Interview with Former Vol Joe Thompson

I hope Volnation will allow me to add this link. I haven't been adding links because I want to be courteous to the Volnation staff, but I think some old time Tennessee fans might enjoy what Joe had to say.

Great post Jim. Glad you got to Joe. Thanks

That was a great radio team, Priest and Thompson.

And in that video, that was probably the ugliest UT uniforms ever, those white ones with the orange shoulder tops.

I really miss Joe Thompson's annual Dore-trashings before this game. He truly had the game in its true perspective. In honor of you, Joe...Vandy STINKS!

Joe was from Savannah, Tenn. As far as I know he is the only Vol ever from Hardin, County.

what do you mean, "I haven't been adding links because I want to be courteous to the Volnation staff?" Is there something about posting links I don't understand?

I was under the impression that forums like this would prefer not to repeatedly put links that always take you away from this site. I think the occasional post with a link is ok.

Thanks Jim,

I love the old video.

What years did we use the Orange Top Uniforms? Was it just '70 and '71? I cannot remember.

Joe spoke at Cafego's memorial service. Make sure you listen to the audio at the bottom of the page. It doesn't sound quite right without chainsaws in the background.
