What were your single greatest and single worst moments

My best was 2007 against UK. I'm in the stands at Kentucky on my 21st birthday, sitting with my head in my hands, praying that the streak wouldn't end with Kentucky kicking to beat the Vols in OT.

...Magically, we somehow block the shot, with Eric Berry getting wrung up by the facemask. All that mattered, however, was that the streak was extended, and I was 21!

Greatest was 2001 against Florida. I remember thinking all day that no matter what, someone was coming out of the game with 2 losses. But I never once believed it would be us. Watching Travis Stephens rip run after run. Clausen had the best 136 yard performance of any QB I've ever watched play for us. That was Tennessee football at it's best IMO. Sadly a week later was the worst. I was completely gutted. I cried that entire night. I was 12 so forgive me.

worst is a tie...96 Memphis and 94 Florida. both epic failures.

best was the 90 Cotton bowl. that was the game that kind of started off the 90's with a bang, and it was the first big bowl game i got to go to. my whole family went to the game, and my dad, uncle and grandfather surprised my brother and I with the tickets for Christmas. we had originally been under the impression that it was just going to be my parents,grand parents and aunt and uncle that were able to get tickets...we were just going along for the ride....got the tickets late christmas night, still one of the best christmas presents i ever got.

the other two great moments, i guess ihave to throw 93 Bama in there, only because we didn't lose to them again ,and it was a great game to watch between 2 top 10 teams. 96 Bama is up there as well. i finally got to see us beat them in person. what a great day that was.

Best- Florida 2001

Worst- last year- Wyoming at home. I knew at that moment change was inevitable.

I think we all did, as Fulmer had been fired 5 days before the game. Seriously though, the '96 loss to Memphis was bad, but I never thought I would see the day Tennessee would field a bad enough team to lose to Wyoming AT HOME, just embarrassing. That said, I have been much more disappointed by losses in other years. I had basically written off last years team. In '01 however, I don't think a team could suffer two more devastating losses in a single season. The swing of emotion in the Georgia game was unreal, and then getting dominated by a backup QB and team we had already beaten to lose a surefire shot to play for a NC was simply heartbreaking.

Just a side note: I havent been a fan that long.

My best moment: Mayo's int in the Wisconsin endzone with 43 seconds left to seal the deal in the 07-08 Outback Bowl. The day topped off with hearing that UF lost to Michigan in the Capital One Bowl over the radio just as we were arriving at my friend's dad's house in Gainesville.

Worst Moment: The SEC championship in the same year. I couldn't believe we lost to LSwho

I dont think that was Mayo, that was Wardlow

By far the best game I attended: 98 Arky
Worst: 1a) '02 against Florida- got tix at the 11th hour, paid $100 apiece for em, rushed up to knoxville, watched the 1st half debacle in the pouring rain in a friggin $40 rain suit I "had" to buy that felt like I was in a sauna all day, left at half time, stayed at the Motel 8 on papermill, got a cheap pizza and watched the end of it on TV. :(
1b) Last yr against wyoming. sat there with my mouth hung open in free seats as wyoming celebrated on our end.

Best: 1977; UT 81, UK 79 to win the SEC - Stokely was a madhouse
Worst: 1980; Bama 27, UT 0 in pouring rain - drove 1100 miles from Vermont for this game

2001 FL game, no other game since then compared..17point underdog Beating up the gators. Coming home after the win at 1am seeing about 50 police cars with lights flashing along the road from the airport back to campus and then to see 3000+ people celebrating in the track stadium...It was crazy!

the bad news was that there was a lot of roses in the crowd..

Best: Georgia '06 I think. Like 35-0 at half and met some really nice Georgia girls shortly after that. Am I the only one who loves the little cheek tattoos that the opposing fans wear like Geogia and UF?

Worst: 2002 UF. Rained the entire weekend and I sat right on the goal line where Clausen dropped the snap three times in a row.
