Fifty Years Ago Today

Beginning of my junior year. WHOLE family at the first night game at Neyland. Grandmother at 88, aunts,uncles, and parents. Great date with a cute girl and a double date with an old teammate. Ending up with a UT buwhip of another northern media darling. Great times indeed! We are blessed to be Volunteers

My sophomore year & I was there. My dorm was the 2nd floor Carrick Hall in the Presidential Complex. A roast beef hoagie and can Coke at Sam and Andy's on the strip was $1.05 including tax.

Those steamed hoagies were/are unbeatable!

I was there and it was one of the best games played that year. If I recall correctly, we played them the next season late in the year in Knoxville and beat them again. They have refused to plays us again in Knoxville.

Actually I think it was the season before and beat the by 20 or so!

Remember it like yesterday. Penn St had Franco Harris and Lydell Michell. Crazy good tandem in the backfield.

That was the '71 game.

I was there, moving in Hess Hall to start my freshman year...

Reese Hall for me. Great night to be a VOL.

I wasn’t there and don’t remember any of it. I was prolly in the backyard burning some ants with a magnifying glass.

Pretty hard to do after sunset.

I just assumed you weren’t in Antarctica because:
1. That’s the only place on earth where there could possibly be 24 hours of daylight in September.
2. There aren’t a lot of backyards or ants in Antarctica.

Wrong…you can go back to sleep now. Damn this world is full of Karens. It was fodder slick.
