Yes they were

Wasn't Watson the Crossville Comet? Misnomer as don't remember him having great speed but a throwback tough tough back.

 

[VolonTyne]

Gotta love the Orange and Crimson jerseys. Would love to see that come back. Also wow the OL in four point stances. Also Jackie Walker another AA LB during that same time.

During this period of Vol FB we became known as linebacker U

Yes, he was the Crossville Comet and he had speed but was tough as nails as well.

I was there. Section VV row 10 seat 6. Those seats now are the luxury boxes. Nine years old. I love the four point stance the offensive lineman used throughout the game.

Indeed! Curt was a great Vol, Navy Blue Angel & Fed Ex pilot until retirement. Currently lives in Memphis. Went to high school with him.

Yes Curt is a great American. IIRC he trained Tom Cruise in the first Top Gun movie. I no longer keep up with movies (or that type of entertainment) so correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a signed Jack Reynolds UT helmet...Great guy.

Correct, sir! Curt took Cruise on his training flight.

Again,my condolences to you,your sister and Jeep’s family. If I remember correctly,Jeep was an offensive lineman helping open holes for the Crossville Comet to run through. Great memories!

I think Curt was the one on the controversial touchdown in the Liberty Bowl against Arkansas, so old now i can't remember.

Oops. Got Crossville families confused, Benion.

Jack Reynolds was the best linebacker that Tennessee has ever had and a carved up Volkswagon Beetle would agree 100 percent.

 

[livefaith]

Curt Watson was one of the 1st names I ever remember as a child around the TV. Steve Kiner, Curt, and my favorite #37 Conrad Graham. I literally wanted to be #37. I think that's why I liked Peerless so much as an adult.
