I hope we can all welcome this dude back and remember the interception at Legion Field as he rolls into Neyland on the other side of things.

Charles Davis mentioned this on Doug Mathews' show today. Said he knew the great Vols fans that he knows would give Dale a huge ovation that he deserved. Also brought up the same play you did, the great pick vs Bama in '85.

That is the only Vols victory over Bama that I have witnessed in person.

Were you in the fight across the street at Tide and Tiger? :rock::rock:

 

[Hacksaw]

No doubt one of the all-time great VFLs.

No, but we were driving around in a van with the sliding door open asking all of the Bama fans if they had seen our very hammered buddy while also being rather obnoxious winners.

UT fans always dominated Birmingham, win or lose. :good!:

 

[loggervol]

Dale wasn't the fastest or the biggest but he gave his all for UT.

I always thought that if he'd been given a chance in the nfl. He'd made a name for himself.

I remember watching him play while the strike was going on and he really looked the part while playing.

I was at that game and 10 years later at the same place when we won again. A great Vol experience!

Welcome back DJ!
You are a true Vol legend...........

 

[feathersax]

Dale Jones is a prime example of VOL football. Hope fans show him appreciation Thursday night...then give Appy a BIG ORANGE thrashing! :clapping:

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

He had a couple of big plays against Miami too.

Nice. I can imagine how awesome it must have been to be at the '95 game.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

I remember Dale Jones. :salute: :hi:

Todd Upton was also a part of that team. Went to Alcoa, and now is the safety manager where I work. Really great guy.

Was at that one. Other than the birth of my son that was the greatest day of my life.

thanks VFL...:salute:

GO VOLS!

 

[BaldBiker]

I would imagine Dale will get a standing ovation. Will be disappointed otherwise. I know I will be standing for him. Great VFL.

 

[Carl Pickens]

The '85 team will forever be one of my favorites. In many ways that season was more magical to me than '98

 

[AppFan82]

If I'm not mistaken, Dale Jones is the one that brought the "Today I give my all for Appalachian State" theme to App State football. The sign is beat up now from players hitting it as they leave the locker room.

Dale definitely loves his Vols. There's no question that he's a VFL! Can't wait to be in Neyland in 4 days!
