Without saying your age, who was your favorite player when you first started watching football?

[northknoxvol]

Heath Shular

 

[Aerie Vol]

Brett Bartkowski
QB, Atl Falcons

 

[1972 Grad]

For UT, Andy Spiva and Greg Jones

Are you talking about the Gregg Jones (Tennessee High Bristol, who was from SW Virginia) that played with Spiva? There was another later U.T. Gregg Jones that was black.

No Walt Garrison?

Merry Christmas and Go Vols!!!!

Jack used to visit a high school buddy who lived next door to me in Reese. They were from the Cincinnati area. Jack was a much of a character as you have read about him.

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.

Did it look anything like this? I know Bubba wore #18. My mom found this when we sold her house in Paris and moved her to Southern Illinois in 2013. One of these days, I am going to get this framed. The shirt is pretty small, so the frame won't be that big, lol.
