The final home game and it's against those GATORS

The arena had 24,047 screaming fans on Tuesday night as the UF Gators came to town for the last home game. The arena will be having a face lift starting March 6th but will be ready for the next home opener....the boys in plaid were ready!!!

Peyton was on hand tonight also and spoke to the team before the game about reaching the level you want to be at. "After all these years", he said, "I believe I have personally found the answer on how to obtain my goals and there are that you have to believe in and have trust in the people around you." "No matter, if they are on the defense, offense or special teams, you have to place your trust in them." "Trust each other tonight and reach your goals!!!!"

It was also senior night and Bradshaw is the only one that won't be back next year...as the 24,000 fans stood and cheered he made the final walk......

When the team finally came on the floor to play, they made their way thru the student section and the place went nuts...and everyone sang Rocky Top to the top of their lungs....

During a media timeout, as the Spirt Squad of dancers came out on the floor to do their thing there was something different and suddenly Pat came out of the squad and started singing Rocky Top....it didn't take the fans long to join in and the place just rocked. Pat was a cheerleader along with being a basketball player for UT in her younger days......

As the assistant coaches held Pat up the crowd just continued to sing and jump in the their seats....ESPN didn't go to commercial but stayed around to watch this moment in time.....it was just unreal...it really was

Somewhere between Peyton, Coach Fulmer and Pat a basketball game broke out and the UT boys had a 17-0 run against the number 4 Gators. Passing and trusting their other player put the gator in a state of shock for about 15 minutes.

Lofton was waiting for the ball to get back to Gator end as the students let it be known that UT was back and it wasn't going to be a good night for the Gators.

Bradshaw had a great final game......at least at home that is.....March is here baby and it's tournement time in Tennesseeeeeeeeeee.

AS Smoky pointed to the exit door.....and Gator were just bait tonight as UT won by 10.....WHAT AN EVENING!!!!!!!
