I thought the game we set the attendance record was the Jabar Gafney "catch" game, either way, I was there for both.

'04 was the first game my (then future) wife and I went to together...good sign. We sat in the North Endzone, in section X, and couldn't tell until the exact second that Wilhoit's kick went through the uprights that the kick was good.

The ground rumbled that night. I don't think I've ever heard Neyland louder...God, that was a good night.

Wish I could've been at the SC game last year. I bet it was close...

HA! Good to be back around more. I take time away during the off season...but we will need to see who actually makes it in before saying watch for them as so much can change on a dime. I would love if one of the big DT's makes it in. We need 2 good ones in this class

I don't know if the Georgia game from last year or the Florida game in 98 was louder. The stadium was shaking at the Georgia game last year, and the Florida game in 98 was an unbelievable atmosphere.

This is my assessment of butch and Gibsons conversation.

Butch : hey Torrance we know u want to wait until after your season but gentry wants to commit in June. U are our number one qb this cycle but I can't wait until December on you u if gentry wants to commit early. We can't wait to see u at the orange and white game. Go vols

Gibson : Im gonna try to come in on Thursday and if I like what I see this weekend I'll commit.

Florida in '98 was electrifying! It was just an unbelievable atmosphere! I'll always remember the scene when they missed that field goal in OT.

I will too. Ended up on the field running around for 45 minutes like a kid in a candy store.

The Florida game in 98 is easily the most 'live' game I've ever been to. Ever. Any stadium, any sport. When the Florida kicker missed the field goal, the sound was deafening and Neyland shook so much it was hard to focus your vision. Un-be-lievable.

I wasn't at the florida game in 1998, but the one in 2004 when wilhoit missed the extra point and then made a 50+ yarder to win it was a stadium shaking night as well

I agree. The stadium was shaking at the Georgia game last year, too. It was making my vision difficult to focus as well. At that Florida game, it was hard to take in how loud it really was, because people were on my back literally as we were rushing the field. I was just trying to stay on both of my feet. Definitely a live atmosphere. Now, I'm sad, because I miss those days badly!

I was there too, and I agree. I don't think the 98 Florida game will ever be topped, for the following reasons:

First, there were over 107,000 fans - 5,000 more than our current stadium capacity. Second, the outcome couldn't have been more satisfying and cathartic for Vol fans coming after so many catastrophic Florida meltdowns during the mid-90s (although a win over a Kiffen-coached Alabama team this year might come close). Third, Neyland Stadium didn't have to resort to pre-recorded music or other Jumbotron gimmicks to keep everyone's attention between breaks. Finally, 1998 was before people started doing that effiminate "WOOOO" during the chorus to Rocky Top.

Here's the missed field goal again, for old time's sake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xakh6kR9ChM#t=25m31s

You sound like such a grumpy old man. Are you really hating on the jumbotron?
