I was there...one of 4 games all-time I've seen at Neyland. It was a great one - Auburn was ranked either 2nd or 1st as I recall, and I believe the final was 38-20 if no one has googled it? Just as memorable, I attended with my best friend from grade school, Glenn Thackston, and his family. Glenn was one of the biggest Vol fans ever as a kid, I would guess. Anyway, he is now Executive Producer of the Vol Radio Network show, working with Host Communications.

I am sorry to report that last year Vic & Bill's became something called "The Campus Deli." I didn't go in, so I can't report on how different it is, but it was a shock to see the sign changed. I guess Bill just couldn't do it any longer.
Say it ain't so! Add to the disappointment of the ~decade long decline of the strip...

Ahhh...Memory Lane.....

Like the '79 (?) game against Notre Dame, in Knoxville. Me working at the brand-new Red Lobster on Merchants Road. Evening shift. Boss (who was a UT alum) pulls up in back parking lot; get out of his car with a nearly empty bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand; and starts yelling "40 to 18 baby...WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!".

Funnest shift I ever worked.

Go Vols.

Well, there's an understatement. He was the Heisman front runner after that game. He was busted for drugs after the season ended and went to jail, so he couldn't be drafted. He came back during the 1987 strike year and was the starting QB for the Skins during the strike. He led the NFL in passer rating at the time the strike ended. Joe Gibbs was going to keep TRob as his starter, but Nancy Reagan, in the midst of her war on drugs campaign said that the leader of the nation's capitol team could not be a convicted drug user. So they let him go and he sank into drugs again.

No doubt he could've been an NFL QB. He could've been an NFL HOFer. He was a skinnier Vince Young, but with a better arm. Ironically, the Skins won the Super Bowl that year with Doug Williams, the man who would've backed up Tony Robinson, becoming the first black QB to win a Super Bowl. Could've been T-Rob.

Most people think that Peyton Manning is easily the best QB to ever play for Tennessee. Call me crazy, but I disagree.

That Auburn game in 1985 was one of the loudest day games ever at Neyland. And the performance by T-Rob was one of the best ever by a Vol. He was magical that day.

I think you may be thinking of Jimmy Streater. He died not to long ago.
