It certainly was - lost a good chance at the SEC title, a national championship, and a possible Heisman for Grossman. That was probably our best team other than the 95-96 squads -- maybe as good as those. Of course Gator fans will point to Earnest Graham being hurt as a factor, and it was. But our defense just couldn't stop you guys -- we'll never forgive Jon Hoke, LOL. UT definitely got us that year -- of course, we gave more than we got in those days. :)
It was one of my fave games of all time...attended with Pirate, Crockett and BayVol and I believe I met you at the tailgate. I would say it's a toss up between that game and 1998 gators in Neyland, with bammer 95 being the all time fave.

And yes, on balance you gave more than you got under SOS, no doubt, but in that final four year stretch it was 2-2 with us winning Stevie's last game in the swamp.
