Lex,
You may be the only one on this board that "I've told how TRULY hard we partied at the following Blue and White game on the recruitibg trip. I will say that the police showed up at Ransdale's apartment (qb) and we had to tackle him for fear his smack talk to the boys in blue would end up ugly. We put him on a 10' x10' raft with his girlfriend and tied a rope to it and the dock and let him be in "semi-solitary" (we could still hear them and them us) to metabolize. WILD night on the recruit trail. Only in the 80's!!
I was a vol fan....just taking my "trips" and way too small for the Vols. I was 18 at the time of the game and the afore mentioned Blue and White game the following spring. They were convinced that it was the begining of a streak

I was 12.

I think it is crazy that none of the players on either team were even born then. Even more crazy, it is likely that very few of the current players' parents had even met at that point.

Last year seemed to have been their best shot and considering the direction of the two programs now, I don't see it happening in the next 4-5 years. The streak should easily get into the 30s.

It will be a dark day when it finally comes to an end.

A lot of this really puts it into perspective of how long the streak actually is

All but one of my kids is older than I was when the streak started

There were 4.7 billion people in the world in 1984. Somewhere around 7 billion now
So 2.3 billion people(in 1927 only 2 billion populated the entire planet) have never heard of a UT lose to Kentucky

I was 6 living in Texas and not yet a vols fan so thankfully I didn't have to hear about it.

Eventually, unless Kentucky joins the ACC or Big East, the streak will end. After all, give a monkey a word processor and eventually he'll type a word (see the Vols lost to Memphis once). I just hope it isn't for a LONG, LONG time!

I was 21. And it was a big deal because we lost, but not because it was Kentucky. I couldn't have imagined beating them this many times in a row.
