Tennessee has a proud tradition with many memorable victories in its history. Last Saturday will go down as one of the most memorable games in recent history, if not, all time. Being a fan since the late 70's, I recollect several games that stick out as classics....most earning a title of their own, or a phrase that takes you back to that one certain game....."Miracle in South Bend", "Stoerner Stumble", "No Sir Ree"

This classic deserves a name. Let's hear em....

Someday instead of reminiscing over the time TS drained the swamp we will be reminiscing over the time Nobel Prize winner Dobbs got a duck to pull a truck

Edit: Not that we are going to forget about TS anytime soon lol

I think the UF win could be a program changing win. It may completely change the mentality and confidence of Tennessee football. I think it woke this team up and made them realize exactly what it's capable of it if it plays up to potential.

My vote for what it should be called is "the day a big orange duck pulled a truck."

It was a great win. Probably the most satisfying since UF 2001, but not as classic that game, or the '98 win. When all's said and done, we beat a borderline top 25 team at home like we should.

Borderline top 25 or not, we spotted 21 points to a rival to whom we had repeated mental collapses against over the years. Then a switch was flipped and we scored 38 consecutive points.

It's a classic.

*edit* If you remember, after we took out their kicker to beat ND in the "Miracle at South Bend", they went on to lose a few in a row and were a bubble team. That doesn't take away the satisfaction of beating a team that the NBC announcers proclaimed were "just on a different level from Tennessee."

I didn't say it wasn't a classic. I said it wasn't up there with the 01 UF or 98 UF wins. Those games came down to the last play, so did the Miracle at South Bend. This game against UF in 2016, you knew we were going to win with 7 minutes left.
