Tennessee fans, what's your favorite Florida memory?

I'm gonna need help on this one. I've tried to find it, but i'm second guessing my recollection:

I want to say Leonard Scott, but not sure. My mind says Scott, but my other mind says not old enough....

Anyhooo....
Deep in our own territory, and basically fixing to lose, with last play of game coming up. Short dump on a cross in the middle. threaded the gaps in the D for what was probably a 85 yard rip to the endzone for the win. Was probably pre-Spurrier. not sure why my head ties that play to Scott, cause I think that play goes back atleast late 80's.

All of these are great but the Jennings TaborToast pass on the way to breaking a drought gets my vote.

Let me break out the way back machine.

1990. 45-3. Dale Carter returning the second half kickoff. The whole stadium doing a mock chomp. How crazy is it that they were our homecoming game that year?!

1992. 31-14 Heath Shuler to Mose Phillips in a deluge. Crowd cheered thunder claps. Good times

Yeah hard to top those... But id put 2001 just ahead.

But last year might have to be first.... Was the first game my daughters attended... So it will always stick out

Best FL memory, 2 that come to mind, the 2001 Defensive scheme is my fav. All time. The way big John Henderson stalked the FL. O-line was fantastic, and the next morning on the Ol' ball coach show, they were going thru the game play by play and at the end, he said and there you have it, "somehow TN is beating FL"--Steve Spurrier

Jamming out to old rock n roll in the jeep and having fans in the opposite car sing along, as well as fans walking to their car:rock:

Seen some good looking chicks dancing beside the jeep too:yes:

Last year. I don't remember Tennessee ever winning due to my age until last year.

Since I've been watching Tennessee football it's only happened 5 times. Here's one of those that nobody has brought up so far:

2003 in the Swamp. Clausen to Banks, Hail Mary right before the half. Defense and running game took control in the 2nd half, like a typical Fulmer team would do. Not to mention a freshman James Wilhoit, who hit a 51-yard FG, foreshadowing an even bigger kick the next year. Vols win 24-10.

The aforementioned 1990 45-3 azz whooping. Dale Carter with the kick 6 to start the 2nd half and the onslaught began.

The Monsoon game was great also.

The moment everyone was waiting for when Eric Berry met Tebow at the line of scrimmage by the goal line. Unstoppable force stopped by the Immovable object.

I was in my 2nd year (of 5) of residency at UK when Tebow took the unblocked shot in Commonwealth (everyone thought he was dead and so worse in person than on TV, stadium completely silent) and ended up with a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (they released that info later so not a privacy violation). My intern was on trauma the next morning and I run into him on an OB hall where they were hiding Tim under a false name. He took me into the room to meet him. My intern was an Oklahoma grad.

To this day Tim Tebow is the nicest guy I have ever met. Within 2 seconds of talking to him you knew it was all genuine too. I don't care if he is a Gator. Solid guy.

I also met Urban Meyer in that same room. Slimiest prick I ever came in contact with. I had been at UT Memphis when Calipari was there and then he followed me to Lexington. I also hung out with Pitino one night during he annual UK-Louisville game and our director of trauma surgery at UK was Godfather to Billy Donovan's kids and met him...Urban Meyer made all three of their New Jersey slimeball reps look like child's play in just 2 min of talking. Lies and that "I am better than anyone else in the world attitude" just oozes from him.

Born and raised Tennessean and family and I are all UT alums but Tim Tebow is beyond awesome as an individual but Urban Meyer is the biggest prick I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.

'98 hard to beat, but the most distinct memory comes from '85 (I know we lost). Tn had turned Fla in to the NCAA, tension was high, the Fla national guard was on alert in Gainesville. We walked up and handed the tickets to a STATE TROOPER. I commented on the huge police presence and the officer replied-" Afraid there aren't nearly enough, sir."

After Creamer's stupid pf sealed the deal for Fla, we got the heck out of there.

BTW a very nice couple apologized for what was going on in the stands- "This isn't Florida football."

Last year because it was the first time I've witnessed a win against them in person. Not going to lie, I teared up a little when Butch called that timeout to let us all soak it in.
