Title: Oh, BTW- 30 years ago tonight
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 02, 2016, 12:20:00 EST
...the biggest win (IMO) in modern UT history happened.  And yes, I include 1998 in that. :powert:

"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. :biggrin:

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.

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.
