Tony Robinson is my all-time favorite to have watched in person. (I'm really sad how things turned out for him.) What do you guys think?

I remember the 84 season, my first year at school at UT. Tony Robinson Tim MCgee, Eric Swanson, and Johnnie Jones. It was a very exciting season, even though we went 7-4-1. Remember ties??? The lost to Kentucky really hurt.

Robinson threw a really pretty deep ball. Just made it look easy. I hated it when he got injured, and against AL no less.

Holloway and Streater were a lot of fun to watch too, though mostly with them running around.

The only game I went to in person before I started school at UT was the '98 game vs. Arkansas. So I would say it was Tee Martin.

I enjoy watching Manning vivisect defenses to this day. But the most fun to watch is a tie between Tee Martin and Tony Robinson.

Tee because you never knew when he'd magically turn into a darn good tailback.

Tony because you never knew when he'd uncork a 50 yard throw and permanently implant the ball in the receiver's facemask. While runnning backwards. And looking the other direction.

i wish I was old enough to have seen Condredge Holloway play. Some of his highlights are mind blowing. If I was older he would probably be my favorite but as is, I gotta go with #16.

Tony could run too! Obviously not as strong as Tee was but I was really impressed by the highlights.

Nobody in the history of UT football could hold Peyton's jock. He is hands down the best QB to ever wear the orange and white.

I've always been a fan of the intelligent QB that methodically picks the D apart and leaves the opposing D coordinator pulling out their hair.

Thus...I'll have to say Manning.

I really enjoyed watching Andy Kelly. I watched him in high school at Rhea County a few times and just knew he would be great! :thumbsup:

He was good, but would have never played QB at Rhea County if David Beard had not quit football to play golf. They ran the option until he quit! Funny how things work!

Yeah, since the question wasn't who was the best but who was our favorite, I was gonna say Holloway for the way he could pull out plays outta thin air, and Alan Cockrell because he brought our program back from the doldrums.
