I can remember listening to that one on the radio. Going out there and picking up that win felt absolutely huge.

I was stationed @ Carswell AFB in Ft Worth. I called my dad in Gallatin and had him put the phone reciever up to the radio speaker. You can imagine what that did to my phone bill, but it was wort it.

damn fights on the strip every weekend. We got tired of it after a year or two and moved it downtown. Nobody cared who was down there. Everybody was drunk. After wins was ridiculous, including the players.

I remember my dad, my older brother and myself would go through our parlay tickets and the ones we were not sure on, wait to see who Leonard pick and then decide off his info...looking back now sure shows how technology has changed our lives.

my roommate won the weekly paper pickem contest and blew through the cash quickly. I think it was @ $1500. He bought a moped, a guitar, and a years worth of protein shakes and creatine.

Can't stop laughing thinking about that right now.

Sometimes deja vu just can't be beat.

I watched the 98 NC game a couple oif nights ago and it was still great to watch.

Great post OP and I tend to think you just might be right about this years team.

VFL...GBO!!!

I was at the game opening night. By the 4th qu. one of the guys with me had his hands over his face saying, "well maybe we'll have a good basketball team." We only beat Colorado St. 17-7. First of all, Kelly fumbled the snap on the one yd line; not to mention CSU had a pretty good team. Don't anyone say it was Henton, because Kelly played some in that game.

Wow!!! Great post. I graduated from HS in 89 in Memphis. I have been a true Vol fan for over 20 years. Being a teenager and going straight into the Army, that year, as far as football is a little fuzzy. I love hearing such superior insight from seasoned volunteer vets. I have mentioned many times before, on many sites about this feeling I have about this upcoming season. I have been on ESPN radio in South Carolina(where I live now) talking about the Vols and how this season will be special. I believe our record this season at minimum will be 8-4 (due to the schedule and our talent level), the best is hard to say: 10-2, 11-1, 12-0 are all very possible if the Defense clicks and the offense plays at its full capability. I have settled on 9-3/10-2 with great optimism. Many people in this area are drinking the Spurrier kool-aid and give me flack. I told them their success will be short lived, we have a tremendous history of winning, and are on the brink of another rise to glory. I believe we will go "Between the hedges", 4-0 and have a great season of recruiting because of the success of this year. Our toughest games will be NC State, being our game of the year, Florida(mental), Alabama, USC and Mizzo. Get ready Volnation, a new era of greatness is upon us. Go Vols!!!

Nice post...

I was a junior at UT then and a bartender at the Last Lap!!! I remember that team well...

My freshman year,1987, the freshmen football players lived in N Carrick because the athletic dorm was not complete. I became friends with Mark Moore, Anthony Morgan, Ernest Fields, Marion Hobby and Tracy Hayworth that year. We used to hang on a nightly basis doing really stupid stuff....even Reggie Cobb was in on some of it, but VERY low key. It was easy for me to be friends with them because I worked at a very popular bar....everyone's best friend. LOL

One time, Mark Moore, Tracy Hayworth and I were walking through N Carrick parking lot, headed to my car, and Mark was jumping from bumper to bumper on each car. It was really impressive to see this huge dude doing such a thing like a gymnast...til he face planted into the hood of a car...leaving a huge dent.

Havin been around major college football players in that setting made me immune to what they do during the off-season and even during the season. It's just part of being a kid

I remember going to a party at Knoxville College with a couple of them...whew, man talk about awkward being the only white guy in the house. (no racist).

I also remember seeing Anthony Miller (WR) tooling around in a brand new black BMW 533 (I believe it was) all over campus with a monster bass thump.

And last but not least....I remember rumors flying around that OC Phillip Fulmer was after the HC job from Coach Majors.

Ahhhhh....those were the days. Thanks OP for the trip down memory lane.

Yep. Rolling around campus when Hayworth, Hobby, Cobb, Morgan, Pickens, Carter and Alvin Harper were all around was something else. It wasn't always low key for them.
