Was there a VFL in the Super Bowl last night?

[NighthawkVol]

At one time, there was a streak of Vols playing in Super Bowls. Don't remember exactly what it was.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

We didn't have anybody this year. I think that snapped an 11 year streak.

One Tennessee kid who didn’t choose the Vols beating another Tennessee kid who didn’t choose the Vols.

UGA and LSU are tied for the longest streak at 21 years.

Sad state of affairs.

The Gators definitely represented last night. Dummy.

Yes Vernon Hargreaves really made an impression by celebrating on the field while he was inactive and in street clothes giving me Bengals an unsportsmanlike penalty. What a joke.

i think daniel bituli is on the practice team if that means anything

The super bowl was last night?

 

[jeff1vol]

We had a string of almost 30 consecutive years with at least one player in the SB. It was broken a couple of years ago. It was a record streak amongst all schools.

We did get cameos pregame by Peyton, Forrest Gump clip, and the Dolly ad FWIW

There were two former Tennessee boys playing in the Super Bowl game but neither chose to play for Tennessee..........One played for Clemson and the other for Ohio State. Tee Higgins and Von Bell !!!! Let's face facts. If we do not start competing with the likes of Georgia, Alabama and Auburn we will never keep these players for the Vols !!!

You might want to call out Saturday Down South then. They said Nebraska had the longest streak at 26 years.

Georgia, LSU hold longest-active Super Bowl streaks

Well it easily coulda been the Niners vs. KC, then there woulda been a few Vols in that.

But it wasn't. UT curse? Asking for a friend.

Jerod Mayo was in a SB commercial. Does that count?

 

[Volizona]

I think Fulmer might have been calling some of the Rams plays last night with all of those runs up the middle.

There were at least 4.

Tee Higgins-Oak Ridge/Clemson
Jalen Ramsey-Nashville/FSU
Vonn Bell-Chattanooga/Ohio State
Van Jefferson-Brentwood/Ole Miss/Florida

[BigOrangeTrain]

Sad state of affairs.

Of course it is to you

Active roster is just people who are eligible to go into the game.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Not a player but Jacques McClendon is director of football affairs for the Rams

 

[TNinSC]

Active roster is just people who are eligible to go into the game.
