Seen it. Brings back memories of my childhood when I was just beginning to follow the Vols. I got to see the Chattanooga and South Carolina games in person that season. U. T.'s only regular season loss that year was to Ole Miss & "Archie Who".

After rewatching this video, I found it interesting how Doug Dickey was so completely whitewashed out. He was not even mentioned or shown anywhere. If one didn't know better you would have thought Bill Battle was the head coach that season.

Kiner, Reynolds, and Walker. Best linebacking crew ever.

Thanks for posting. Takes me back to my youth and the Vols that I first followed.

Sadly the defense faded against Ole Miss,Kentucky and Vanderbilt. UT should have beaten Florida in the Gator Bowl.

That brings back a boatload of memories for me, because I was a student at U.T. then, and saw every home game. The keys in those days were tremendous blocking, determined running, timely passing, and a tough, opportunistic defense. I hope those qualities are coming back.

I really appreciate the post. It's tough nowadays to see anybody that had the mindset to play and just try to win! I evolved as a youngster during the early 70's and had great moments and memories of the Doug Dickey Show. Maybe somewhere in the quagmire of the current world of sports we can get back to old fashion football and spirit and the pride of your home state!! GBO!! Thank you Peyton Manning! :lolabove:

I spent many a sunny autumn Saturday listening to the legendary John Ward and Bill Anderson call UT football games. John always made the the Vol Network listeners feel as though they were in the stadium watching the game and feeling the excitement. "Give Him Six!" :clapping:
