What football Vols have made Sports Illustrated covers?

[1974gleasonVol]

Paul Naumoff was on the cover as a Miami Dolphin Don't remember year but I have the issue and could look it and post.

 

[UTwild82]

Tee Martin

 

[mercuryvol]

Actually that is Mike Jones. Even Albert admits that.

Correct. The UT db’s intercepted Alabama 4 times if I recall. The ua player is their All American, Dennis Homan. He and Stabler had a rough day. My first UT game.

Add: I’m wrong. UT had 5 int. that day.

I never knew Paul played for the Dolphins. A lot of former Vols from that era did but I only remember Paul playing for Detroit.

Csonka, in his book with Kiick, told the story about Stan Mitchell, former Vol FB at Miami living in his car. That was the NFL in the late 60s.

Csonka also told the story about John Boynton, big OT from Tennessee. John was from Pikeville, probably the only Vol from Pikeville. Mitchell told Csonka that “where John comes from, you don’t go there unless you know somebody”.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Volinvonore,That was 1967 at Legion.field.and I was happily there.

Thanks for the correction. I was also there. One of my best in-season football trips. I did not know until that game that Walter Chadwick could throw a football.

 

[Hank Bukowski]

I can only remember 2, Peyton and Tony Robinson.

Any others?

The kid who blocked the punt and covered it in the end zone for 6 at Georgia, when we hung like 52 in them. That was a SI cover. I think his name was Antonio Wardlaw?

 

[wmcovol]

I believe there was a cover with Ray Buzzard’s swimming team, maybe Dave Edgar, on it but I might be mistaken.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Targeting.


(Ducks and runs)

 

[Plano Vol]

Why no love for T Rob?

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Antonio Wardlaw?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Candace Parker had one

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Didn't Lofton have one too?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Correct. The UT db’s intercepted Alabama 4 times if I recall. The ua player is their All American, Dennis Homan. He and Stabler had a rough day. My first UT game.

I wish I could figure out how to get Mike Jones to sign mine. I have a bunch of UT SI covers signed, but not that one or Ernie & Bernie. I should’ve sent it to Ernie when he was with the wizards.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Chamique Holdsclaw had one.

 

[The Original Fade]

What is Sports Illustrated?

 

[Volfan1000]

My favorite Big Orange Cover.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I was at that game. Wardlow jumping on the blocked punt cemented that 2nd half come from behind beat down .

Their defensive coordinator in that game is working for us again now. Should be okay as long as we don't have to face Cut.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

True. Pretty sure Cut doesn’t have Ainge, Meachem and Foster right now either. Haha.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

True. Pretty sure Cut doesn’t have Ainge, Meachem and Foster right now either. Haha.

Also glad Martinez is just coaching DB's for us.

 

[Hacksaw]

This wasn’t a Vol on the cover but always loved this issue as a kid because of the photo of Larry Seivers in 1976 with Bettie Feathers from the 1930’s. Expectations were high but turned out to be Bill Battle’s last year. View attachment 380248View attachment 380249View attachment 380251

That's really cool.

 

[ru4real-really?]

Charlie Severance and another vol or two stopped Billy Cannon on a two point attempt to seal a win over number 1 LSU in November 1959 and that stop made to cover too! Don't you guys remember that?

 

[LTVol]

Actually that is Mike Jones. Even Albert admits that.

Yep. Mike and I went to Nashville Stratford High School. He was 4 years ahead of me. I recall when this issue was published our principal made an announcement about it over the PA system. A proud moment for the Spartans.

 

[Buzzbait]

I believe there was a cover with Ray Buzzard’s swimming team, maybe Dave Edgar, on it but I might be mistaken.

I agree, with the headline” Fastest Man Afloat”. There may have been another with Edgar and John Trembley orTrembley solo.
