That was my first visit to Neyland Stadium. Holy shit - I was blown away. I became a Tennesse fan after that weekend. We were treated so well all weekend long. No shit - at the ND pep rally on Friday night, none other than Tennessee coach Johnny Majors came and spoke to the ND fans. He followed Lou Holtz. Can you imagine?
We had the game in hand but a late, furious Tennessee rally made it close. A late Tennessee TD followed by a successful onside kick gave Tennessee the ball in the final minute. The game ended on an ND INT in the endzone. ND wins, 34-29.
That ND team was simply loaded.
Have cheered for the Vols ever since.
That was just a remarkable game...the whole weekend was great
