BYE WEEK = Who was Tennessee’s quarterback when you became a Tennessee fan?

[SPBlack]

Two part answer. The first game I ever attended was Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech on October 13th, 1979. Jimmy Streater led the Vols to a 31-0 victory. I became a die hard Vol fan my freshman year on The Hill in 1986...so Jeff Francis.

I barely remember Peyton. Tee is the first one I really remember watching play. The game against SC where he set the completion record is the first one that really stands out

Me? The Artful

Me? The Artful Dodger...

First for me was Charlie Fulton in 1965. . .
until he was injured and replaced by Dewry Warren

My first game I watched (on TV, which was a very big deal back then) was the 1980 Bama game. The VOLS looked like crap, but they were my team from then on. I was 8.

--edit-- It was the ABC Game of the Week and I remember getting tired of Keith Jackson fluffing the Tide.

Charlie Daniels performed at halftime

Still my all time favorite Volunteer.

I remember him well but ole Bobby Scott was the man when I became a vol fanatic .

 

[OldandStillaVol]

I’m so old that the Vols were still running the single wing when I started following (1963). I can’t remember the tailback of that team. The first qb I remember was Art Galiffa in 1964.

 

[garry123]

I must really be old - My first memories would be of listening to games on my transistor radio. Mallon Faircloth was the QB.

 

[Grandpa4]

Still running the single wing. No quarterback. Johnny Majors.

Colquitt/Helton/Manning, but I was a Little Man Stewart fan mostly!

 

[jackaro]

Sterl the Pearl until he broke his wrist against bama then Andy Kelly. That was also the Cobb-Web offense.

 

[Shaun1985]

Heath Shuler.

 

[Dannyman]

Dewey Warren

I’ve always been a Tennessee fan but Conredge Holloway was qb when I really started paying attention to football

 

[tnvolsball]

Billy majors. I was 5 and lived in Memphis, Tennessee played Ole Miss in Memphis that year and my dad took me with him to see the game. Wasn't a great year but was the year Tennessee beat Billy Cannon. I didn't understand a lot about football then, but it was my introduction and I've been a life long fan since.
