Anybody else miss the broadcast team of Sean McDonough and Terry Donahue? They called almost every one of our games that fateful year and I thought they were pretty good....maybe it was just because we were winning....

Only one quip though - they applauded the Arkansas punter for kicking the ball through the end zone to take a safety in the 4th quarter - they, just like the officiating crew did not know the rule that should have given Tennessee the option of taking the ball half the distance to the goal from where it was kicked which would have been the four yard line with the score 24-20 Arkansas.....If not for that mistake Tennessee doesn't need the Stoerner stumble.

Thing that pissed me off was that Clinton made us miss some of this game wagging the dog.

:angry:

Jamal Lewis didn't play in the '98 Arkansas game....He tore his ACL against Auburn a month earlier....and Tennessee had a great running game in '01 with Travis Stephens (it's the O-Line).

Didnt even watch the clip, my apologies...Thought he was referring to last great running back....Travis Stephens was a beast in the swamp that year and I actually got to play agains him at Northeast High School...I think I still have a footprint on my back...

That wasn't a game of both unbeaten teams that led to the national championship for one.

I don't guess you'd like to discuss what Clint did to Tennessee the following season, would you?

I'm fine with the fact that he won when absolutely nothing was on line, but gaffed amazingly when everything was on the line for both schools.

Regale me, please. Don't forget to tell me about what it got for Arky and try to make it sound good, because the gaffe led directly to a national title for us.

Oh no doubt. There was absolutely more on the line when Clint fumbled. Arkansas went one direction, and Tennessee went in an obviously better direction.

The only positive spin I can put on the following year results in Fayetteville, is that Clint managed a great comeback, and beat the defending National and SEC Champions.

I'll take that. :thumbsup:

Yep...most painful moment in Arkansas football history.

Looking back...I can blame the comeback in that game that led up to Stoerner's gaffe on our idiot coach.

BigPapaVol is correct.

This was probably the single most defining moment in recent Arkansas football history.

I am hardly a Houston Nutt proponent, but I have a hard time blaming this one on him since Clint changed the play at the line of scrimmage. :dunno:
