Interesting article on ESPN. I vaguely remember this guy in Tempe that day.

The untold story of CFB's ultimate party crasher: Meet the fan who led the Vols onto the field for the 1998 title game

Twenty-five years ago, Vols fan J.R. Greene talked his way into leading the team onto the field for the national title game. This is his wild story.

I forgot all about that! Everyone in the room watching the game was like, “WTH is this??”

I was a little tyke at the time. Never heard this story but it’s a fascinating one.

That was unreal. Reminded me of my little brother in his younger years. He was always disappearing at music festivals and such. We would eventually see him up on the side stage standing there like he belonged. He watched the Black Crows in Atlanta that way. Special talent.

Anyone remember this guy? It is the lead article online on ESPN! And Natty Champs from 98 being honored at Neyland this Saturday. Waaaaay Cool stuff to read. Go Vols!

What a great story. Never heard it before.

Chris Fowler is still a dirtbag though

 

[Voltopia]

That right there is badass. Love it. I would wear that outfit to every damn game I could.

I know the NCAA and all the hand-wringing administrative types can never bring themselves to really tolerate or permit fun, but that is good old fashioned fun.

Seems like the kind of person that would be a regular here on Volnation. Bet he’s one of you and not telling.

 

[NewEnglanderVol]

This guy is my hero! I was a junior at the time and couldn’t afford the trip to see the glorious win in person-huge day for all Vols but especially him.

It was all I could do to get up the courage to talk to Chris Low. I'm not about to give myself away on here.

 

[pimo1]

That was an awesome article

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

He was in the MBA class the year after me. I knew him from 97-98 before his “big break.” Actually, he’s done pretty well for himself. But this is a great story.
