2012 So. Pittsburg Pirates

[rlh]

Interesting question. I can think of three - Phil Beene, Eddie Brown, and Eric Westmoreland who helped UT win a National Championship.

 

If you want to add Jasper to it, Eddie Brown not only played at UT, but also for the Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins and Los Angeles Rams. He also played some in the USFL in the early 80s. For anyone that don't know who Eddie Brown is, ask some of the 68 and 69 Pirates. He was probably one of the few people in the Valley that had a chance at running Wigfall down. When with the Rams, he also played in the Super Bowl in January of 1980.

 

Phil Beene helped put UT on the map with the Legendary Butt Whipping of Aladambama by Neylands Vols.

Eddie Baker, and Bill Hall also were at Knoxville. Baker is now a scout with the Falcons if he has not changed teams.

I believe Eddie was the one getting run down in 69!

Yes but that wasn't my point.

I will be making at least 1 game in the regular season and I usually get a couple of playoff games. Last fall I wasn't counting on my dad getting sick and then passing away. Tallahassee is straight down the Georgia/Bama line to Florida. That is a haul.
