I was a student at Tennessee during that season. I knew both Mark Hovanic and Kelly Ziegler.
Both had the temperament of ‘roid rage. Not saying that they did anabolics, but they were definitely just one step away from violence. That’s the way you want your defensive front 7. 😈

Kelly dated one of my fraternity’s little sisters. She was very sweet, a little naive, and absolutely gorgeous. During parties if she was there, she’d always get hit on. (She never really talked about her boyfriend). My favorite thing to do was to walk up behind the guy hitting on her and quietly whisper in his ear “you’re hitting on Kelly Ziegler’s girlfriend.” It was hilarious to watch the dude’s reaction and then the absolute fear that would overwhelm him. She really thought most of these guys were just being nice and talking to her…😂

My absolute favorite Zeigler story was at an offseason party at our frat house, football players would be bouncers for the alcohol. 99% of the time nothing happened so they got free drinks and we got to hang out with the football team. Well, one party this guy (no clue who he was) crashed the party, he was already drunk. He asked a young lady to dance, she said no. He grabbed her shoulder before she could walk away. She screamed Let me go! Before anyone else could react, Kelly was there behind him. Kelly grabbed him by his belt and neck and just threw him backwards over his head and over the back wall of our frat house patio. The guy bounced on the grass, drunkenly jumped up and ran off, never seen by us again. The drop was about 10 feet from patio level to ground. We asked Kelly if he knew how high the dropoff was? His response was: “who cares. He was causing trouble.”
The band started playing again and it was like nothing ever happened. 😎

*And he'll open it up to the public and charge 1 day admission for $225 and $195 for children. 10% slide fee!!!




Rant incoming:

"Real money" (like I make) doesn't compute in a multi millionaires world. I'm sure Danny has a good heart but the more $$$ a person has/makes, the farther away they get from the reality of what it's like to be middle class, or lower. The life long, local, middle class fans are being pushed out for the "fast pass" elitist crowd. It's been discussed on here a lot and I get it, "big money wins championships", but it's all fan driven in one way or another. The fans saying crap like "pay the man whatever he wants!" and "back up the Brinks truck!" are the ones that put us here. The ones that hung around through the bad times, is the crowd that's either going broke giving to the University now or they've had to quit going to games altogether. To be clear, I want us to be great and win championships. I'll always support the VOLS, I'm just going to do it from home for now.

End rant

@WaywardVol I'm moving our tit-for-tat here, as to not trash up Brandon's thread no more than it already is.

Nothing I said was condescending, much less directed as a personal affront. You’d have to literally be looking to be offended. I’ve never seen such a bunch of argumentative, conflict driven posters in my life.

From a glance at your post history, it seems you enjoy wallowing in the muck with us hot-heads as much as anyone. Reality is, you just dont like anyone pushing back on your bullsh!t. "QBing a team is more than just routes on air." That comment is the very definition of condescending. And, you have the nerve to call someone else that?!?!

Whenever you make asinine comments like, "Danny White is a despicable money-grabber, who lies about waiting lists" or "I just know Danny White isn't half the AD people make him out to be"...expect people to not take it kindly. I guess that's just "pathetic homerism", though.

You seem to REALLY "take it personal" whenever everyone is not on their knees with you, slurping Tony Basillio. O Saint Wayward's claws are extra sharp for that "conflict". Yet, people are just supposed to sit back and allow you to call men like Brent Hubbs "lapdogs" and "mouthpieces".

My favorite though is when you called Heupel an "overpaid gym teacher". "Give me $9 million and I could make it work". And, you expected no one to laugh at you?!?!

Honestly it never even occurred to me to buy tickets. I dont enjoy the games live, unless its in the new big donor area....which I am not. Even then, its loud, time consuming, and hard to watch at times.

My kids are young. No way i'm taking them around a bar atmosphere. No way in hell i'm paying to take them to a bar atmosphere.

If my friend offers to take us, Ill go. But even them I usually turn it down. Life has too many commitments that are more important.

Ill spend my money on baseball, and basektball. And watch football from home.

Meanwhile ETSU has a fantastic stadium, and even has a fantastic baseball team. The doughboys, have a team...😆

I’ve been MIA for a few days due to several factors (nothing serious, mostly work related). Can someone given me a brief rundown on the Michigan punishment, or maybe lack there of, and why it affects TN? Seeing lots of posts but don’t feel like googling.

Once our sons got old enough we'd go to one game a year. My wife would get a discount for certain games from UT Medical Center, which I don't think they do anymore. Me and the boys went to the 2019 South Carolina game, for their 1st time in Neyland. We sat under the jumbotron and they both had plenty of room to stretch out. The youngest one laid down on the bleacher and took a nap in the 4th quarter. In 2021, we went as a family to the Ole Miss "mustard" game. We "sit" at the boundary of the student section, in the South end zone. It was packed and it got wild. My wife and kids were a little scared when the bottles and cans started raining down. I like that we're good and the stadium sells out, I just don't want that fire to be sucked out of Neyland Stadium because you can't get the corporate/big donor crowd to go to all the games. alabama, georgia, and florida should not be the only times Neyland is crazy.


Baseball and basketball is expensive now too. I had season tickets during Pearl's era here, but I've only been to 1 game since he left. I watch everything from home now.
