Vol Fans Born on or After Mid-90's

[rjd970]

I have seen some posters on here that say they can't remember UT ever being good, or are too young to remember the glory days of the 90's. If you can, you need to try and make it to the game this weekend, or at least go down to the stadium and soak in the atmosphere. It will be like what UT football used to be.

Night game. UT/UF. SEC east implications. College Gameday. Both teams ranked. Neyland sold out. Loud. Crazy. Intimidating.

I will be there, excited to experience this again. It's been too long.

I was born in '91 so much of UT's glory days are a distant memory. I'm a UT student now so I'm ready to experience some of UT's former glory! Go Vols!

Young Vol fans.... learn from your elders.(only the wise ones though) :yes: :good!:

This is the one of the most important game of the past 5 years in my opinion.

Easily

I think that for the sake of the program's direction, its bigger than that

I was only 7 at the time, but I was at the 98 Florida game, and to this day I can remember every detail of the last couple seconds of the game and the aftermath! I always get chillbumps thinking about this. I'm a student here now, so seeing all of that possibly happen again this Saturday would be absolutely insane!!

Go Big Orange!

Biggest game since "The Drainage" in 2001. What game is second in that time period?

Agreed. The stage has been set, we have to win this game.

 

[orbs son]

I remember when the first 2 weeks off the season we're blowouts and all that mattered was UT/FLA, both ranked a usually both in the top 10!

Being a ripe young 37 my first Vol memory is the year we lost all those games to start the year. 88 I think. Lot of parallels to last year. We went on a hell of a run in the next 10 years after that. We could stand for that to happen again.

Born in 86, started going games in 91 so while some are hazy memories they are still there. Mid to late 90's I have great memories of though. What a time to be growing up in Big Orange Country.

Do you remember the first half of the 95 Florida game? Missed it walking home from work. Saw every bit of the 2nd 1/2 destruction. Don't need a visual.

 

[bigsteve13]

i'm 22 but for those of us who grew up in the 90s, all we knew was winning, so it would be like damn we only made it to the SEC championship and the cotton bowl this year we suck!!! for me, i can't really remember much before the 97-98 championship season. I was 7. now we have seen the lowest of lows so it will mean something to us when we are good again.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I started paying attention to Tenn in the early 70's and we only had radio and John Ward. Tenn would be on maybe once a season & then maybe a bowl game...no news of recruits whatsoever. In the 80's things really started to take off because of Johnny Majors and the rest is history. It's good to be an old vol lover and will be to the day I die!! :devilsmoke: epper: Sorry that this was off topic of discussion but...there you go.

Those bummer & gator "fans" will evaporate when they are down. Nevr met a true life-long fla fan.....ever!!!!

I've been only watching since 2006. Lol. I was born in 94. I didn't get into football til around 12.

those seasons feel so far away now.

Probably why I like watching Manning so much. I don't feel old as long as he's still doing it out there
