If you didn’t get a piece of the goalpost you probably went home with a chunk of the field. Fans were pulling up a chunk of the Power T or the endzone to take home. I had mine for years. Part of the reason why storming the field is prevented now the grass looked like garbage afterwards. Plus we don’t win anymore anyway.

Funny story.

A friend of mine had drove from middle Tn to the game and said he got back to his car after the game just in time to see fans climbing over his hood with one of the goalposts. IIRC he just left the small dents in memory.

After watching that game again, I think Tee Martin’s greatest play in his career was that scramble on third down in OT to make a FG manageable. He made a lot of great plays, but without that one I doubt we get to where we got.

Just curious, but with every game from the last 30 years or so available why you would pick this one.

We'll, it's odd. But that game does have probably the greatest string of defensive plays in UT football history. Something like 5 turnovers taken on 6 plays in a row iirc. Statistically outrageous.

Man, alot has changed in 20 years. It is almost an entirely different game being played nowadays.

“Tennessee also began a historic streak in 1938. By shutting out their last four regular season opponents, the Vols began a streak of 17 consecutive regular season shutouts and 71 consecutive shutout quarters, still NCAA records. Athlon Sports has named the 1938 UT team as the third best college football team of all time.”

Jeff Hall MVP no doubt. Nail in the coffin two weeks in a row in 98’
