My parents attended the game. Unfortunately, we lost 16-0 in Neyland's last game.

Sad day. If I recall correctly the General wasn't even on the sideline due to illness. Harvey Robinson filled in and was HC in 53 and 54 before being fired.

I'll take the blame for that. I was born in 1953 and my birth shook up the natural coarse of things. Sorry!

Actually Neyland was on the sideline for that game. Sad he left with a loss on the record.
Here's a really cool YouTube link for anyone that wants to watch.
Recording is kind of shaky until about the 20 min mark.



Broadcast has none other than Lindsey Nelson...yeah that Lindsey Nelson...as play by play guy.
You can definitely tell where John Ward learned some of his style !!!
