LSU Game In 1926 Was Neyland's Signature Win

[Volfan1000]

Great story by News Sentinel writer Adam Sparks on the front page of today's edition of the Knoxville New Sentinel about the 14-7 win in Baton Rouge.

General Neyland's first win at Tennessee was a 12-7 win over Georgia on October 31st 1925 standing in for a sick M.B. Banks.

Prior to 2000, we actually had a very favorable history with LSU.

My dad is 81, and he still says that his all time favorite regular season Tennessee victory was the 14-13 win over LSU in 1959. LSU was ranked #1, and on a 19 game winning streak. That was LSU's 8th game of the '59 season and they had only allowed 9 points going into that game.

1926 win over LSU by Neyland may have been huge (I have no idea how prominent LSU was back then), but it was the win over Bama in 1926 that made Neyland and put UT on the map. As I read endlessly in columns by Ben Byrd of the Knoxville Journal back in the 80s.

The 0-0 Tie with Kentucky in 1928 cost them a Rose Bowl matchup with Roy Riegels and California.

Blue font is for sarcasm. No color has been defined for absurdity.
