My brother said it would take a "Miracle in Athens" to win on the final play, I told him it was about to happen, and it did. To all my Vol brothers and sisters, this is TRULY a night we will never forget. Remember there is always hope until that clock hits zero. Congratulations to us all! GO ****ing VOLS!!!!!

What is really funny is I kid you not.1:00 before the miracle, UGA was roaring, and the announcer at the stadium 🏟 was playing "The White Stripes- 7 Nation Army".

That... I'm sorry, but that made my week. Thank god and congrats to our boys.

GBO!

After Georgia scored with 10 seconds left I thought that was it. So, I took my son and left the stadium. Oops. I hope he forgives me.

My daughter walked back inside after taking the dog out right after GA scored and she couldn't believe it. I explained to her that we have 4 seconds left and that we still had a chance, but not to get her hopes up because it is a VERY small chance.....she turned to me and said..."Daddy, miracles CAN happen."

And then Dobbs threw the ball.


I was humbled tonight.

I yelled "TN just won' in the middle of a bunch of unbelieving GA fans in Dalton GA. It was priceless the Looks on their faces!

I remember the 2006 game where we came back and blasted them. The Atlanta journal newspaper headline was "beat down between the hedges". The governor was mad and talking about it on tv. Ha

I was in a casino bar in Murphy, North Carolina with the majority of the people in it GA fans--very vocal fans who made a comment on every play. When they hit the bomb there was a lot of, "That's it, that showing 'em". The GA people were cheering, hugging each other, one guy slammed a bill on the bar and declared, "A round for all my guys."
We Tennessee few for the most part just started at the big screen, shocked, numb, and quietly praying for a miracle.

The GA people were still congratulating themselves when the miracle occurred. We all went crazy, and some of the GA people looked at the screen and yelled, "Whhhattt? That's not right."

And at that exact moment a gaggle of orange clad folks appeared at the bar entrance and from some feet away a single voice came through clear and echoing through the bar. "Rocky Top, you'll always be..."

I haven't cheered this much since 1998. I can hardly talk today. Go Vols!
