To add to the endless idiocy of some of our fans mocking him for that 13 yrs later,let me share a call by legendary Tennessee broadcaster, John Ward.

Ward called UT football from 1968 through 1998 and is regarded--rightfully so--as one of the finest radio pbp guys in SEC history,or period,frankly. 1991 in South Bend vs Notre Dame, Tennessee came back from a 31-7 deficit to lead late, 35-34. Notre Dame would try a short, 27 yard field goal.Ward broadcasts,"the kick is good.NO, IT IS NO GOOD,THE KICK IS NO GOOD and Tennessee wins." And proceeds to trip over his tongue.

Vol fans chuckled about it,but never held it against him.
