Dude with a tude

Am I remembering correctly that he was on the cover of SI? I found the Dude with Tude article but could not find the cover. Maybe I just remember the article pic with him holding a cone.

Edit: I am mistaken. No cover

He had so much ability. One of my favorite players of all time to watch.

You using Bomar? Sounds like the flavors we’ve got. Fantastic non-dairy options for the wife.

I was thinking that it was a cover article. After reading that article I sure wish we could get a combination like Pickens and Carter again. Also wish we had hired Kippy Brown instead of Dooley.

What year was our Offensive Line tabbed "TVA"? 1990? I was looking for that pic on Athlons or FTIT mag cover.

There was a mag cover with the big uglies on it. Want to say McRae was on it. Even mentioned by TV announcers "Tennessee Valley Authority".

Watching the 2001 Notre Dame game now. 2001 UF next.

I always thought it was running lanes (valleys) as well.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Notre Dame totally fumbled but the refs called him down. This game needs instant replay. 21-18 Vols.

Well found mention of it in a 1990 Tulsa newspaper talking about the Cotton Bowl (1989 team) but cannot find the pic. Looked at FTIT, Lindy's and Athlons. Tough google query.

Vols Weave 31-27 Cotton Bowl Webb

4th Down. Vols are going for it. Clausen on a keeper dives into the endzone for 6. 28-18. Vols are gonna vanquish Notre Dame.

1989 OL was nicknamed TVA: Fisher, Still, Davis, McCrae and Myzlinski. Big powerful and had attitudes...

Observations from watching the old highlights:

1. Play “Down the Field” more instead of “Rocky Top.” Used to play it immediately after every touchdown and I miss it.
2. Bring back the black outlines
3. Fulmer’s OL were beasts. Butch’s OL were tiny.
4. Carl Pickens may be the most talented football player we’ve ever had.
5. I miss football

Darren Miller showing off that 7.5 40 time

Was at my Granny’s who was entertaining former renters. Screamed my teenage azz off watching the ole black&white television and got a scolding...which didn’t quieten me.

I’ve been looking for this clip. I’ve told this story before but we have nothing else to do. When Jr was in HS he trained for awhile under Wilhoit. We were walking out on the field to gather all the balls that he had kicked during the drills. Wilhoit asks Jr if he had any questions. My son being just like his dad asks James “what were you thinking after you missed that extra point against Florida”. I’m sitting here thinking why TF did you ask that? Wilhoit said he went to Fulmer and said “I want on the field from any distance because I’m hitting it”. He said as soon as it left his foot he started celebrating the win. Stones

One of my favorite games ever. I remember the absolute disbelief after he missed that PAT. Then, maybe for the first time I can remember, a referee call goes in OUR favor vs FL, forcing FL to punt. My brother and I ran around the entire damn house when Wilhoit nailed that FG. Pure elation. Goosebumps every time I see that kick!
