Mt Rushmore of Vols

Wilson, Majors, Manning and probably Berry would be my second go round

 

I just dont' see it. Reggie White was a great professional football player and an exceptionally talented college football player that didn't like to work hard enough as a Vol to dominate until it mattered to his draft status.

 

I like Holloway on there for the historical significance as well as being a great player. It's hard to limit it to 4 guys. The Humboldtian in me likes Doug Atkins up there.

 

Yes, Holloway deserves a spot even though I left him off mine. It's hard to do just 4

 

For me Peyton, Fulmer, Berry.
It's hard to pick another one for my time period

 

You'd put Berry in front of Fulmer ? Come on man.

 

So would I.

 

i'm no fulmerite, but the guy did preside over the best stretch of football since the general, however he managed to do it

 

Well, that's 1000% ridiculous and it's not even debatable. What are your top couple of reasons for even putting Berry on the list.

 

If Phil goes, so does Cutcliffe.

 

I don't want this to turn in to a Fulmer thread so I'll just leave that alone. I like Berry, I just don't get the thought that he's one of the greatest Vols of all time. I don't think he's there.

 

I harbor no ill will towards Fulmer at all, but he's not in my top 8 greatest Vols.

 

I'm guessing that Hat votes in the Skoal Patrol

 

He's easily there for me. Better than Reggie White, that's for damn sure.

 

I don't mean this as a slight towards EB, but how was he a better Vol than Dale Carter ?

 

Berry did it for three years, Carter was only here two years.

Berry wasn't allowed to return kicks full time either.

I'm not knocking Carter, he was a stud in his time in Knoxville.

 

I'm hurt, so hurt!

 

EB nearly broke the NCAA INT return yardage record in 3 years. And a good portion of those yards came in his first 2 years.

 

Any list not including Tidwell (Clarksvilles finest) is utter trash.

 

EB sticks out more due to the otherwise ordinary and crap that was around him, too. Though he'd have been a stud in the late 90s too. Still it's hard for me to put him on mine.
