I saw Kelly play Arena Football in Nashville. I dont think I ever saw him in a college game though. I was a little young and not into it yet. Great ball player though.

Ah, yes. 1974. The Artful Dodger's senior year. I was there. Tennessee won or tied every home game except for Bama (Bill Battle couldn't beat the Bear). It was a fine year to be a student and a fan.

There was a Stanley Morgan Jr on Nebraska at the Music City Bowl. Anyone know if he's the son of Tennessee's Stanley Morgan? His Nebraska bio says he is the son of Stanley Morgan Sr (or course) but doesn't mention if he was a football player so not a lot of light shed there.

If you are talking about from a second party.. I think you can get tickets now from vivid seats. But as far as straight from UT... No clue. Season tickets normally you can buy around April after the allotted tickets are already sold to last year's holders.
