This post gives me the chills!! Can't wait til football time in Tennessee!!

I know it's about the top 5 games, but the one that sticks out most to me is 04 Florida. I brought my ex to Knoxville for the first time, and we came with 8 Florida fans that were giving us crap the entire weekend....funny thing is I couldn't get any of them to pick up their phones after the game!! Did anyone else catch Vanilla Ice the night before the game?!? ahhhhhh, the memories....

Florida '98
Arkansas '98
Alabama '95
Florida 2001
Florida 2004


It's obvious the magnitude of the of the '98 games.

Who could forget beating Bama after the long drought in '95. The first play from Manning to Kent was amazing

Florida 2001 was awesome because it won us the East and left Spurrier dejected in his final home game as the Gator coach.

I threw the Florida game from 2004 in there because of the emotional roller coaster that game put me through. Fortunately, it ended on a high with the awesome kick by Wilhoit.

I've only been to one game. :cry:

2001 against South Carolina. It was a pretty good game, but is was very cold, especially for October.

The stadium has a lot of seats.

So I've noticed, but still... Damn.

 

[GAVol]

I was in my living room . . . on the floor . . . in the fetal position . . . with my hands over my eyes.

....which is oddly the way I watched every game last year.

 

[milohimself]

I was spared from seeing any games over here. There were no broadcasts by anybody on the west coast.

2001 Florida - Simply unbelievable game, we traded blow for blow and beat Spurrier in his finale at home, crushing the gators hopes and dreams for a shot at the national title.

That was a great game, couldn't have said it better. That was 9/11 year, where the game was postponed to the last game of the season.

Let's not forget either, i'm not sure what year, but when we played miami and all the talk was Vinny this, Vinny that (Vinny Testaverde), and we put him on his ass all night long.

I always add this caveat when people talk about our loss to LSU in '01, so I'll also add it to Florida's loss to us for consistency's sake. Florida didn't lose a shot at the National Championship. They lost a chance to get the living h**l beaten out of them by Miami.

I agree there. They were one of the best teams ever. Still would rather be there tha the Citrus Bowl.
