What was the first Vols Football game you attended

[Chickenfarmer]

I believe my first game was October 2, 1982 versus Washington State Cougars. Vols won 10-0. I was 11 at the time. I think ticket price was $8.00 from a scalper outside Neyland. Oh, how times have changed.

1971 - I was 6 years old when my Dad took me to my first game. We beat # 5 ranked Auburn that day 35 - 20. I was hooked from that day on.

The first game of 1970, when I started college at UT.

I also attended the Orange and White game in 1969 because I had a friend on the team.

In 1979 at the age of 14, I attended the game with Rutgers 13 Tennessee 7. I got to go with my uncle's ticket since he didn't wan't to go see lowly Rutgers. Because of the pathetic performance against Rutgers, my uncle didn't want to go see Notre Dame beat the crap out of Tennessee so I got to go the next week to see Tennessee beat Notre Dame 40-18. I was hooked after that.

I think it was homecoming 1994. We got tix on the street for like $20 for the pair because it was already halftime. After that I didn't attend another until the 98 season when I was at every home game plus the SECCG. The Vols have never lost a game that I attended, including men's hoops.
The other side of that is, the Lady Vols have lost every game I attended.

That was my first game too. SMU. We won 28-3 I believe. Lester McClain scored on a fumble recovery.

Young pups! 1960 Alabama as a 5 year old. Sat by an Alabama fan and grabbed his hands when he started clapping when Bama scored. Scolded by my mom but he laughed it off!

It was at Vandy. My Midget team took us there. Like 1970. Vols won.

We got section T row 20 for 12 bucks a piece. Even in 1989 that was crazy low.
