RIP Reggie Cobb

[NorCalVol67]

Oh man, that sucks.

 

[DC_Vol]

Was about to post this. One of my favorite runs. Love the block down field (by Chales McCrae maybe?).

Yup, that was Charles McRae. We need more like him on our line.

AWFUL NEWS!!! Dang Reggie!! You left us tooooo soon! What a Vol RB!! Sad day.

 

[BACKDOC]

OMG, that unfolded right in front of me, I was sitting in that endzone, on that side.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Yup, that was Charles McRae. We need more like him on our line.

Hopefully those two freshman 5 Stars we just got will pan out. RIP Reggie. Loved the Cobb-Webb!

His first year was 1987

He must’ve missed the 1987-1989 seasons as well

 

[fifties fan]

Really bummed.

 

[Roustabout]

Damn, my classmates are dying.

 

[ALLVOL24/7/365]

Terrible loss, my sympathies go out to his family. This is of course a huge loss to the VolNation family as well. Rest in peace Reggie.

RIP..Enjoyed watching him play.Still recall the Auburn game that he ran wild in.

One of our best ever! RIP Reggie

I just read this and am heartbroken. He was a baller! Loved the Cobb-Webb combo.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Yup, that was Charles McRae. We need more like him on our line.

Everyone remembers the McRae block on that play but also look at what the FB (Poles?) does to their OLB... We played big boy, road grader, smash mouth ball that year and served pancakes for dinner. Cobb had 225 yards rushing that day and Webb had 118.

I really hate to hear about this... he was way too young. Prayers for the family. RIP.

Boy, I sure miss that OL blocking like we had back in the day!! How many pancake blocks have we had in past 2 years? Count them on one hand I imagine.

 

[timmessee]

Prayers for his family.

 

[Kinglberry]

Watching that video makes me really miss the I formation. He was such a beautiful runner.

 

[Grudenator]

Didn’t realize he was a scout now. He played before my time but glad I got to know about him. Prayers and thoughts to him and his family.

 

[JacketVol]

I am just really sad. Reggie and Webb were so much fun. Just can’t stand seeing this today. Prayers to his family.

OMG, that unfolded right in front of me, I was sitting in that endzone, on that side.

Same here! Awesome to watch. Ran on to the field after that game. This is very sad news. Prayers for his family.

 

[Smokey X]

Me too...was in Y8 ....he ran straight at us

Reggie was a full grown F'n man when he was as UT.

The first bad ass RB I ever saw at UT.

A man learns as he gets older that its important to live a life to be proud of.

I'd sure be happy to know I shined at UT,then played in the NFL,and after that was fortunate enough to be a coach.

Hell of a life Reggie.

Rest in peace.

 

[SweetDaddy]

Us old hands remember Reggie's vices though and one cant help but think about that when you see what he died from and at a younger than normal age.

 

[amavol2]

Sad to hear, Tennessee would be well off if they had another Reggi Cobb!!

 

[Mccage]

My favorite!! Prayers for his family!
