Since The Board Seems To Be Into Trivia

[OldVol]

What was the infamous one-liner made by Steve Kiner that led to a real thumping of the then #2 ranked Vols.

What question did a reporter ask that produced the response?

What team was it?

What was the year?

And what was Steve's now infamous reply to a local sport's writer that didn't set well with the opposing team? You will be graded. :biggrin2:

 

[GAVol]

Archie WHO???? :shakehead:

 

[hatvol96]

Ole Miss.
1969.

 

[OldVol]

Archie WHO???? :shakehead:

Yes, that's part of it. But a sports writer asked a question, and Steve uttered a one liner after the Archie Who comment.

And yes, Hat, it was Ole Miss 69.

Does anyone know the response?

 

[GAVol]

I think somewhere in there he also made a reference to Ole Miss and mules. It was not good.

Final score: Ole Miss 38 - Vols Nada

Didn't we get beat something like 38-0?

You're getting very, very warm.

What was the infamous one-liner made by Steve Kiner that led to a real thumping of the then #2 ranked Vols. They're nothing but mules

What question did a reporter ask that produced the response? what about ole miss' stud horses? (paraphrased)

What team was it? Ole Miss

What was the year? 1969

And what was Steve's now infamous reply to a local sport's writer that didn't set well with the opposing team? Archie who? You will be graded. :biggrin2:

Hillbilly is very close.

A reporter, interviewing Steve the week of the game asked, "Some people say Ole Miss, with Archie Manning, has the horses to win the conference."

To which Steve replied, "Archie Who?"

And, as if that wasn't enough, he went on to say, "Some people go down on the farm and they can't tell the horses from the mules."

On game day, someone flew over the stadium at Ole Miss and dropped Archie Who? button's out.

It was a disaster. We lost 38 to zip.

My how times have changed. Try that now and a fighter jet squadron will escort you to the ground and see to it that you'd never fly again...

Alright, so somebody tell me, did Jack Reynolds really take a hacksaw to a VW beetle after a loss?

 

[OldVol]

He most certainly did saw a car a part. I can't remember the model.

Jack was a loner, didn't hang with many people and that was his way of letting off steam.

Since asking this, I have learned from someone who was around back then that yes he did. But it was a jeep, and he just cut the fenders off. Great old story, good to finally have clarification...
