I'm 18 but have watched or listened to literally every football game and basketball game since I was 3.... I remember watching the NC in 98' and my favorite game was 2001 in the swamp and Travis Stephens running it down floridas throat... 11 years later this game reminds me of that one... Except ill be there!!Gonna run it down their throat and impose our will from the opening play... Go Vols!!!! Gah I'm pumped!!!!

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.

'86 too, though I grew up in metro atl. I remember Fl week '98(7th grade) my literature teacher was a UF grad and wore a uf shirt, knowing I was a huge Tennessee fan. When we went through daily vocab she called on me to answer and smiled while she said, "it's great to be a Fl gator." I respond, " it's great to be a gator hater!" while we tried to shout over each other the rest of the class, probably uga fans, looked at us like we were crazy.

The passion we were fortunate enough to grow up around can't be taught. If we are luck this next generation may also be able to experience this. Like said many times in this thread, it is up to us to show them just how wild it can get when 108,000 crazy, orange-blooded brothers get together, look out.

Also, I believe we can and will win any game because it was the norm to come in the underdog and leave victorious. Go VOLS!

Born in 94. I went to my first UT game in 2001 when i was 7 i believe, UT got beat by Miami, and i was 10 when i was in Neyland for the 04' Wilhoit field goal, i can remember Tennessee being consistently good, but they were going downhill as i grew up. I'll be 18 this saturday when i witness the return in Neyland.

I'm 18 as well. Most of my life has been Florida > Tennessee.

It'll be nice to flip that this weekend.

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!

I haven't seen one single glory day yet. The NC state (2012)/Vandy (2011) wins are the biggest I have seen lol. I am soooo pumped for this weekend. If we beat Florida you guys may be able to hear me shouting and singing rocky top and down the field! Goooo Vols!

Born in 93. Have been to almost every home game since I was three. Can still remember having AJ Suggs as a QB for some reason. I remember Peyton's last home game, 6 OTs with Arkansas, and Wilhoit's game winning field goal. I don't know how anyone my age can't remember us being pretty good.

I began listening to Tennesse games on the radio with George Mooney and Bob Foxx in 1952. Jimmy Wade was the tailback. I followed Johnny Majors into his senior season of 1956, a great year for the Vols. I think the '56 game with Ga. Tech was the best game I ever listened to. The Dewey Warren years in the late sixties also produced some great teams. I also remember lows .. lower than Fulmer's last year. In 1958, the Vols failed to stretch the chains a single time agains Auburn. University of Chattanooga beat them 14-7, and I was there. I have seen a lot of lows and highs. Hopefully, we are about to experience some more highs.

Born in April '87, I grew up watching Peyton Manning lose to the gators. "You can't spell citrus without U-T" Yeah...Screw Steve Spurrier. This year is the dawning of a new age

The 90's doesn't even begin to recall our glory. There's a reason the statue is of General Neyland....to say we dominated college football under him is just an understatement. He was Bear Bryants role model. 17 straight shutout games where opponents did not score a single point.....

That man dominated the game, went to war came back dominated game, went to war came back dominated game......Neyland is just legend...

When I was little it was the Holloway era...to this date that style of QB has been my favorite the closest to get there was Steve McNair....but I laugh when people talk about the "option QB" like it's a new invention....Condredge Holloway was first African American SEC QB, the first prototype of the option QB, maybe the greatest ever, and I mean he's not just a great example of that style of player, heis not just one of the great Option QB archtypes, he takes it, invents it, and just plain nails it shut.

You want to talk about not knowing what it's like to win? Be a freshman at UT in 2009 having never cared much for football and become a die-hard fan through the course of that year.

That's my reality, and I don't know if I can make it through classes this week. I'm giddy like a five year old girl that just got told she's getting a pony in a week.

Another legend those of you born more recently may not have even heard of, and I seriously doubt you've ever seen him even though he still holds many records... Andy Spiva...I have never been able to find video online of him and it saddens me.
If anyone can find or put together a Spiva highlight reel that would be awesome...I mean heck we have an award named for him, but you never see his highlights together. Sadly he passed not long after getting to NFL....I think he'd have been a legend there as well....

108 in 1974
100 in 1975
134 in 1976

I'm 32 will be 33 in late October, kickin Bama's arse was an every year thing in the mid to late 90's, but Florida and Spurrier I always hated those freaking Gators and there corp of receivers who usually had some little shrimp asspuppet like Wuerrfel (who in hell can spell it?) that just threw the ball up for rain and Jackson would always some how run under it and catch it. I HATE FLORIDA WITH A PASSION! GBFO!

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: :pepper: Sorry that this was off topic of discussion but...there you go.

And beating Alabama is all that mattered.
