Same for me. The Vols opened up the year with a loss at UCLA, then won 9 straight before the loss to Oklahoma. It was a good year.

So weird that people who were children in the 60's are in their 60's now.

Not all of us, some of us won't be 60 for awhile. Keep your GROSS generalizations to yourself.

The 1950 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 1950 college football season.

and

The 1965 Tennessee Volunteers football team (variously "Tennessee", "UT" or the "Vols") represented the University of Tennessee in the 1965 college football season.

I punched my way out a week early so I could catch the Vanderbilt game at the end of the year.

Same year for me.

 

[Volru]

1956. Bowden Wyatt. 10-1. #2 ranking (no BCS title game). Majors second in Heisman voting. A storied season all around.

I know last year sucked, but it could have been even suckier.

The only player that I could find drafted was Jerry DeLucca in the expansion draft, however, when I search on our '59 roster, I can't find him. When I click on his name in the Wiki listing from the 1959 UT team, it says he played for MTSU. Any help on this. This could probably be the worst UT year that I have seen so far...losing to Vandy and KY and no one drafted.

I could say about 100 different things in response to this that to me would be meaningful and true but could very possibly get me banned from VN and likely have Harvey Updike poisoning me in my sleep. So I won't.
