Henderson and Haynesworth

I agree that the 2001 team was one of the most talented we've ever had. But just so you guys know, as talented as we were, we were still 18 point underdogs to Florida that year because they were pretty amazing too. And they weren't even ranked first in the nation at that time, they were second behind Miami who happened to be fielding one of the most talented teams in college football history that year. Just a little perspective. But no way should we have lost to LSU

Wow if you look at the Tennessee and Miami rosters that year its unbelieveable.. There are prob 30 NFL players on those rosters. Amazing talent

The talent of our starting lineups is pretty comparable looking back. They wouldn't have ran on us, but they would have ripped us a new one through the air.

The talent isn't really comparable.

There may have been 30 NFL players on Miami's roste that year.

I'll never forget going from the high of scoring the long go ahead td to the jaw dropping low of the squib kick, hobnail boot loss.

THis is the last UT home game I have been to. It still hurts to think about it.

a complete emotional rollercoaster that ended with my own vomit in my face! yuck:figuratively of course)

If Fatty had the same drive as Suh, he could have been the best D tackle in the history of the SEC. The dude was just a fat and lazy bum.

My wife was physically ill over that game too. In lieu of vomiting she went to bed.

Then, do you remember the infamous squib kick against UGA when we handed that game over to the Bulldogs on a silve platter? Playing 10-15 yards off the receivers with a short field . . . the good ol' "Mustang Package" if I remember correctly. This led to that absolutely stupid "hob-nailed boot" commentary from that senile idiot UGA broadcaster that we have to listen to at least once every season when ESPN plays recaps of exciting finishes from college football history. For all the respect and gratitude that I have to Fulmer and Chavis for some good years, it kills me when I think about that season and what should have been. After 2001, we really went downhill and that is how we ended up where we are now. It was combination of a lot of different things, but this was the beginning.

I was at both of these games.....now I'm mad all over again. I'm going out for some beers now....
