He was a great TN Vols player in that time of NO TV time for us. Only radio.

Yep. I can remember walking around the house with the radio trying to get a clear signal. Had to actually go outside to get the Reds broadcast. Simple times...good times. Miss those good ol' days.

I knew you weren’t a devoted fan when you said… “Hope KUB wins” the other day.

Me being a smartass?
No way.

One of the downsides of having multiple teams in every sport. Puts a bigger target on your back.

Do what I do. Just wait until the championship is decided and that becomes "my team"....until next year. Life at the top is soooo good.

I honestly don’t know how impressive this is, but I’m happy for them and proud of them!

I couldn't get into the Vols until the 1970s bc no TV games until then.
We might get lucky & see them in a Bowl Game but that was pretty much it.

I remember watching on Jefferson Pilot when available or listening to John Ward. Simple days.

That was in the 1990s though wasn't it? I don't remember
who broadcast TN Vols football games in the 1980s.

ABC...and Jefferson Pilot was 80's also I believe.. late 80's.


Believe ESPN started showing lots of National games in 1980's.

When TN was playing that Notre Dame game in the late 70s me & a friend called up to New York city to ABC and asked them to put the game on down here. They laughed.

loved nc state with David Thompson. He was unbelievable back then

It’s a great story really. I think this is, what, Mad’ll know… year three of even having a team? Played one year a division lower in league two in their first year as a professional team, moved up to league one the next year, won the league the year after that. Think of it like Ryan Reynolds and Rob MacElhenney’s team if you’ve ever heard anything about Welcome to Wrexham. A quick rise to the top of the lower division.

Damn it man. We get it.

Are you sure?

Want to make sure.

You’re welcome

ESPN didn't like us back then either.

Chattanooga wussed out or it could have been more impressive.

I remember 11:40am kickoffs. That was brutal. We had to start drinking at 10am after about 4 hours of sleep.
