Back in 1985. Bo Jackson and his Auburn Tigers came to Knoxville undefeated and Ranked no. 1 This was one of the best games I have ever attended of all time. As a kid I usually had to sit up in the nose bleed section in double Q. This day however a buddy of mine somehow scored some tickets down on the 40 yard line about 20 rows back. Right from the start the Vols had Auburns number and the crowd was electrified the whole game. Even though Bo Jackson ended up wining the Heisman that year he looked more like high school freshman against the pumped up Vol defense. In fact Jackson left the game in the 3rd quarter never to return. Tennessee went on to win the SEC championshipt and DEMOLISH Maimi in the sugar bowl in a game that left the national broadcast announcers stunned and tongue tied.
When Tennessee visits Auburn today at 3:30 it will be the first time this game has been predicted to be this lopsided since that day back in 1985. Can The Vols and Eric Berry fins someway to ignite that type of emotion and play with kind of heart and surprise me and the nation and knock off the War Eagles.
