How old were you...

[Proud Army Wife]

when we won the championship in 98? Where were you?
Bored, and since we're waiting for our bowl game, I figured how about story time.
I was 13 and watched it with my dad, grandma, and little brother. My dad and I jumped up and down for joy. We we're on the edges of our seats the entire game. I remember Fulmer's and Tee's post game interview so vividly. I'll never forget that magical feeling. My does time go by so fast.

 

[SDV]

I was a student at UT and at the game

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I was nine and didn’t care about football. My dad was extremely happy though

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I was 14, watching at home with my parents, little brother, aunt and uncle. I was really the only Tennessee fan, but everybody else was pulling for Tennessee except for my uncle. His sister was married to an FSU fan.

Dagum, all y’all are younguns.

 

[tennesseepride84]

I was 26 and watching with two friends of mine, eating pizza and wings while we threw back a few cold ones... Also remember they had a black lab in the game room and every time we jump and celebrated the dog would bark and go crazy as if he was joining in.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Tempe, Arizona in the Florida State section surrounded by lots of orange.....

(We bought our tickets from the FSU allotment and I still occasionally get requests from FSU to contribute today). I was 19 1/2.

[Smokey X]

I was 43...don't want it to be a downer but was in the hospital with our 3 year old son who had just undergone a 5 hour surgery to remove a neuroblastoma tumor.
Earlier in the year I had taken our 5 year old son to his first UT game against Arkansas. What a year.

 

[Creeker]

I was 7, we all went over to my grandparents house and watched together. I remember I was struggling to stay awake and then Peerless caught that TD pass. I made it to the end of the game after that.

 

[TJVol95]

I was 27 living in Memphis. Left Knoxville in 95 after graduating.

 

[37620VOL]

That would make us the same age. I was 13 and loved it. But I had no clue what a special thing I was watching.

 

[vollygirl]

32, watched all the games that season with my ex-husband's cousin's wife. The guys stayed in the garage working on a car they were rebuilding, and she snd I watched football.

 

[Power T-Rev]

I was 11 and was watching the game in my living room, sitting on the floor. I was recording it on the VCR. Still have the video tape today. Lol

49 and watching at home.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

42. Watched with sound on mute and listened via WLAC strong night signal as Ward and Anderson called their last game.

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

Just barely 5, I don’t even remember it.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I was 9. I loved UT. Didnt understand football but I loved UT.

 

[MikeVol44]

33....actually can't remember where I watched the game....sad.....

I do remember turning the sound down and listening to Ward call it....."...the National Champion is clad in----wait for it.......BIG ORANGE!"

I was 40 and hoping this would be the moment I was able to see UT win a natty. I think it had been 50 years since our last one so I doubted I'd live to see a second at that rate. Glad to have witnessed it and have the energy to get through a long work day the day after.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Almost 30 and watched from TX. We had moved from Memphis the year before. The neighbors probably thought there was trouble at the house with all the yelling during the game. I had the UT flag flying from the front porch.

 

[Remy]

I was living and working in LA and getting ready to take a job in Saudi Arabia for the next two years building out their mobilephone network.
