Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I like bruce
Sure as not a window licker though
Much like Tony Vitello made me start scheduling my life around TN baseball and Kim Caldwell has now got me checking out LV's basketball games, Bruce Pearl got me hooked on TN Basketball. After we beat Texas (at TX), his 1st season, we started going to TBA to watch the VOLS. We went to most of the home games his 1st season and got season tickets the rest of the time he was our coach. Those 1st couple of years were the most fun I've had following TN basketball.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Bruce Pearl and that team he inherited (Dane Bradshaw, Chris Lofton, CJ Watson, Jujuan Smith, Andre Patterson, Major Wingate, and Stanley Asumnu.)

It funny how fondly we remember the individuals or specific teams that got us “hooked” no matter how good or bad they were…..or what happened to them.
 
I think you're talking about Backyard Burgers. It was pretty good. I hate it closed. Their black and blue burger was awesome
I've got a great story about Backyard Burgers. Back in the day, I had the chance to get in on the ground floor when Backyard Burger was started in Mississippi.

I knew the guy who came up with the idea. I thought he was nuts going up against the big boys, so I respectfully declined his offer. Big mistake on my part :cool: :cool: :cool:

Yep .... I can still remember their jersey numbers too, especially VFLs.

Same way with the 1986 Celtics, most of the 1996 Packers, and some of the 1986 Red Sox. I was in middle school when I started following Boston's sports teams.
 
I googled vintage auburn logos and got this...View attachment 720572
Is it the A with the tiger head?
Nah this

I think the same marketing must have been being done for everyone back then. Thus why this and the elephant one look so similar. And why every school with a tiger had basically the same logo at some point.
