[HuntlandVolinColo]

Bears- Jim McMahon, Walter Payton, Willie Gault....and don't forget tha fridge

Of course Willie Gault counts for the Vols too. Perhaps before you were started watching the Vols.

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

Way ahead of his time. His 47 straight games with a TD pass was astounding for that era. Even in the current pass happy NFL only one person has beaten that in almost 60 years (Drew Brees). Based on friends who actually knew him, not the nicest person in the world, probably one reason he commanded the field so well. I remember when he’d throw a TD pass he’d just turn to the sidelines and calmly walk off with no emotion. No celebration of any kind with anyone. He knew he was good.

Good points...however, no one celebrated the way they do today. Touchdown halftime shows by most players!

 

[IMALLVOL22]

Vols- Willie Gault
Dolphins- Bob Griese, Paul Warfield, Mercury Morris, Larry Csonka. Jim Kiick,

 

[Scottt5]

VOL - Haskell Stanback

Cumberland Mountain State Park was like my 2nd home while living in Crossville. My Daddy was a WWII veteran & voted for Eisenhower, which stirred up my partisan Democrat grandmother. How things change, eh?
