Tennessee gets some mention in ESPN's Top 100 moments in college football.

HAND OF GOD

Knoxville, Tenn. | Nov. 14, 1998

Tennessee's reign at No. 1 looked as if it wouldn't last one game. No. 10, unbeaten Arkansas led, 24-22, and had the ball with less than 2:00 to go. But then guard Brandon Burlsworth stepped on quarterback Clint Stoerner's foot, causing Stoerner to stumble and -- ouch -- fumble. Vols linebacker Chris Ramseur recovered at the Arkansas 43, and Tennessee scored the winning touchdown with :28 left. After that, how could Tennessee not finish No. 1?

SOUTHERN EXPOSURE

Tuscaloosa, Ala. | Oct. 20, 1928

Before their 1928 game, young Tennessee coach Robert Neyland coyly suggested to Alabama coach Wallace Wade that the Vols were no match for the Tide and perhaps the second half could be shortened? Then Tennessee sophomore Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. The Vols stunned the Tide, 15-13, establishing Neyland and Tennessee as a Southern power.

100 to 61 are the only portion of the list available right now...

The Vols were also on the list at #94... for losing to Penn St. in the Sugar Bowl.

In Numbers 100 - 61 we're on there 6 times. 3 for winning and 3 for some other team, yall included:crazy: , beating us. But I'm sure we'll fill up the top 10.

Ok, it was Ramseur. Wikipedia, which is actually quite credible (they have their sources as utsports.com and the 1999 UT Media Guide), says it was Ramseur.

WALK TO REMEMBER

Knoxville, Tenn. | Sept. 6, 1980

Conservative Georgia coach Vince Dooley would dance naked at midfield before he would start a freshman. But with Tennessee leading Georgia 15-2 in the 1980 opener, Dooley placated the fans clamoring for rookie tailback Herschel Walker. From the Tennessee 16, Walker collided with Vols safety Bill Bates at the 5 -- and ran over him, dragging Bates into the end zone. Georgia won 16-15. A career -- and a legend -- came to life.



Oh you Herschel Walker!.... ugh. :banghead2:

That was my first game at Neyland stadium. It was a Worlds Fair/ Home Opener combo.

All of Walker's heroics would have been irrelevant if Glenn Ford hadn't fumbled at the 2 yard line at the end of the game.

14 plays on there for Alabama. Way more than any other team. On behalf of the Tide, I would personally like to thank everyone for all of their support.:rock:
