Losing to LSU in 01 when they though they were a shoe in to go to the Rose bowl and play for a NC

That is one of my favorite memories.

We were in Asheville, NC for Christmas 2001 staying at the Grove Park Inn. I was wearing an LSU jacket while sitting in a rocking chair in front of the massive fire places there, when an elderly (Yea, I know - ironic me calling someone else elderly!) Tennessee fan wearing an orange jacket sat next to me. Striking up a conversation he said he was disappointed LSU had cost his beloved Vols a NC - I reminded him that we were only returning the favor from 1959. We got along well after that conversation.
