I knew Jack a little while I was at U.T. I lived in Reese Hall in room 429 as a freshman and sophomore. Jack was from Cincinnati and had a high school friend named Tom something. I can't remember his last name. Tom lived in the next room to me nearer the elevator on the same side of the hall.
Reynolds would come up occasionally and visit. This Tom guy graduated or left Reese after the 1967-68 school year, and I didn't see Reynolds after that except driving a Jeep through campus. The hacksaw incident was after the Ole Miss loss in 68 or 69, so I never saw him to ask about that. He was a wild and crazy guy though.

I know it isn't the same as meeting in person but there was a video made a few years ago with UT legends in sort of a round table discussion. It was very cool. I can't think of the name of it, though.

It is Jack Reynolds who played for the VOLS. Jim "Hacksaw" Duggan was a wrestler.

Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds played for the Vols. The nickname had something to do with a game being lost and him being mad about it. In anger he cut an abandoned car in half. As to what car it was, rumors range from a Beetle and Porche to a Bel Air. Oddly, when I was younger, I seem to recall it had something to do with a divorce settlement. But the deed is why he has the nickname, Duggan not withstanding.

Now, who would I like to meet? General Neyland, hands down.

YES! Sievers was my favorite player when I was a kid. My first Vol game was in Memphis against Miss St in the mid 70's, and I think Sievers was the only player I watched for most of the first half lol.

Johnny Majors -- although I think I might be a little overwhelmed. He was the player I most remember my Dad talking about from my earliest memories. He was our coach when I went to school at UTK. To me, he's almost larger than life. But I would love to have the chance to personally thank him for all he's done for Tennessee.

Have met him twice, he's genuine and hilarious.
