Tony White inducted into Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame

[Freak]

John Ward's call of Tony's record-setting 51-point game was magical.

"White for a record. Did he make it? (crowd roars) Tennessee, one hundred three, Auburn 84. Tony White 51 points!"

Wizard….well deserved!

Back when I was a kid, White was the guy I pretended to be while draining three-pointers on my nerf hoop. lol. He was such a fun player to watch.

Fantastic. One of my all time favorite Vols. I was fortunate that my first two years on the Hill were his Junior and Senior years.

Man, he and Dyron were fun to watch.

Man, I finger-rolled 100’s of nerf baskets listening to games…wanting to be just like him.

Shouldn’t have taken this long. I’d put him on our men’s basketball Mt. Rushmore.

Bernard, Ernie, Dale Ellis and The Wizard ? Maybe Houston, Lofton and Grant as honorable mention

Good with that.

 

[SNAFU]

That roster was fun to watch

Willie Burton, Fred Jenkins, Dan Federmann, Tyrone Beaman… great UT names/ players from that era.

Michael Brooks!!!!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Michael Brooks!!!!

Memphis needs to deliver these guards to Knoxville more often than once about every 15 years. Michael Brooks. Tony Harris. Kennedy Chandler. 3 of UT’s greatest ever on the perimeter. Kentucky isn’t too shabby either. Rodney Woods. Allan Houston. Chris Lofton.

That’s hilarious! I did the exact same thing!

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

TV never mentioned Tony. We hear about R A Dickey though- and deservedly so. But Tony White's BB contributions were enormous.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Well deserved!!...I had a class with him back in those days...Really nice guy and fantastic ball player!...Very happy for him!
