I thought this would be fun considering we are less than 4 weeks away. Yeah, it's not on TV, but deal with it punk.

Again, thanks to Yankeefanintenn on youtube.

I just watched this video on Sunday. I sure hated that we didn't get a shot at the NC that year, but on the bright side, it sure was nice to completely dominate Michigan. :)

3 weeks after the LSU loss and I was still in hangover mood and upset. I remember Dickey having to send out a letter to the News Sentinel begging for people to buy tickets and support the team even though we were disappointed. I didn't and was happy to sit on the couch and watch this.

I did and enjoyed a great Vol victory and family vacation. Good times. I remember about 20,000 drunk Michigan fans and all they could do was laugh.

It was amazing to see a 265 lb TE (Witten) just blow by the Michigan secondary like they were sitting still.

I watched the game with some relatives from Michigan and I have never heard so much griping and excuse making. They left the room when I yelled, "see that big TE outrunning the DBs".

I didn't realize until hearing them say it on this game that Jason Witten started as a defensive lineman. This makes his success that much more impressive.

Not really. There are a lot of players that swich positions. Keep in mind these are great athletes and most of them played several positions in HS.

Witten also said he hated the move and was mad at the coaches for it

I'll bet he's glad he gave in. $$$$$$

Although I can see why he would think that. UT had never really thrown to the TE that much prior to Witten. A few passes here and there but certainly not a weapon position for UT.

So would you rather have a chance at TFL or sack or be a glorified OT (in Witten's mind)?

Wow, did any one else see the comparison of Peyton and Clausen's first two years at 10:17? Proof that we do not give Casey the credit he deserves.

I think casey had better recievers to throw to than peyton did. Seems like peyton always had one main target. Casey had 3 that year.

Casey gets too much credit and mainly it is his road record against Florida and the upset in Miami where I think he was prohibited from throwing the ball. Peyton lost one home game his final three years as starting QB and lost only three road games during that stretch. Three and one in bowl games over his career. The comparisons ended after Casey's junior season. Randy Sanders could have been a factor.

I am not a sanders fan. Good luck Kentucky, you're going to need it.
