Bonus points if you know who was in the photo with Neyland at 1:15. Hint: his name was familiar to every American during World War II and long after.

Go Vols!

Omar Bradley.

Omar Bradley.

Yes! Good job.

The chin is what always stands out first for me:




Neyland and Bradley were teammates on the baseball diamond. Meanwhile, Neyland and Dwight Eisenhower were teammates on the gridiron.

It was a time of living legends.

Go Vols!

Omar Bradley.

I believe he is correct ad I was reading an article that they were teammates at West Point playing baseball.

I would love to see a whole movie about Neyland’s life in theaters. His innovation alone would be worth it for a broad audience.

A Legend who died too soon. If he had only made into his 80's, Tennessee could have celebrated his life and accomplishments pre death, when Neyland might have softened and appreciated it more. He shunned the spotlight; and for a Man of his stature, that was an admirable trait.

There is a certain Bumma coach that wished he had never met him. Although there was probably a mutual respect between the two.
