It was definitely different from tv but we enjoyed it! Sat in the Missouri section in row 2, 35 yard line (right in front of the dumb speakers).
Despite the horrible outcome (including the refs) my favorite moments:
-Constant (playful) berating of Missouri's punter, eventually asking him if he could play LT.
-Our fans yelling for Missouri to "Put Trump in!"
-Someone making fun of #10 for not having any grass stains, then saying "If we didnt suck so bad I would talk more **** to you."
Surprisingly the only near fight was 2 of our fans arguing over seats.
As much as we would have enjoyed sitting directly behind UTs players, yall made it enjoyable during this rout. šŸ˜‚

As much fun as you had at a loss, try to imagine the amount of fun you would have at a win. The whole ride home you get to talk about all the bad plays that we can learn from but not take the loss.

There’s really nothing like being at the game. Sure there is more comfort watching at home, but would you rather go to a Rock Concert or stream it on the best system at home(I hope we all know the answer to that.)?

There is so much fun to be had at games. After a win that is really all that matters is how we won. After a loss we all try to justify the good times we had in spite of the loss.

My favorite road trip is to go to Daytona(I love the beach and ocean.)for a week and then swing over to the Swamp to watch our Vols do some Swamp Stomping on the way back home(I’ve never seen a win there. 2016 was the 1st time I’ve been there for a win,)

I don't get this. What am I missing?

My top games are 2016 Florida, 2003 Bama 5ot, and The Miracle.

I’ve been to a few Ga games every one was a loss.

I’ve only seen 1 Bama win and 1 Florida win.

The opportunity for me to go to games increased about the time we started our decline. Most unfortunate.

I’m way past ready to see us winning more.

I got the green light to head to Nashville this weekend, so I hope to see you all there. I’ll be wearing Orange.

I’m sure it’s me.

The only win over Florida I’ve been to was at Neyland in 2016. I’ve never seen a win at the Swamp.
Got it.

Only time I've seen us win against them was 2003 at the Swamp.

I was there for our last two losses at the swamp. My paranoia is spilling over into Vol football. Another most unfortunate occurrence. My brain tells me being paranoid about it is silly, but then at the same time my brain is telling me that that’s exactly what ā€œtheyā€ want me to think.

We live 2.5 hours away and this was one of the few times money didnt keep us from going. I dont care about watching them demolish a cupcake but dont want to pay the big bucks for a rivalry game. Saturday was my birthday and it was an SEC game and the tickets were CHEAP and couldnt pass up a row 2 experience. Obviously would have rather lost a nailbiter instead of feelinglike we wasted our time, so to speak, but it was fun. If we lived nearby we would try to go more.

We sat on the first row for the first time earlier this year. It's a pretty cool experience but not something to do every time. My point is, next time you catch a game try to sit higher - like at least row 30 and up. You can see the action way more and be able to take more of it in!

there's nothing like being there, no doubt, but a loss is easier to take in my living room...where a shot of Beam is handy...:D

GO VOLS...BEAST VANDY!
