Who gave us the title Reciever University? I have always heard it, but I have no idea who started it. I know our team has the potential to deserve the title, but how many games until we know if they are acheiving this title's honor?

I've said it before, were not WR U, people made that crap up last year when we finally found a gunslinger (after years of misery with JC and MS last year).

We are a powerhouse running school. That's how we destroyed the SEC before, and how we will do it again.

Granted, yes of course we need badass receivers and a good QB to spread the ball, but running should be our first line of attack. Notwithstanding TB.

Y'all need to open your history book, first off I recommend y'all get the volnetwork video best of the big orange wide receivers. It's a older film but it will explain why we are called wide receiver U.

Second. It all started back in the 60's when Track star Richmond flowers was recruited to UT and also Johnny Mills and Lester McClain. Then from the 1970's were names like Larry Seivers and Stanly Morgan. The name took off in the 80's when track stars like Anthony Hancock, Willie Gault, Tim McGee, Thomas TD Woods, Alvin Harper. In the 90's we had Carl Pickens, Joey Kent, Marcus Nash, Peerless Price. Y'all should be young enough to remember the past 10 years of receivers.

Tennessee has been known as WR U for a long time. I think it dates back to the 80's when we had players like Willie Gault and Tim McGee

i find the tennessee passing attack being the best in the SEC during the mid 90's as humorous as the whole decade of dominance thing.
