Vols you played with or against growing up

[RichRollin]

One of my friends had this happen to him by Vincent Yarbrough when we were playing Cleveland. Vincent dunked on him in a game and broke the backboard. It was on SportsCenter. He never lived it down lol:

My buddy got clowned by Randy Moss like that. Dude caught the ball, turned, hurdled my buddy and ran 40yds for a TD. The play was all over Scholastic Sports America.

Edit: sorry to the younger folks....upper twenties and younger. I'm sure you guys probably don't know what Scholastic Sports America is/was. The older farts like me do. That show was the freaking bomb.

 

[volnSC]

Played in a scrimmage against Dominque Stevenson when he was a senior and I was a freshman.

 

[GERALD JONES 4 HEISMAN]

When I was at Sevier Co we faced Teddy Gaines and Eric Locke. Locke played QB, kicked field goals, punted and returned punts. I think he had over 500 All-Purpose yds against us that night. Riverdale was stacked that year!!

 

[InVOLuntary]

Played with John Bruin and Daryl Smith (rip) back in the day at Powell.

I know atleast one of the Bruin boys should have played at UT. Perhaps both. Someone screwed the pooch on that one IMO.

My mom, sister, and aunt rode an elevator with Travis Henry. Lasted 15 seconds. All gave birth 9 months later.

 

[VolBraniac]

I played against Haskell Stanback in a pick-up basketball game on the court between Hess Hall and Melrose Hall. He was a much better running back than a basketball player. He was pretty fast though.

Good Lord, you and I may have played together. I played mucho BB there and the across the street from the Presidential Complex. :hi:

 

[VolBraniac]

Bobby Scott

We put Scott, Leonard, Conrad, Priest and myself on our frat football team. Lasted one game until the student athletic dept outlawed existing players. lol

The only time I remember Reggie getting beat in a meet was by Preston Warren. Is that you Preston?

I never spoke to Peyton or Todd Helton (such a huge class), but the other guys were great people!!

I played neighborhood football with Bill Bates. He was all-time QB. We were in middle school and he was already at UT. I graduated HS with his younger sister.

 

[Fighting Possum]

Played some backyard ball with Jimmy Colquitt in a South Knoxville neighborhood when I was little. Does that count? Lol

Other than that, my only claim to fame with a Vol is that I played at Morristown West where Little Man played. I was there a few years before him though.

Hey InfiniteVol, I went to West and played baseball and ran track with Little Man. Class of 90 and I've been in the AF for 21 years. I'm sure we know each other...
