That 2001 team closed out the season strong, including a shellacking of Auburn at Jordan-Hare. As a result of 9/11, they then played Southern Miss in a must-win scenario to go bowling. One of the few recent regular seasons where the Iron Bowl was not the final game (2002 and 2003 also fit into that category).
I was present for that as well. Remember the Minnesota coach saying, "You may have been outnumbered, but you weren't outclassed," to his fans. I have hated the Gophers since then. I will always think that 2004 team may actually have had a serviceable season if not for all the injuries.

Sadly I was at the Music City Bowl against Minnesota as well.

The Music City Bowl was terrible, I had tickets in their section (good seats though), some of their fans around me were disgusting. Was a miserable and expensive trip.

Yeah, I've always wondered what would've happened with that team. Not saying we would've gone undefeated but we lost every game due to one or two plays. Brodie could've been the difference. We basically played most of the season without a passing threat.
