T Martin to Peerless Price in ‘99 Fiesta Bowl. 2016 Florida game. 1998 homecoming vs UAB. Ohio St was 1; UT was 2. Late in 2nd half Neyland announcer Bobby Denton comes on w/ “Scores of interest—Ohio State University 21…Michigan State University 24”. Neyland came UNGLUED! #VFL

Beating UF — I was watching the game with friends at my place. My best friend, in attendance, big Gator guy… after the game I decided to play "My House" by FLOrida (I think you can see the poetic justice in that).

I had played the song a TON over the course of that year so natrually he asked "can we listen to ANYTHING else?!"
I obliged.
Jumped on my coffee table right after hitting the "play" button to Rocky Top. Didn't drop a word.
You'll always be…. Home Sweet Home to me
Go Vols

I tried to do a back flip over my couch after the Georgia hail Mary. . . .I do not know how to back flip

Miracle at south bend. Went out on the field after the blocked field goal and kicked up chunks of sod. Brought them home and sold them at school for $20 a piece. Kept 1 pc in a pot for 6 months until it died. I was in middle school.

The Dobbs- Jennings touchdown v. Georgia, was holding my friends newborn baby. I forgot all sense of my immediate surroundings and stood up, holding the baby like Mufasa held Simba. Glad the kid isn’t deaf now or I would have some ‘splainin to do. @bogwink

Going way back to 1998 when Florida misses the FG and we took a step closer to the Nat’l Championship. I was in grad school and ran out on the field. Also, loved it when we beat them on my 40th bday in 2016.

Watched the UGA Hail Mary at my son’s FSU apartment with Doak Campbell Stadium in the background. We are yelling and screaming and a few minutes later, FSU loses at home on a 50+ yard FG to UNC. High to low in a few minutes.

2013…. Pig Howard dove for the endzone in the Smokey Gray unis to beat UGA in overtime only to be ruled a fumble. Went from running around the living room screaming to staring at the TV in disbelief. Best TV portrayal of @Neyland_Stadium environment since Fulmer imo. #chills

You poor 30 and under folks and your "big wins"……
Florida 1998, first game as student, was sitting in DD row 4. Got kissed my a girl I didn't know 4 hours earlier, jumped into a friends arms in celebration and nearly went over ledge, and then stormed the field.
— Nick Meals (@nickmeals) June 27, 2018
The Dobbnail Boot vs Georgia.
Was cussing up a storm after GA’s TD with 10 seconds to go. When we lined up for the Hail Mary I cussed Butch and said our odds were better to hit a long FG than a Hail Mary. 4 seconds later I was running around house screaming. 😁— Michael Heck (@michaeldheck) June 27, 2018

When Hurd(?) (maybe wolf) caught the pass in the final seconds to complete the comeback against SC, I freaked out. My gf, now wife, was sitting on my lap, and just about ended up in the floor because I jumped out of my seat so fast. I also almost cried in Neyland when we beat FL.

The day Schiano was smacked down as the possible next head coach. Stuck my UT flag in my neighbors yard. He’s an Ohio grad/fan.

98 vs. Florida. Don’t remember the celebration but I remember that I’ve never before or after wanted a team to win as bad as I did that night. I was 14 at the time.
— Jonathon (@jbell20101) June 27, 2018
UT v LSU, 2005. The hurricane game. Our apartment complex went absolutely bonkers in the courtyard after. Some guy raged out and uprooted a large bush. Things were set on fire. It was unreal.
— Alex Ñickle (@FiveCentVFL) June 27, 2018
Notre Dame in South Bend in '91 when they missed the fg. They actually let us run around on the field. Nothing will ever top it.

It was Malone’s TD against Florida. I was up in section OO suffocating my best friend to death with a bear hug after tackling him to the ground.

Eric Gordon pick-6 in OT to beat Vanderbilt in 2011. I'm a Vol fan from Pennsylvania, it was my first ever Tennessee game, we were front row and I nearly fell over onto the field. Never heard anything louder than that roar.

I ran outside my house and took a lap around the cove screaming and singing Rocky Top after the Hail Mary (God the first 5 weeks of 2016 were so much fun)

2016 GA- I was at my brothers house with his family and we were devastated over the GA Hail Mary. Then we win with a Hail Mary, and we all yelled and hugged while jumping up and down. Neighbors called because the heard us. The FL game is close because I was there for it.

Hail Mary = Crying
One that I’ll never forget because I felt so dumb since the game is irrelevant now. Bray to Justin Hunter vs Ole Miss with a tipped slant pass for an 80 yard TD. I stood up so fast and screamed so loud I pretty much passed out in GG

— Sham “Wally” Shoore (@samvfl_) June 27, 2018
It’s only because my brother played in high school with Jauan Jennings and I know him, the TD against Florida in 2016 when he HUMILIATED Tabor. I JUMPED SO HIGH THAT MY HEAD NEARLY HIT THE CEILING FAN IN MY HOUSE. Most satisfying win in my UT fandom lifetime!
— CJ Eke (@cjizzleman) June 27, 2018
Dobb nail boot!! Watching with UGA fans. Ran outside across the street and did a front flip into the neighbors yard all while spraying beer all over the place then Stone Cold two beers on said UGA buddy’s porch hahahaha

I worked hospitality/premium seating areas at a South Carolina the past two years and the UGA/TN game, during the Hail Mary I almost got fired because I yelled and jumped and was celebrating… not realizing that Carolina had fumbled at that exact moment to A&M.
— Joshua (@gotimekells) June 27, 2018
Georgia Hail Mary- almost punched my tv (LIKE HOW COULD HE GET THAT WIDE OPEN?!)
THEN…#DobbsToJennings
Tennessee Hail Mary- Screamed and cried running around my apartment like a banshee.
— Charlie Howard (@CHoward_MII) June 27, 2018
Sadly, 2012 UT vs NCState. I was leaving the GA Dome on top of the world. Everyone was singing rocky top and high fiving each other. The way Bray, CP, and Hunter played on O was incredible. I thought for sure SEC East…but, Tennessee.
— Rusty Shackleford (@BlockedByDobbs) June 27, 2018
Dunno if I saw it posted yet, didn’t want to scroll but 2003 at Miami was awesome. Broke their home win streak I believe and Jason Allen was a beast

Another more forgotten moment was when our defense forced 5 turnovers on 6 consecutive plays against Western KY in '13. Never seen anything like that.

I turned off Vols Georgia in 2016 and started played video games after Eason bomb. An hour and a half later during a break from playing I un paused the DVR and watched the ensuing Kickoff and Hail Mary. I lost complete control. There’s been bigger games that was best reaction
— buffaloblue (@buffaloblue) June 27, 2018
Probably 16 Georgia. I didn’t even get to see it though. Had to go to wedding and was getting texts from my brother what was going on. It went a text of we freakin lost to WE FREAKIN WON. Had to control myself because this was during the ceremony. I cried as the bride walked out.

Well its easy for me I was watching the Arkansas Tennessee game in 98 when Clint Stoernor fumbled I happened to be a small trailer so when I jumped I hit my head on the roof so that shows you how much adrenaline was going on because my vertical leap was never my strong point.🍊🏉

Ward narrated some of my happiest moments, including the 1998 “pandemonium reigns” game. Cooper missed his FG, and I was knocked into the lap of a large woman during the uproar. She kissed my forehead and screamed “Go VOLS,” before we all stormed the field. #goVols #JohnWard
