I’m not Greg Amsler

 

[Dr H Lecter]

Yes, he did.

I saw him. He trucked several of the opponents, didn’t know to touch down the ball in the try zone and got blind sided. He was a man! One of my favorite Vols! Omar, did you play Rugby?

Actually he was slow to touch the ball down and a guy or two bounced off of him.
I did.

I will never forget him colliding with Notre dame DB Todd Lycht, Amsler sent him backwards and you could hear Rocky Top going boom!

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Yeah that guy is brilliant! Never made an incorrect assertion!

I remember when you were Greg Amsler and I was Wildorange!GBO

If you played around that time,I probably watched several of your games. My nephew played for the Rugby team during that time. Pretty impressive how the teams fought so hard during the game, then partied together that night.

I was there before and after Amsler. We managed to have a good time. It’s a hooligans game played by gentlemen.

Remember Amsler hurdling a defender vs VA in the sugar bowl. One of my favorite Vol Memories as a kid

Chuck Webb. No doubt. If he hadn’t been injured G2 of 1990, that team likely wins a NC.

Cobb wasn’t on that 1990 team, BTW. Thompson was the RB in that Sugar Bowl against UVA.

Agreed, if Webb had not been injured early in the season vs. Pacific, there’s likely some hardware on The Hill (natty, Heisman, or both).
He was the best natural running back I have ever seen in person. I was at the cotton bowl where he decimated Arky. Carl had a fantastic game as well, going both ways.
Man, those were the days. We put NFL rookies of the year both Offensive & Defensive into the league from that team (Pickens & Carter). Not many schools can lay claim to that.

Webb was on another level and had he not blown his knee out, we would still be talking about his accomplishments in the NFL.

A good buddy of played Rugby for UT and US Army. You ever heard of Bob Ball?GBO

A friend of mine played Rugby at UT and then in the Army. He was tough. Bob Ball was his name. He played rugby on every continent while in the Army.

Tough doesn’t begin to describe Bob Ball. He was before my time but was around a lot. I think he came back and played in more than 30 Old Boys matches. (Alumni return and play against the current team)
I’ve played with and against Bob. Playing with him is much much better.

We used to have Mack truck running backs, like Amsler, William Howard, and Sam Bam Henderson. i have hopes we'll see a bit of that once again, with guys like Seldon and Keith.
