And now we get to watch GA lose.

I had forgotten that Pitt beat UGA in the Sugar Bowl. I just looked at the game summary.... Ray Goff was 3/22 for 46 yards and 4 INTs lol.

Bring back Goff as Head Coach/starting QB.

Spirit Johnny would approve.

Great tribute to coach. He was a great Tennessean who will be missed.

You mean when Phil... nevermind.

You mean Brutus?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Lol, you know it didnt even dawn on me that was his championship game, I was thinking Tennessee games not Pitt but yeah I guess it was

When is the last time a man left a National Championship team to take over a losing program?

Johnny bled orange.

I watched it last night. It brought back a lot of good memories and a few tears to go with it. He was a great Coach, leader and good friend. RIP Johnny!

Why in the world pick the UVA bowl game as the Tennessee game to show as part of this? That's hardly one if his signature wins at Tennessee. The 1986 Sugar Bowl or Miracle at South Bend are easily more significant.

It probably has to do with what ESPN owns the rights to rebroadcast.

Nice picture of the view of the Tennessee River Coach Majors had from his back porch.

Man it was so much fun for so long I didn't know his brother was killed right there, also he is the best representative of Tennessee Vols ever. Saw the Bama win too.

I wanted to punch him in the face when he asked Johnny “why would you come back to a place like this?”
Head on over to Entertainment Tonight John.

When they sang over the video "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" I got emotional...Hell of a guy. RIP sir.
