Post by: volsboy on August 29, 2015, 09:27:15 EDT

They should get 100K+ for NTS just for revenge for 1975.  :wink:

I'm too young to remember the NT loss, but under the circumstances, the WYO loss didn't surprise me at all.  With Fulmer just having been fired a few days before, everyone knew the players would just phone that one in.  I had to work that day and didn't get to see the game, but when I heard the final score, I didn't even blink. 

In my lifetime, the loss that hurt the most to a team that didn't belong on the same field as us was tiger high in 96.  Win that one convincingly, and there was a good chance we could've gotten a rematch with UF for the NC.  Of course, if replay had existed then we would've won, but the margin wouldn't have been impressive enough to move up into NC contention.  If you recall, Jay Graham had a very disappointing season that year, and our rushing game was pretty much non-existent.  Fulmer seemed determined to "fix" it in that game, come hell or high water.  And he paid for it. :banghead:

I was a student at UT. When they left the field at half time, it was the first time I ever heard fans Boo the Vols .
