I'm the biggest UT fan because Ken Donahue is my 2nd cousin, everyone knew Ken, a great man and great coach. He always got dad and I tickets to Birmingham when Tennessee played Alabama. We always had to set with the Bama Coaches Wifes, Family and all those other Bama peeps, but dad and I always had our ORANGE on. Some of those peeps looked at us and thought we were crazy and always wanted to know how we got to set there with the choosen Bama clad.
My 10th grade year at Central UT was playing Bama here in KTown, I was on the field and Ken wanted me to meet Bear Bryant which I did and was an experience. They actually asked me my 10th grade year to be a preferred walk-on after I graduate, and as some of you know, but not many, I walked on at UT. Messed my knee up and broke my wrist with-in the first week I was there. That was my playing career at UT and in all football.....I was so happy when Ken came to UT but Coach M. didn't like that Ken was getting all the attention....End Of Story
