100% Al Wilson

 

[Fightmaker]

If the VOLS we’re behind in a game and Andy Kelly was in the game you always felt like they had a chance of winning. A class guy that loved the VOLS.

He was as tough as they come too. Effin fearless.

Larry Seivers. I saw this live

Were you also there, per chance, for his phenomenal catch of the 2-pt. conversion pass that Condredge Holloway threw to defeat Clemson in 1974? I was.

I was a kid when he was playing linebacker. Was thrilled with the crowd response when he made a tackle. My most memorable and favorite player.....Craig Puki.

So glad you brought up Craig Puki! Sometimes it felt like the upper deck was going to shake apart when the PA would announce "Tackle made by Pooooki..." Sometimes joined with "Noonan, Puki, and a HOST OF VOLUNTEERS."

Peyton Manning

I didn't take an interest in football until mid-life. Lived in west Tennessee and started watching UT and even got to go to a few games. Loved the atmosphere. Moved to southern Indiana in 1996 and was absolutely thrilled when Peyton was drafted by the Colts. My husband and I would go to a couple of games in Indy every year and make a weekend of it. Cried when Peyton won his first super bowl because I was so happy for him.

Larry Sievers. Without question. Lead me toTE. That and my freshman track coach…

 

[Carl Pickens]

Half of the punters we've had deserve mention as some were the best players on our team.

Remember in the 1998 Season Fiesta Bowl when our punter stopped Warrick Dunn cold in the open field as the last line of defense? Of course, you do!

I believe that was Peter Warrick

 

[QuarterSawnVol]

Eric Berry. Gave Tennessee millennial fans someone to be proud of during the Kiffin year.

 

[legioncat]

Im sure it was Condrege Holloway

 

[swampfoxfan]

So very many but Bobby Majors is at the top.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Im sure it was Condrege Holloway

He was amazing, I've seen him completely ingulfed by a defender only to slip out and continue the play.

 

[VOLS INC.]

Shuler.
He was the QB right around the time I started understanding football as a kid.

Bobby Majors

 

[volaholic1969]

Stanley Morgan. Met him in 1976 with an assist from one Mr. Doug Atkins at the Ole Miss game. As a favor to my grandfather who handled his family's insurance he took me on the field that day. Been bleeding orange since then.

Al Wilson, when I was a little kid I played linebacker, my dad would turn on the Tennessee games and show me Al and say "thats Al Wilson hes so mean, he'll slap your mamma"

I was at Vol Walk at the Arkansas game in '98. As Al Wilson walked by, I said to my son, "Did you see Al Wilson!" The guy next to me said, "Yeah, he scared the he!! out of me!"
