My Dad was a friend of a player's father and he knew the player as well, so he hooked me up. He also was roommates with Bill Bates one year. He had tickets for us and we went to his room in Gibbs Hall to pick them up and I was able to meet Bates.

Great Story. The stories are just as much fun as the items a lot of times.

A really cool dude once gave a much younger version of myself a really cool scholarship back in the day. Still have the plaque hanging on the wall

I have a game worn Larry Seivers jersey his sister gave me several years ago, It's cut off on the bottom and is so small it's amazing that he could wear it.

I have a UT hat signed by Jamal Lewis right after he was drafted by the Ravens. Still had some white powder residue on it. :eek:hmy:

I have a Peyton Manning autographed football with other signatures which include Terry Fair, Leonard Little and Jamal Lewis. My brother got it when he was visiting a friend at Neyland Hills apartment complex. His friend was associated to a degree with the athletic dept. at UT.

Got a football signed by Peyton in 1996.

My co-worker had a friend who was dating Peyton's roommate at the time. Forgot the roommate's name. She gave the roommate my football and had Peyton sign it. Got it back about a month later. Really classy all around.

BTW. Peyton was married here in Memphis from what I am told.

Really. I didn't know that, but it makes since considering his wife is from here. Do you know which church?

A signed photo of Peyton while at Tennessee along with a signed Broncos mini helmet. My absolute favorites though are a 1995 football schedule signed by Dewey Warren at the Red Bank, TN jubilee in the same year. My other favorites are 2 media guides. 1976 and 1977 seasons. The Battle to Majors years. My grandfather worked at Rock Tenn in Chattanooga, TN for 38 years and found them in some scrap paper there in the 90s and brought them home to me. He passed away back in November so it makes them all the more special to me.

Johnny Jones autographed football. I had it for a few years before 98, but I took it with me to Neyland in 98 vs Florida. Before the game me and some gator kids (I was 10) were playing touch football inside Thompson Bowling Arena and I ran all over them. Had Tennessee fans cheering for me around the arena. We won that day cause I kicked their a$$, or atleast I'll think we did!

Hard to tell from the picture but it is Peerless Price running away from the FSU defender after catching the pass from Tee Martin in 1998 Championship game.

It is signed by Phil Fulmer, Peerless Price, Jeff Hall, and Al Wilson.

This old "football training mask" that Johnny Majors used to wear

I breathe into it sometimes during games when I get too stressed out! It got a workout during the Georgia game!

I have a grad school buddy who's Dad used to be a sportswriter for Playboy. He was at Neyland to cover a game and Johnny Majors gave him a staff shirt.

When her Dad found out that I went to UT for my undergrad, he gave the shirt to me. Might not be worth that much money, but still pretty cool to me, I guess.

I have a signed hat from Travis Stephens, Troy Fleming and others that I was wearing when we ran into them at Logan's Roadhouse in Cool Springs. Also own a signed print from 98 signed by Tee Martin when he was at a Steve McNair event at Bridgestone Arena one year. No pics cause I'm at work
