That 1992 game was awesome. I was there. Barnhill was deafening when we completed that 20 point comeback. I loved that squad. We were written off that year after losing the Big 3, but, this game was notice to the country that we werent going anywhere. Would have the hardware with this same bunch of guys.

Would love to renew that series especially with Tubby Smith at the helm over there.

Tubby's only the second coach I've known of in my lifetime they've had I like.  The only other one was Gene Bartow.
