Make this an annual event! Get Tennessee, VTech, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, & Virginia to rotate as the teams involved. Make it a Week 0 opening game, like the game in Ireland
I’m all for having games here more often, but as someone from Bristol, UT and VT are THE teams here. I don’t think any other pairing would be nearly as successful
I'm from Johnson City, just down the road from Bristol. I'm not a fan of the either team but I couldn't miss this one. Such a great game and event in general. FYI another reason they used Bristol is its divided by State St almost in the middle. Half in TN half in VA.
Not trying to be discouraging or appear as a hater, but he really needs to work on his narration. Every sentence has the same tone pattern: start high, make it sound a question, and then go to a low tone that almost sounds like he’s not even interested in his own script. I hope he tries to add more of his personality to videos like this.
Great video but you should’ve mentioned Virginia Tech G Wyatt Teller getting 2 cut blocking penalties in a row. It killed all of Tech’s momentum after going up 14-0

Yep beat both Florida and uga only to not win it. The wheels were coming off after Hurd took that hit against uga and was done with butch's shit. Really I don't blame him
8:56 This game completely changed when Wyatt Teller got flagged for back to back unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and the Hokies never got back on track the rest of the game.
We travelled from nashville for this game and its still the most insane game ive ever been to. The stadium was so huge i felt like i was in a city of football.
My dad and I got to go to this game! As soon as Michael Vick got on the jumbotron, we, along with all the other vol fans, booed him out of there. One fan next to us yelled "Keep him away from Smokey!"
Think this was INSANE? Think about this. Alabama and auburn playing the Iron Bowl at,get ready, TALLADEGA RACEWAY "Dega"is more than twice the size of Bristol. and almost exactly the same distance from both Alabama and Auburn. Talladega seats 90,000 after Allison Stands torn down. But they can get over 200,00 fans with temp seats down back stretch. Then jam up infield with super sized screens and more fans., S.E.C. has got to pull this off. 200,000 beer fueled fans,100,000 not liking the other 100,000 one tiny bit. Thanksgiving weekend, world's largest R V Park and Campground, thousands of fried turkeys, B B Q, 5 days and nights of total mayhem, one huge Jesus Revival on Sunday, Kenny and Jason in concert, passing the hats for Wounded Warrior, U.S.O.,and T to T. Saint Nick with the coin toss, I am not a fan of either but I sure as "hell yeah" will be there I'll drive down from Jersey with my Pop up.6 coolers of ice cold beer.a case of M.R.E.';s ready to War Dam Eagle,and Roll Tide Roll with the best of them. Of course I would be wearing orange and Blue.That kick six play is still in my head.I watch replays every week.on you tube. That S.E.C. Kingdom has GOT to pull this off.
@@EmbracetheGrind Absolutely brother. welcome to road trip it.Got that pop up.

This has got to happen..
I randomly think about this game once a year
Same. A weird game, but in a good way
I do too im not even a fan of either team
Same
same
I would like to have this as a rivalry and have a Colosseum Trophy as a reward.
Also if VT haven't reused them since, they need to bring back these hokie stone unis back, shit goes hard.
@@CiviGG Vol fan here and I gotta agree!
The logistics of this game was just incredible
It’s absolutely ridiculous how they pulled this off

Nah imagine Bama or UGA vs OSU or UM!

Then u do it it will suck
I absolutely agree
I am so glad TN won the first battle and I do hope we get more battles in the future!!!
we got the mlb coming to bristol next year :)
as a tech fan this is still one of the most fun games i’ve watched
3:01 there were no Washington Commanders in 1961
They're still the Redskins as far as I'm concerned.
Exactly
It’s because ppl will sue him if he says redskins
Glad you got the issues taken care of. Another great video brother thanks
It was impressive the big Bruton Smith was able to do it
I live in Johnson city and didn’t know this happened
Jerod Evans was so good. he shoulda stayed in school his senior year
Keep up the good work ❤
Darrell Taylor’s quote before this game was iconic
It’s Bristol baby!
I was there
I wish they’d do this more often
I was at this game, special memory for sure.
Would be cool if Kentucky had Tennessee played a game here
I think it would be better if two teams that could match up well against each other played. Tennessee would obviously beat Kentucky they always do.
Iron ball here would be sick and I hate both Alabama and Auburn lol
I was there boiii go vols
Great video but you should’ve mentioned Virginia Tech G Wyatt Teller getting 2 cut blocking penalties in a row. It killed all of Tech’s momentum after going up 14-0
This was such a time to be alive as a CFB fan
I got to march in the game following the Battle of Bristol, it was surreal experience to march in a racetrack!
i was in middle school and worked this game and was able to get in for free after and jus wow.. i still remember the expierence like it was yesterday.
Shout out Jennings, my high schools best NFL alum!
Dobbs was something different at Tennessee, such an aggressive runner and a brilliant offensive mind.
Imagine a national championship game at Bristol
I was at this game lmao. Have a big panorama of it in my room
Was at this game, it was cool.
I'm just glad to love the team that smoked the piss out of VT in the largest football game ever! GBO!!!
Love hate memories lol. Game was awesome, my undying hope in Coach Brick by Brick took a while to get over. Our coach now seems to be Mr Right 😂 VFL

The year Tennessee should've won the East, but a Butch Jones led team can only go so far. Had so much talent and didn't know what to do with it.
He could out recruit anyone... Couldn't quite push them far enough
Yep beat both Florida and uga only to not win it. The wheels were coming off after Hurd took that hit against uga and was done with butch's shit. Really I don't blame him
Would be awesome if they ran a race during the game
I can assure you, they ran out of beer in the middle of the 2nd quarter.
I remember seeing Kamara for the first time an thinking he was going to be a stud
This was the coolest football game ever. I hate that it hasn't been done again.
I went to this game & college game day!
8:56 This game completely changed when Wyatt Teller got flagged for back to back unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and the Hokies never got back on track the rest of the game.
I catered for for the media pregame and got to walk around the track during the game. It's a memory I'll never forget!
I actually went to this game, and I have the stuff on my wall to prove it.
I was there that night. The greatest game ever played.
Why don't Virginia tech and Tennessee more often in college football
We travelled from nashville for this game and its still the most insane game ive ever been to. The stadium was so huge i felt like i was in a city of football.
Wait, there wasn’t already technology at BMS for instant replay? NASCAR is so dirty.
its crazy these two dont play eachother...like at all
Bristol native, wish there were more games here 😢
I live in Bristol
Would love a video on the rise of D2 Ferris State.
As a hokies fan I did not understand all the fumbles. It mad me so mad we had momentum in such a big stage and just lose the ball in key moments
I was there!!! GBO 🍊
The Redskins played there not the commies 😊
I live right in the middle of these 2 schools. 2 1/2 for me to get to each school so for my area this was a huge deal.
Can you cover Western Michigan
It's the Washington Redskins
GoVolsGo
3:04 there was no “Washington Commanders” back then
Only commanders can say that word.
My dad and I got to go to this game! As soon as Michael Vick got on the jumbotron, we, along with all the other vol fans, booed him out of there. One fan next to us yelled "Keep him away from Smokey!"
Was that same fan barking? Because that might have been me 😭
@@grbhighlights9401 shit, it might've been!

Your rude, Vick is a legend. And you will never amount to anything close to what he has accomplished. Your a bum just like your father

Why play again? VT can't pour pi$$ out of a boot. You really want to watch this now? Bad idea unless you can get someone else to play Tennessee.
In 1961 that was no such thing as the washington commanders 🤡
It really wasn't that insane
Ah it was the Washington Redskins!!!still is and will always be the Redskins!! Quit with the political bull shit
Terrible venue for a football game.
