| Just picked up a copy of the football vault on Amazon (used) for $9 including $4 shipping.
They have also released an updated version that goes through 2008, but I figured through 2006 was a good enough start on the history. Thanks for the help. | |

| My girlfriend of several years probably knows as much, maybe more, about the rules and procedure of football as I do and she probably knows the history of some teams more thoroughly than I but thankfully she is gracious and wise enough to keep it to herself. | |

I forget what it's called. I'll get back to you on that one. Meanwhile, there's a plethora of information on the internet about UT's storied history. College Football History That's one I use a lot. | |

I've got a copy somewhere, but mine only goes up to 1972 or so. | |
