I am a Hog fan in NW Ark and at first thought I would have to go with Red and White. After a bit of time I decided it didn’t have to be a Razorback boat and I could deal with the Color.

I was at the game in 1998 when Arkansas was ahead and I was getting ready to leave the game. My back was turned to the field as I was walking up the steps when the place suddenly erupted. Arkansas had lost the ball and UT recovered. UT went on to win the game and claimed a national championship with an undefeated season.

I had to go home to watch the replay on TV to figure out what happened. There was some conflict as to how the fumble occurred. And to be honest I really did not care as it did not matter to me if UT won or lost.

I like the colors of your boat but I would never own it in Tennessee as it smacks too much of a VOL fan. When a tax supported state university puts more emphasis on sports than on education I get more than a little upset. UT just happens to be little more than a sports program with a university attached.

But I digress. Your boat looks good and hope that you really enjoy. You may want to consider a Fresh Air Exhaust. I just got one and I am anxious to try it out as others have said it really makes a difference in the noise level of the boat.

Yeah Ryan,
That game is the first thing that pops into my mind when I think about Tennessee. We had the game won with only a couple of minutes left. It was at the point where you say just don’t fumble it!!! Clint steps back and I think the Center stepped on his foot. As he stumbled he tried to gain his balance with his hand with the ball on the ground. Of course the ball went flying out. It was tragic since the crowd was completely silenced prior to that play. 24 - 28 was the score I think. The great thing is we came back to win the next year in Fayetteville same score just reversed.

You got it right. Tennessee got very lucky. T Martin was the quarterback and his career went in the dumper after college. Payton Manning who was a much better quarterback did not win a national championship. Shows you cannot win the big with a mediocre team and a couple of super dogs. You need a well balanced team where a couple of players cannot be keyed on by opponents.

I remember the game well. I was on the end of the field where the fumbled happened. It was a drizzly cold rain and I was cold and miserable. The hogs had it won so I was leaving when the fumble happened. The crowd went wild, then berseck when TN scored. They were throwing seat cushions, cups, hats, whatever. They would have sacrificed a virgin but this is UT and there were none to be found.

WOW!

What a great looking boat!

Love your oversized trailer wheels and chrome fenders!

Looks like Fusion Speakers on the tower!

Awesome ride!

Welcome to the Tige family.

I was thinking... If you fly the stars and bars from your tower, you could name your boat the General Lee!!!

Perhaps this version is closer... I think your boat is awesome! Very cool... As Wake Havasu said, welcome to the family!
