Great post Tommyjack! Another thing I remember vividly was the Arkansas D-lineman swinging victory towels in front of the UT student section during that Stoerner fumble series. Then came the proverbial "OH SH...!" moment when they had drop the victory towels, put on their helmets and run back out onto the field to try to stop Henry.
The difference was that Tennessee didn't give up when many other teams would have!
And for the "flag" in the Syracuse game? I've watched it many times in super slow motion. The bottom line is there was contact with the receiver BEFORE the ball arrived. And yes, I have seen refs let that go uncalled more than once. If we were lucky, it was because we had an official with enough guts and the good eyes to make the correct call. The rule doesn't specify any difference if the contact occurs 3 seconds before the ball arrives or half a second!
go VOLS! Ican smell the pigskin on those crisp late summer mornings...Or is that the smell of Jack and Coke in a plastic cup?

any of you old timers remember the orange pants at UCLA back in the 80's when we introduced Chuck Webb to college fb?
On Poll: If Tennessee decides to wear orange pants during a road game, which game should it be?

Fulmer is ranked 7th in pay in the SEC. I guess some of you think he should be 12th. I'm glad Hamilton is smart enuf not to listen 2 u.

Okay...Is the community college giving random drug tests? KNS..Is this the only picture you could find of this kid?

If the University of Tennessee would just purchase a crystal ball, Pearl and Fulmer could use it as a table centerpiece and have dinner together every night. Mike Hamilton needs to make his 2nd best pickup and get one of these things!

Tyler...Get a nice insurance policy and give the final 4 one more shot! I think u would make the difference for us to be a legit final 4 contender. i know money is nice, but this is a once in a lifetime shot. Take it from a 40 something...u can't ever go back!!

I don't think Ramar, Crews or Chism is ready for the pros. No way they get drafted! When they can consistently dominate SEC opponents, maybe. Ramar cant shoot. Chism and Crews have work to do and Bruce will make them better. Look how much better they are this year compared to last.
Tyler is a different story. He is the best player we've had in the paint since Dale Ellis, but I think he stays too. For at least 1 more year anyway. He lost his dad 6 months ago and I think Pearl and the rest of the coaching staff give him the support he needs for a while longer. He won't find that in the NBA. Not to mention, he has dreamed of being a Volunteer...I don't think he wants to leave so soon. Maybe just wishfull thinking on my part.
Speaking of Dale Ellis, has anyone heard if he will ever come back to UT? I've heard there is some resentment there on his part, but Pearl has mended many fences since taking over. Hopefully, he will get the "welcome home" he deserves in the near future.

To all the haters that consider 8 and 9 win seasons in the SEC "mediocre": YOU ARE SPOILED! What this staff has done with this young secondary is fantastic. If Coach Cut can keep us averaging 30+ ppg next year while this defense comes of age, look out!
So many hearts were broken on Saturday.
1. LSU's: Because they couldn't get a top 10 opponent to bolster their rankings.
2. Kentucky's: 23 in a row.
3. Georgia's: They just got another hob-nailed boot in the face just as the first wound was healing!
4. The Haters: Fulmer will get an extension and raise!
CPF..best winning % of all coaches with 10+ years experience, 7-1 in overtime games...Show me another coach with that kind of record in OT or close games. I will enjoy my orange kool-aid this week.
One point about this SECC. LSU has about as much to play for as Miami did in 1985. I'll paraphrase Jimmy Johnson's quote before that game. The best thing that can happen is for us to beat Tennessee by 40 and we'll only finish 2nd. LSU blew their shot at the NC, Les Miles is going to be bombarded by questions about the Michigan job....and LSU will be favored. :) I like our chances!

I recall that Tee set the "consecutive completions" record. Was that in '98 or '99? Iremember it was in Columbia, SC.
Thanks for the memories Tee!
