Question for the older fans.

[Dallasbowlin]

The internet has been a dead end for me. What awards, if any, did James Berry win while at Tennessee? Would've been the 1978-1981 seasons. Thanks, and Go Vols!

And btw, calling you the “older fans” isn't an insult. Just means you're more wiser!

Nothing National or league wise unless it was possibly scholastic.

Could have won something at a team banquet I guess.

 

[onevol74]

I do not remember him earning any rewards. Neither did Daniels, who he shared the backfield with. Both were highly rated recruits.

 

[utvolpj]

Not sure on awards but he lettered 4 yrs and was a team captain. UT's leading rusher for 2 seasons (80, 81) and #19 on the all-time list.

(From a post I made in 09 so may be slightly dated)

I don't remember anything either.............I was a Freshman - Junior in college during that time, and when I say I don't remember anything.................

Did they have participation awards or perfect attendance awards back then?

Nah man 43 is old as hell. May as well apply for Social Security and start eating at Long John Silver with you AARP discount.

Ya old bastard.

Wish i could afford an AARP discount.

 

[greenbacknative]

And you still don't have the answer ! what have you been doing since 1979 ? LOL

 

[UTblood4life]

EB14 was the jewel of the family and a freak athlete
Evan was one of the best returners we ever had had

This sounds like a job for peaygolf.

If there were, nobody heard about them.


I do not recall James winning any awards. I d remember as a freshman, he and Hubert Simpson were taking away reps from a couple of upper classmen. And I seem to remember (somebody correct me if I am wrong) one of them was named Frank Fox or Foxx. Of course, this was still early in Johnny Majors tenure, and there was still much to do in the rebuild. But it was still a good time to be a Vol's fan.

Edit: I just checked the past roster. The 2 upper class RBs were Frank Foxx, and Kelsey Finch.

No you don’t. My medicines have gone up since they have gotten into the business.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I guess I qualify as an “older fan”. I’m 66. I don’t remember him winning an award. But he was a solid player.

 

[IndianaVol]

19 touchdowns and 2000+ all purpose yards.
Solid dude from the stats - I would have taken him on any of the past few years' squads.

 

[Mustng959]

Well I was 19 in 1978 so I guess I'm an older fan. However I was in the US Air Force from 1978 to 1984 and was overseas so I missed a lot of what was happening with the Vols . Even missed getting to see my Dad ride the Tennessee Walking Horse at the Georgia Tech game in 1979.

 

[Jeff Clark]

James Berry was a solid running back on the 8-4 1981 Tennessee football team but he never won any awards.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

I'm just checking to see how old everyone is so I can know how old i need to feel...‍♂

Those of us in our 40s are in our prime! (or that’s what I tell myself anyway) lol
