was at many section x games. mom and dad were in section r1955 Miss. State. Johnny Majors had a beautiful 65 yd TD but Vols lost 13 7. Me and younger brother sneaked in behind ticket taker at gate in front of old section X. Big trees and grass inside fences on west stands. What a difference a lifetime makes!
Could not remember the team for my first game but Bowden Wyatt was the coach and Glen Glass was the tailback in the single wing, either 58' or 59' . At least this is the best my memory can provide. Possibly went to a game a year earlier Pretty sure we were already in our seats in section V about 50 rows up. Seven or eight years old...
Mine was the 1986 season opener against New Mexico. Tennessee won 35-21
I was there in press box, working game for Huntsville TimesYeah, I was there and as an Alabama native, I despise either of those teams from there. I remember a hot day of sunshine in the first half followed by the torrents of rain that made play almost impossible. Battle had Steve Chancey quick kicking on first down twice with David Langer of AU panicking to get to them. Great times; my last season on The Hill.
friend of mine at college hitchhiked from NC to that game as his parents had tickets, After leaving someone threw bottle at his parents; car. Parentts' car had Knoxville plates
