We won SECCGs there in 97 and 98, but then lost 6 straight games there before Friday... '01 SECCG vs LSU, '02 Peach vs Clemson, '03 Peach vs Maryland, '04 SECCG vs AU, '07 SECCG vs LSU, and '09 Peach vs Va Tech.

I'm thinking Tennessee will have another change to win in the Georgia Dome on January 1st. I think Tennessee if they go 8-4 will play a 9-3 Virginia team in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl

Yeppers, as we were walking out Friday night I remarked to dad that this was the first time since 98 I saw the VOLS win in the dome.

We should have beaten L$U in 01 and 07 for sure

And it was really the first time EVER that we played reasonably well down there. Even though we won in 97 and 98, we still looked like crap in those games.

And BTW, the dome curse isn't just reserved for football. The mens' and womens' basketball teams have laid a lot of eggs in that place, too. The Falcons can't build a new stadium fast enough to suit me.

The New stadium will have a retractable roof so probably most football games will be in the open air

Yes we owe lsu bigtime.

Also its true about not playing well in 1997 and 1998. I attended the 1997 game and my impression at the time was that we played badly in the first half and better in the second. Well as it turns out they showed the gamr here on a locsl station this summer and we sucked the whole game lol.
