Love the excessive celebrations. Especially the one where the cheerleaders join in on the fun in the endzone

 

[Tacoma Vol]

Wow, that brings back some memories.

"The depths of nowhere..." Sounds familiar.

First bowl since 1974, 5 years without a bowl appearance just sucked and most saturdays were not much fun. A lot of painfull losses.

Sounds like the 70's were worse than it has been recently

The stretch from about 75-82 were similar to what we're going through now.

I love those old style jerseys with the white stripes on the sleeves

Thanks for posting. I was born in the summer of 68, therefore this is the first game I remember watching on TV. I remember them showing Streater on the sideline in the fourth after he brought UT back, but Purdue scored again to win the game.

Worse in my opinion. The end of the Battles era...start of the Majors years........whoa, nelly......we lost and /or tied some real doozy's there...

Off the top of my head

North Texas State
Rutgers
Army
Duke (twice)
Vandy in 82...the Whit Taylor game


poor ole Craig Puki.........or as they would announce...Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkiiiiiiiiii

Jimmy Streater! Man,that guy could run. Had a tough time after football,though.

 

[Oskie Volum]

Just hit me why Majors is such a Dooley fan...sees a lot of himself. The situation he came into and how tough it was for him and of course the hair!!! OL majors had some great shine in that SEC frat swoop. Ha!

There are a lot of comparisons to be made.

Hey! I can't help it. It's a chemical imbalance.

I'm trying. Just thankful there is a game Saturday. Can't wait to get back into Neyland even if it is Bama.

Hope you are well. You going to any games?

 

[orangetd88]

Is that the Star Trek theme at around the 3 minute mark? LOL

So If Dooley is Majors does that make Jay Graham a future Fulmer?

Actually 4 seasons. 1975-1978. I know this because my 4 years as an undergrad was spent those four years, with no bowl games. Some of the best of the lowlights were losing to Vandy at home, losing to North Texas State at home and losing to Auburn at home 14-12 when our kicker was *short* on a 39 yard field goal on the last play of the game (after we were up 12-0). But at least we did go 7-2 against Kentucky in hoops those four years.

Here's a question...how long would Bill Battle have made it in today's climate?

Probably wouldn't have even been hired. Would we have allowed a 28 year old Bammer to become our head coach these days?
