Former Players

[3rdDown4What?]

Hey, you're the guy that sat next to me and borrowed my Sharpie.

Yes sir please confirm Westmoreland was there. VERY NICE DUDE

 

[1985Vols]

I told someone at the game that the only thing missing was having Fulmer and Majors meet at midfield. Either a handshake or at least a mutual endorsement of our new coach

Other former vols in attendance included some great running backs: Curt Watson Kelsy finch and Haskell Stanback

Doesn't Kelsey Finch still hold the UT record for the longest run from scrimmage? 99 yards vs. FL in the late 70's??

Westmoreland was definitely there. I also need to give a shoutout to former Vol and Miami Dolphin Scott Galyon (UT 91-94 I believe). Wife and I are expecting our first child in October, mentioned this to him and he took my ball around to all the former greats to have them sign it. Pretty special day and it will be something great to pass down to a future Volunteer.

I'm sure the line was long to meet Briscoe.........:no:

Briscoe was a pretty cool dude, I tailgated with bcarter and he was there with us for about an hour. Then ainge and Arian came for about 45 minutes and it was freaking awesome. I've met ainge a few times so I kind of already knew him bit being around foster was awesome. Seemed like a really cool laid back guy. He had a few beers and a handful of jello shots with us when he wasn't being swarmed. I was lucky enough to get a pic with him that I will post later.

Parker had dreads then and today

 

[volman45]

Yes, he was one of the ones they mentioned at the beginning. Most people didn't even know he played for the Vols. Apparently he did.

Man, I'm old. I know him as a vol but not an MMA guy.

 

[OrangeDog]

Curt Watson Kelsy finch and Haskell Stanback

WOW.................Curt Watson was one of my VERY early Vols that I followed.

Stanback was one of the first I followed in the NFL.

i LOVE these guys coming back to visit!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[berryboi24]

Did anyone get to meet Eric Berry?

Yeah, I did. I got a picture with him and spoke to him just for a quick moment. Really nice guy, I'd say he's a better person off the field than the one on. It was pretty damn cool. I'm gonna try to post the picture of it from my phone.

I hate you.....I'd give both my nuts for a Eric Berry pic or autograph

 

[sjrobert]

Waiting for Butch to mend the Majors versus Fulmer relationship

That won't happen, too much ego and pride in both of them.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Yeah....a big sacrifice there bud.

 

[GOATeric14berry]

Yeah....a big sacrifice there bud.

[TNHopeful505]

All I did was type in "cashews"

 

[Volz4lif3]

Anybody see Cooter at the game?

I'm sure there was plenty of Cooter at the game..

 

[imbubbaspitcup]

I'm sure the line was long to meet Briscoe.........:no:

Maybe it was!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Both were there. Neither interacted much with fans. Not that they should or are obligated to. Just an observation. CP was in a bright yellow and blue track suit and played camera man most of the second half.

Patterson isn't the type of person to interact much. He's energetic on the field, but from my experiences he tends to keep to himself away from the field.
