...the biggest win (IMO) in modern UT history happened.  And yes, I include 1998 in that.

"Testeverde's in trouble and Testeverde is going to be saaaaaaaaaaaaacked. Testeverde is sacked, aaaaaaaall the way down inside the Miami 15-yard-line..."

"Powell just comes rooooooooooooooooaring down the greensward of the Sugar Bowl..."

"Tennessee didn't just win, they dominated. When you take a football team like Miami and hold them to 7 points, you've done something defensively. This team came here to play, and brother they played..."

"That's the stuff of which great stories are written. It has been a storybook year for the orange and white."

I was too young to remember the game. But needless to say I've watched it countless times over the years with John and Bill's voices overlaid.

There was 3 couples of us......we were there 4 nights and I think I got a total of 12 hours sleep the whole time. I was sick a week after getting home.

It was worth it.

remember, Blades had "world class speed" though he was coughing in Powell's wake.
It was even better when you consider we we spotted them the 7 points and won behind a 6th year, 3rd string QB.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

I was there that night... and let me tell you, "It was a natural hole, Keith!".  That was one of the best trips of my life.
