    Though the history of Tennessee football counts two players from Germany, only one player -- a former captain for the Volunteers -- hails from the state of Washington. Name this four year letterman, who capped off his professional career by helping the 49ers win the Super Bowl.

    Define "hail from."

    And I’m wrong.

    Although if there was one before him I’m pretty sure Jakob Johnson made a third.

    Ritzmann only played for Falcons I believe.

    I think he means Craig puki, but I think he's from the dakotas. so far as I know, no vol was born in the state of washington or idaho.

    Are we awarding Groves with the guess? There is a clear question mark there. I think we need to send this to committee.

    ya, Craig puki is from south Dakota. get your facts straight, jo! they have so few sons, and you are giving one away to WA. might be the only super bowl ring they have.

    the answer is Puki but the question was wrong.

    Yeah. I didn't read full question. I knew of Johnson so I just went to the German that played before him.

    Wouldn't have gotten Puki either way.

    It was a blind guess, it was the most German name I could think of besides Rittzmann

    I spent every summer at my grandfather's. He owned every media guide known to man and the amount of useless knowledge I have to all things UT football is ridiculous. It's equal parts amusing and embarrassing.

    I would read the media guides while I was waiting to do the radio show at Tennessee. I started getting old ones from Bud Ford after that. I had damn near everyone from about '78 to 2008 memorized at one point

    Awesome. One of my favorite pieces of Vol memorabilia is a pristine copy of the '85 Sugar Bowl media guide my grandfather gave me.
