6 (Voice over by announcer)

7 Tennessee, Halloway rolling out this way, needs a block,

8 Halloway looking, Halloway on the run, Halloway at the ten,

9 Halloway at the five, Halloway dives!

10 Give him six! Give him six large ones.

11 (Switches to a different game, same announcer)

12 Back is Kelly, the score 22-17, the dive, Touchdown!

13 Big 'Oleans in the Superdome!

14 (Start song)

15 With a voice you could hear all the way to Rocky Top

16 Play by Play for thirty one years, it never stopped

17 We heard twenty, fifteen, ten and five

18 Your voice was our eyes and we could see

19 Touchdown Tennesee.

20 (Announcer again)

21 It is Gault, pulling it down at the six, Gault, ten, fifteen,

22 Twenty, Gault outside, Gault thirty, Gault thirty-five,

23 Gault forty, Gault forty-five, fifty, forty-five, forty,

24 Yes sir, Willie Gault, ladies and gentlemen, is running

25 All the way to the state capital. Give him six.....Willie Gault!

26 Quarterback roll right. It was a long throw down field to Willie Gault.

27 For a second no one knew if it was caught.

28 We heard twenty, fifteen, ten and five

29 Your voice was our eyes and we could see

30 Touchdown Tennesee.

31 Your voice painted us a picture of all the losses and the wins

32 And it's so hard to imagine a game without your voice again

33 Saying twenty, fifteen, ten and five,

34 Your voice was our eyes and we could see

35 Touchdown Tennessee.

36 (Announcer again)

37 To the thirty-five, down to the thirty, twenty-five, twenty,

38 Fifteen, ten, He carries the ball all the way for one touchdown!

39 Phillip running through, around, over and underneath

40 Defenders for South Carolina, takes the ball all the way

41 Home for a miraculous touchdown and...

42 (Song)

43 So thank you, John. What a run, it's been fun for us all

44 Oh the way our hearts pounded when you called

45 Twenty, fifteen, ten and five

46 Your voice was our eyes and we could see

47 Touchdown Tennessee.

48 (Announcer)

49 Manning sneaks, pitches forward, falls down, as yet,

50 No whistle, Manning rolling to the right side, motions

51 To throw down into the end-zone, and it is touchdown!

52 Tennesse!

53 (Song)

54 So thank you, John...
