Kiffin game against Cal. Very frustrating performance from Crompton and the offense overall. (younger fan, been to a lot in the years since)

Sorry, but the typo in your headline made me laugh out loud in light of the ongoing thread on stadium experience in which someone said you should never sit down while in Neyland.

My first game in Neyland was, I think, in 1968. It was much smaller -- capacitywise -- in those days. It has been very cool watching it grow and evolve in the years since.

'98 Sat in G40, and subsequently my friends and I went and sat G40 every game that season no matter what my tix said for good luck. First Year at UT, literally doesn't get any better that for a first game. Was on the field instanly. Never will forget seeing my Chem lab partner that week in class. She got pinned on the fence and was therefore trampled. It was the worst bruising I have ever seen. Strectch is on the mic at the presser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FLA game in 90' when Dale Carter returned the 2nd half kickoff for a TD, and we took them behind the woodshed 45 - 3.

Tennessee 21 Army 0, 1965. September 18th to open season.

'96 home opener against UNLV. First play of game was bomb from Manning to Dustin Moore. Feel in love with the Vols immediately. Haven't missed first game of the season since (even traveled for Cal). Unfortunately will miss the NC State game this year. I guess all streaks must come to an end eventually.

My first (and only) UT game was 1992 vs Florida. I didn't have a chance to see any of the pregame festivities then, which is why I'll be trying to take in everything for the GA State game this year.

11/8/1969 Tennessee 29 South Carolina 14. I remember sitting in the bleachers in the north end zone with my dad. I'd give anything to still have him to go to the games with. Lots of great memories of games with him. So, when I think of Tennessee football I always think of dad.
