Bo Jackson and AU came to Neyland in the mid '80s, ranked #1 in the country, and we beat that ?

The Tennessee Waltz! I remember him taking himself out of the games to escape further punishment. And that is what it was that day, pure intense, physical punishment.

First game I attended as a freshman there. Top 10 experience for me all time as a Vol fan.

Brings tears to an Old man's eyes. Miami in the Suger Bowl is my best memory, no wait Penn State in the first night game at Neyland on ABC, oh well so many. Here is to fresh new memories.

I was there, Tennessee's D hit him in the mouth early and he went to the bench for a lot of the game.
