2003. Five overtimes in Bryant-Denny. I was sitting near the end zone where all the action happened. I’m not sure that experience can ever be topped.

I wouldn’t consider that a fond memory of mine. We should have easily won that game. That is more of an angst-inducing memory.

95 in Birmingham no doubt!

1985 in Birmingham. Tony Robinson went down with a knee injury, Daryl Dickey replaced him at QB and the Vols held on for a 16-14 victory with a Dale Jones interception on Bama‘s last drive of the game. A little additional color is my wife fainted during the game due to the heat and some medication she was taking and had to spend the entire second half in the Red Cross Medic room. I had to keep running back and forth from Red Cross to the tunnel to watch the game and check on her. What a memory

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

1985 at Legion Field in Birmingham. Bama after diving at Tony Robinsons knees all day finally crippled him and took him out with TN ahead 16-7, as soon as Robinson went out Bama scored to cut it to 16-14 and had the momentum. Bama was driving for the go ahead score when Dale Jones tipped a Mike Shula pass in the air and then caught it himself for the interception, still one of the greatest individual plays I’ve witnessed. TN held on for the win and we celebrated hard at The Downtown Sheraton that night, the band and team joined us for awhile. Good times back then.

1998. Pow on Zow. Peerless with the 100 yard kickoff return for a TD directly following Shaun Alexander's long TD run where he gave the fans an "L" symbol on his forehead.

1982--the Bear's last year, I think.

I got pelted with mustard and ketchup packets at Legion Field in 1995. Was and is still my favorite butt whoopin and Peyton moment i ever witnessed.

1995 without question. My favorite game of all time.

Do you recall if there was a fine levied?

That was Tuscaloosa

1996. Bama led 13-0 and Tennessee put up 20 unanswered points. Game was tied 13 all late in the 4th. Crowd was getting pissed thinking Fulmer was playing for OT when Jay Graham broke off an 80 yard touchdown. Tennessee had to hold on late when Leonard Little hit Freddy Kitchens and forced a fumble on 4th and goal. It was high drama. 1998 would be second but that game was never in doubt.

1995 was in Birmingham. The game remained at Legion field until 1997. 1999 was the first game back in Tuscaloosa. I was also in Birmingham in 1997.

No sir, it was 100% at Legion Field in Birmingham.

The fine wa levied and paid in full by a Mr Peyton Manning, who personally embarrassed every Bammer in attendance that night. It’s the single highest fine ever paid in person.

I believe the fine was $4114

T-Rob in 1984....only because I wasn't there for 1982.

$22 for a ticket, I miss those days

 

[PEPPERJAX]

1996 was legit.

 

[BSAvol]

1998 for me. My 28 year old son was 5 at the time and this was his first game. He is in the military now, but we managed to begin a tradition to see at least one game together for 22 years straight before missing a year. We'll resume one day I hope.
