Favorite moment of my first game was James Banks scoring the game winning TD against South Carolina in OT.

Danny White...believe it or not

Yes indeed ... Danny White and Tony Dorsett for me.
I just missed Staubach. I couldn't get enough of the NFL films that featured him.

As an aside, my favorite Vol QB - Heath Shuler.
Favorite Vol RB - Reggie Cobb.
Favorite Vol Coach - why, Gruden of course.
Favorite Vol Game - too many to list, just not enough of them lately!

Favorite professional league - the USFL, I absolutely loved the USFL when I was younger. I wish it was making a comeback instead of the XFL.

(And while we're at it, I was for WCW during the Monday Night Wars!!!)

My bad on putting the swamp fox on defense. All i wanted for Christmas one year was a Dewey Warren jersey. I got Bubba Wyche instead. Thanks Dad. Put the bottle down when you call in an order.

Joe Namath
Dad got me his endorsed electric football game set. Remember those? You would spend the bulk of your time setting up your men and then you turn on the electricity and the board would shake causing the pieces to move. Most of the time in circles. Great memories of a time long gone.
