HeavyEagle,

 

I think if Shular had stayed his Senior year, that would have made a difference in his pro career.

 

I'm thankful that Peyton stayed. He was a great QB, tremendous leader, and an all around wonderful person.

 

Muffin,

 

I agree. I don't think Kelly can be compared to the likes of Montana, etc. If he is that good, he would be in the NFL.

You guys must be young! What about Condredge and Jimmy Streeter and even a little known backup by the name of Darrell Dickey who as the QB helped beat the Caines 35 to 7! The greatest game I ever had the pleasure of attending! Heck I even liked Tony Robinson, just wished he could have kept his head on straight!

smokeyvol1,

 

I found the below article stating that Tennessee, in 1939 was the last team, but I also read on the same website that Southern Cal went undefeated and unscored also that same year.

In 1939 Tennessee became the last team in major college football to go undefeated, untied and unscored on. Regrettably for the Vols, their perfect season went sour in the Rose Bowl when they had the tables turned on them by the Southern Cal Trojans with a 14-0 loss in Pasadena.

 

www.2cuz.com (click on History, then Season Recap, then 1939):

 

For the second straight year a team that went through the regular season undefeated, untied and unscored upon fell to Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl. This time, the 4th-ranked Trojans turned the tables on No.2 Tennessee, shutting the Vols out, 14–0, to snap a 23–game winning streak.

 

Is this correct, or was there another team later on that went unscored upon?

I was young and impressionable. Ha-Ha!

 

I was too young to go to Notre Dame games since it was a three hour drive, or so, from Indy. But there's nothing to compare to a UT football game. I was bitten the first time I saw the Pride of the Southland Band enter the stadium.

    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
    • you must not know how tssaa operates lol
