I was at that game, sitting about 4 rows up in the south endzone. Was freaking fantastic. One of the best games I ever went to see.
From my grandfather's account of the rain, I'm more than confident that 100,000 phones would be destroyed had the game been played today.
Good lord, make me feel old, why don't you. There was an ESPN sideline reporter trying to do her thing right in front of us, with an umbrella up. We were so loud the place was shaking and I have no idea what she was saying only 10 feet from me. And when our RB ran up the sideline in the pouring rain for that 60+ yard TD run (I don't remember his name, tbh), the whole place blew up. Was incredible.
1. It was ABC and Michelle TaFoya I believe. 2. Mose Phillips Those 91-93 teams are my favorite teams to collect games of.
1. 95 vols @bama, just to watch peyton walk in on the bootleg. 2. sugar vols 3. miracle at south bend. 4. 86 world cup, argentina vs. england. maradona; the hand of God and the goal of the century. 5. jordans flu game. honorable mention; i hope see the isle of mann tt one day.
For UT: 1. 1998 UT-UF game. I was there right in front of the missed FG. I can't even begin to tell you how loud than place was. 2. #1 vs. #2 UT-Memphis in the FedEx Forum. Just watching those pricks get the shock of their life would have been worth it. For other moments, I have a desire to see historically interesting and relevant events: 3. Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics. 4. Jack Johnson - Tommy Burns in 1908 in Sydney, then whisked magically to watch the mayhem in the streets from Johnson's victory. 5. 1919 World Series Honorable Mention: - Jackie Robinson's first game - Tunney vs. Dempsey in 1929 - Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling II in Yankee Stadium, 1938
Owens and Robinson were two of mine. I'll add the Miracle on Ice. For Tennessee, it's an Ernie and Bernie game and the NC game. I was there for the NC game, and given the state of the football program, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
please don't abbreviate it that way, the video-game-playing-gets tackled-by-kickers-poetry-reading dork might let it get to his head
1. '19 World Series 2. '67 Ice Bowl 3. '51 Marciano vs Louis / '52 Marciano vs Walcott 4. '82 vs AL. Majors breaks 11 gm / yr losing streak 5. '59 vs LSU *Goal-line stand GOAT
In no particular order: 87 NCAA Championship game 86 Sugar Bowl Montana to Clark - The Catch Miracle at South Bend 91 Indy 500 (again)
Non Tennessee 1. 1979 Daytona 500 - The fight between Cale and Donnie Allison 2. 1988 World Series Game 1 - Kirk Gibson's PH walk off home run 3. Miracle on Ice Tennessee related 1. 98 NC Game 2. I'd kick Vince Dooley square in the nuts so he would be unable to have any children prior to him meeting Barbara. I might even toss his ass in the time machine and send him back a few hundred years to assure my task was complete.
1. '86 Indy 500 - won by Bobby Rahal driving for Jim Trueman both of whom I knew. Jim died of cancer just weeks after. 2. 1911 Indy 500 - first one 3. Miracle on Ice 4. 1986 Sugar Bowl 5. 1998 Fiesta Bowl
The 1911 500. Fantastic idea. I hope you can take me with you since I totally forgot about that. I'd love to pick one from each decade to attend, and it would be fun to figure out which one that would be. If you get a chance, think about it and let me know. I'll see what I can come up with too.
I'll take you to 1911 if you take me to 1991. If I remember correctly Mears won after a bad crash in practice. Had to push the gas pedal with left leg. Also the year of four Andrettis in the race. One a decade, wow hard to choose in the '80s and '90s. Fittapaldi vs Al Jr, Al, Sr's fourth win, Al, jr vs Goodyear, et al.
