Who is the most intense Vol you have seen play?

[hixsonvol]

Exactly - if you need a reminder watch the opening defensive series against UCLA in 97. They were barking at Cade and Skip Hicks. It was vicious, game was over.

Any idea if the game is online to watch somewhere?

 

[IBlvNTmWrk]

In order... Hacksaw Reynolds, Al Wilson, Dane Bradshaw (one for each generation)

 

[Eberry]

YouTube - Al Wilson and Leonard Little

You know when a DE/LB is #1... You should be scared.

[champyvol]

2) Leonard Little

al wilson not even close.

 

[BeecherVol]

Al Wilson is obvious.

 

[DaytonVol]

AL!!!!

 

[rockytophigh]

can someone find us some Hacksaw to watch????

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Al Wilson is who I thought of, and I saw Reynolds play for us.

I'm racking my brain to think of any other ones from back in the day, but 1) we didn't have as good sideline/close-up TV coverage back then, and 2) I don't think the coaches gave as much latitude for showing individual style and flair 40 yrs ago, so individual personalities we fans didn't hear as much about.

 

[utmba93]

Yep, it was Al.

 

[UTvol1fn]

Big John Henderson

1. Big Al Wilson

2. Bill Duff/Leonard Little

3. Bill Duff/Leonard Litte

For me, it's those guys. I couldn't put Leonard and Bill in front of each other because I loved watching those guys play.

 

[DMG]

I can only speak to who I've seen so, I'll say Al Wilson too.
Maybe I should look up this Hacksaw guy though. Sounds like a bad SOB.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Jack Reynolds was also a long time Los Angeles Ram.

 

[utmba93]

al wilson needs to be on this coaching staff.jmho

If he was, I don't think Dooley would ever feel the need to smack anybody.

 

[trevols81]

Wilson or White. You can't go wrong with either.

 

[Flatliner]

1. Hacksaw Reynolds

3. Raynoch Thompson
4. Greg Amsler


Hacksaw Reynolds

Reynolds earned his nickname in 1969 by cutting an abandoned 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air in half with a hacksaw after his previously unbeaten University of Tennessee team returned from an embarrassing 38-0 road loss to Ole Miss. "I came back to school and I was very upset," Reynolds said. "I had to do something to relieve my frustration." He decided to turn the abandoned car into a trailer for his newly purchased Jeep. After working through the night on the project, chewing through 13 hacksaw blades, he returned the next day with some teammates to show off his handiwork. However, when they arrived, both halves of the car were gone. For the remainder of his career, the nickname stuck.

I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned Dale Jones.
