Memories of 1998 Tennessee game

[HurleyForHeisman]

We live in Florida. It was hot. My wife and little kids were playing in the pool. When the game ended I jumped in the deep end and screamed underwater as loud as I could for several minutes. It was the only way I could contain myself from unleashing bombs in front of the kids. Such a bitter ending. That egregiously late pass interference call after we thought the game was won. In retrospect, we asked for it by playing for a field goal when we had the ball, much like the end of the Sugar Bowl against Auburn.

Fortunately, I had tickets for the game in Ann Arbor the next week. If losing to Tennessee was the price to pay for that next game, it was worth it.

I’ve watched that game on YouTube so many times. PI call and equipment penalties aside, the play that just killed us was late in the game we were up 27-24 and we had Tenn in 3rd and long. We somehow let Tee Martin jog down the sideline for like 60 yards and then Phil Nash throws him down by his head out of bounds which adds 15 more. If we get a stop on that drive we probably win.

The ride back to Skytop with a few haughty attitudes in10-gallon hats was miserable. Love to return the misery.

I haven't been able to watch or read as much as would have liked leading up to this game... has there been much discussion about how much that game is a burr in the arse for we lifer fans? I wonder if the team or Fran get it or even think about it.

lol. I would come up for air, realize I was still distraught, and go back for more. Man was I angry.
