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

[Panthro]

Andy Kelly

 

[Capt Straight]

I’m old. Johnny Majors, my cousin

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Earliest memory was Andy Kelly but I actually remember Heath playing.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Heath Shuler, but I didn’t really start paying attention closely to college football until 1997. Starting in 1997, I was watching every game that I could every Saturday.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I remember Tee Martin was the backup.

 

[pimo1]

Would have been Daryl Dickey/Tony Robinson when I first started watching UT football around 10 years old with my uncles '84-85. But I would have to say Andy Kelley is the first QB I really was aware of and I was really as UT fan wearing the colors etc in high school '89.

Peyton

 

[VOL RN]

Most memorable - Iceman - 2003 Florida game tossing the Hail Mary before half.

 

[Capt Whiskey]

Jeff Francis - 1987

 

[volsfan199]

I'm late to the party, but my guy...

Condredge Holloway

 

[GameTime]

Dewey Warren....I remember sitting in my uncles car, listening to the game on the radio, while we were at Shoney's on Broadway eating whatever...Not a lot of games were on television then...

 

[Boston Vol]

Andy Kelly

 

[J C Higgins]

Like several others above I pre-date the QB days. Johnny Majors was tailback.

 

[lukeneyland]

 

[Vol Halen]

I was 10 years old in 1981 when I went to my first game. I remember Steve Alatorre and Alan Cockrell

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Dewey Warren

Agree.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Dewey Warren. 1967 away game at UCLA. UT lost 20-16, but I became a lifelong fan that day as my dad and I listened to the game on a small transistor radio.

Same here. Radio on the back porch. Good memories.

Swamp Rat-Dewey Warren

Steve Alatorre
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.

I remember sitting the North End Zone & seeing a folding chair being thrown either at him or Alan Cockrell as the team left the field at halftime during a lackluster game against Wichita State in the 70's & was mad that anyone would be so crazy. A lot of passion in the Vol Nation

 

[UTblood4life]

Like the story I told couple months ago of when I was grounded and my dad said only football you are watching is ut play, and that qb was Andy Kelly

 

[chuckiepoo]

Same here. Radio on the back porch. Good memories.

This right here!

 

[NorCalVol67]

I was born a Tennessee fan, so Dewey.

I have vague memories of Condredge.

Streater is my most vivid early memories.

The fact you are a vol fan after starting out during the Dooley era should win you a medal or something.
