I went to the LSU-Tennessee game in Knoxville in 2017

This was the last time we played them. The weather was terrible, it felt like a tropical storm was passing through at halftime. And Tennessee lost the ball on the kickoff to start the second half because of the strong wind and rain. And I heard 18 Rocky Tops played that day, I was determined to keep count.
We'll probably have better luck with the weather this time, but not so much with Rocky Top, I can't do anything about that.

We were watching pieces of the scoreboard being blown into the crowd.
Then my buddy was almost carried off the side of the stadium by a wind gust.

I was there, too. Campus was dead all day. They were all very resigned to their fate. Pieces of the scoreboard flew off during that storm and hit people. It was cold and rainy.
5/10 gameday experience with 4 points coming from the LSU W

That was a wild weather game. Fun trip tho.

I was a student at UT and vividly remember our drum major being blown off the ladder as our team ran out. Bad result, but overall, one of the more fun games ever.

^only thing I remember about that game.

I was at the game with my brother in law who is a UT grad. We partied all day and were hammered by game time!!! The tailgating from UT fans was lame. I brought the party to UTK with a tv and dj booth set up! Was one of the most fun away games I’ve ever been to. We loved the tropical storm!

Such a weird weekend between the Butch firing and that storm front rolling through. LSU fans took over Calhoun’s On The River.
Pouring water out of my boots at halftime was amusing. The temps dropping 20-30 degrees post-storm and facing imminent hypothermia if we couldn’t snag an Uber was not.

I was there in 2001 when Kelley Washington, a third string WR put up like 11 catches for 256 yards and 2 TDs. Donte Stallworth was injured and didn’t play in that game.

I went to 2 of the last 3 times we played Tenner. One was the last time in TS, and we all remember that. All I'll say is that Jordan was a great older brother to Justin. 
I was then in Knoxville in 2011, and we beat the shite out of them. Good times.
All in all, the "best of times" was when we beat them in 2001, winning the SEC and bursting onto the scene. Lsu football was here to stay!

The weather was beautiful until half time. Then it was a damn tropical storm for like an hour.

Was there with all 4 kids. Was cold rainy and windy. We spent 5 more days in Gatlinburg after the game. Great vacation and memories.

All I remember was it was cold as shite with that wind. everyone in the stadium was trying to huddle in the corridor to wait out the rain so we ended up moving as close to the field as we could while the UTk fans left the stadium. Cleared out moreso than Tiger Stadium in the second half!
Eta stayed in Gatlinburg too. It was 12 degrees the next morning or day after there. Remember our whole deck was iced over in the morning

My wife was pissed when she found out how much I paid for tickets until we were sitting high and dry while the folks in the upper deck were getting soaked

I was there too. Good ole Brady Hoke was their interim I believe. I was sitting nice and comfortable under their upper deck as the people in front of us ran for the exits when the monsoon hit. Good times

I was at that game too…that’s definitely one I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I was in the upper deck and that is absolutely the worst weather I have sat through during a game. If I remember right, the goal posts actually blew down during the game. Raining so hard the players couldn’t see the ball. Temp went from comfortable to freezing cold during the course of the game.

I was there as well. It was a cold boring dead campus to tailgate.
Game was a blast, even with the weather. Would definitely go back.

There with my three boys. Only SEC game we’ve ever gotten to see all together. The Vandy game in Nashville was put on a weather delay and as the second half was supposed to get started the refs asked Orgeron and Hoke if they wanted to play or delay. Both coaches basically said F it, play ball. Absolutely the craziest weather I’ve ever seen at a football game.

Was there. Left the game early due to the weather, it was a blowout anyway tenn wasn’t very good that year. Found a country bar downtown called Wagon Wheel after and had a hell of a time. I do agree, Rocky top is the worst. Even worse than the cowbells in Starkville. They played the shite out of it in every bar
Then the next day our flight out wasn’t until 5pm so we watched the whole saints-redskins game at a bar downtown in which the saints had a crazy comeback win. Good times

I was there with two buddies. Drove up and stayed in Nashville for a night then Knoxville for two. Had a great time. Etling’s keeper fooled the entire stadium. Monsoon was wild. Good times!
Side note: Etling threw for 81 yards and we won 30–10
