I just wanted to start a thread about how much I love UT. I just got done watching a lot of old highlights of our great dynasty. I just wanted everyone to join in and post some of there favorite moments in UT history, rather it be highlights or just interviews with players in coaches. Let me see what you got Vol Nation!!!!!!!!

3. Beating Miami in the Orange Bowl 31-7.
4. Beating Michigan in a bowl game 45-17
5. Getting to watch Peyton Manning play-didn't get to see any games in person but enjoyed every moment he was at QB
6. Beating Bama during Peyton's years.
7. Beating Bama more than 4 years in a row.
8. Beating Bama, Georgia and Florida all in the same year.

Basketball:

My favorite Tennessee moment.....

October 2007 South Carolina up 21 zip at halftime. Vols fight back, get a bit lucky and win it in overtime. So freaking great.

You do realize that the Vols were the team up 21-0?

I don't see how any Tennessee fan's favorite moment can be anything other than January 4, 1999.

I am feeling confused. I looked it up and you are correct, vols lead at half.

I will talk to my friend, we talk of this game all the time, and see if I somehow have swapped Gamecocks with another team.

My favorite moment is the 51 yard field goal to beat Florida in 2004. In 1999 I was only 10 years old so that is why the UF game beats that for me. Maybe one day soon we will get back there so I can mark a NC game down as my favorite moment. Until then Wilhoit's kick will do.

This is a feeling I yearn to have once again. I will never forget this night and where I was and driving home with my Tennessee Flag Flying high and "Rocky Top" screaming from my radio and me singing along as loud as I possibly could. I never dreamed at the time I would be sitting here over 12 years later and not even have another conference championship much less a national championship. I just keep thinking I want that feeling just once more in my life and I will not take it for granted!

I wish I could start a new thread....ugh...


anyways, the game I am trying to think of happened at home in 2007. My friend was at the game and got pissed and left in the 3rd only to see the sky light up like the 4th of july from fireworks in the 4th. He missed an amazing come back.....

What game was it?

In addition to all of the great memories associated with the ’98 season, here are a few of our crowning achievements:

1990 Tennessee 45 Florida 3 (‪Tennessee 45 Florida 3 (1990 Highlights)‬‏ - YouTube ), Spurrier’s first and worst loss to the Big Orange.

As previously noted, the Miracle at South Bend (‪"Miracle at South Bend"‬‏ - YouTube )

’86 Sugar Bowl (one of the most dominating, rewarding and inspired performances ever against a powerful and heavily favored Miami team) ‪Tennessee '86 Sugar Bowl Memories by Russ Finley‬‏ - YouTube . For a song that ultimately proved to be quite prophetic, see ‪Battle of New Orleans 1986 Sugar Bowl‬‏ - YouTube

2001 Tennessee 34 Florida 32 Eighteen point underdogs going into the game, Travis Stephens single-handedly smashes Florida in the mouth, rushing for roughly 230 yds and 2 tds., as the Big Orange drain the Swamp in Spurrier’s last home game as coach of the Reptilian Horde.
‪Fulmer Pre-Game Speech, 2001, vs Florida.‬‏ - YouTube

1969 Tennessee 41 Alabama 14. Tennessee dominated this game much more thoroughly than the final score indicated; they amassed a 34-0 lead before the Crimson tidy bowl boys scored a couple of late garbage touchdowns. Steve Kiner unleashed a performance for the ages against ‘bama; he had “five sacks, 11 tackles with five assists, four quarterback hurries, an interception and a forced fumble” (University of Tennessee Athletics Football ).

1990 Cotton Bowl One of the greatest performances ever by a Tennessee running back, Chuck Webb ran over, through and around Arkansas for 250 yds. and 2 tds. (‪Chuck Webb's "relentless" day at the Cotton Bowl‬‏ - YouTube )

2002 Citrus Bowl In the afternoon of the Woodson “heistman” fiasco, this humiliating defeat of Michigan (45-17) was very sweet. See it again virtually in its entirety at ‪2001 Citrus Bowl (Tennessee Pummels Michigan 45-17)‬‏ - YouTube

2003 Tennessee 10 Miami 6 In a defensive slugfest that would have warmed Neyland’s heart, the Big Orange snap Miami’s 28-game home winning streak, thus shutting Kellen Winslow Junior’s big mouth. (‪2003 - Tennessee Ends Miami's 28 Game Home Winning Streak (Video 2 - 2nd Half)‬‏ - YouTube )
