Found this on youtube and watched the entire video here at work. This is glimpse what we can be again. Here are my thoughts from this team: The ass kicking they handed UCLA. This was one of the most monumental wins in team history. The entire squad went to the corner endzone to give gratitude the fans at the end of the game. The offensive line was as good as any Tennessee team i ever saw. Pickens and Webb carried this team as Frosh The Pickens KO return at LSU was the play of the year.

My favorite team. Bernard, Shazzon, Alvin, Chuck, Carl, Andy, Antone... The first names alone still make me sentimental.
If you draw about a 100-mile radius around Knoxville, you'll find most of the players that made up the core of that team. Pickens, Davis, Bradley, Cobb, Kelly...
J.J. McCleskey, J Julian, Cobb, R Hall (DNP) P Warren, and V Reeves played locally in Knoxville. Randy hall was a beast at Halls.
Holy God, the 1985 highlight tape was being sold for $42.95. Adjusted for inflation that's over $80 today. Of course, this is coming from the same people who are currently selling every heart-stopping moment of the unforgettable 2012 season for $225. Tennessee Vols Tennessee Football 2012 Season Pass
I was at that UCLA game with my parents. The UCLA fans were in shock. By the time that game was over, it was only orange in that one section. When the players came over, it was awesome. Don't know that the team would do that anymore. Those guys loved playing for the Big Orange.
The DVD box is empty except for a scrap of paper with urls for Cordarelle Patterson's youtube videos.
That makes me miss John Ward. I was 13 years old in 1989. I was sitting in a tent with some buddies in the middle of a cow pasture listening to the UCLA game on a boom box. Great memories.
