    1. Tn-obvious...Bear-HS mascot...66-year I graduated.
    2. Saying and doing the right things. Especially with the lettermen. If you have a legacy as a team your either all in or not at all. JMO
    3. Probably not.
    4. Actually can't remember the first but some memorable games were Penn State in '71 or '72 can't remember which, Ky-Tn basketball game when Dale Ellis was playing...lots of great memories.

    Black and Gold. I played for 'Red' Hensley' and he used the uni's as reward and punishment. If we played up to his standards we wore Black and Gold, if we did not we had to wear white with black lettering and stripes and gold trim around the numbers. One year we were playing our archrival Chattanooga Central(not downtown now). Before the game he told us to not put our socks or shoes on. When we were dressed he passed out white socks with red piping around the top and he said the red stood for blood and that's what he wanted. Those games were men only. You couldn't get away with that nowadays. Sorry for the reminiscence.

    Not retired but was career military until my wife died leaving me with a 5 1/2 year old baby girl who is now a Gunnery Sargeant in her 15 year in the Marine Corp.. I served four years in the AF and three in the Army before leaving to raise my daughter.. I served in Vietnam for over a year then Texas, Va., Ft. Campbell Ky.. I flew small planes until I lost my medical certificate...there's no more fun for me than flying unless it's playing with my grandkids.

  • Good Morning bear. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to answer the following questions. Good luck. This post will self destruct in due time.

    A couple of "66" questions.
    1. Chevelle SS or Mustang?
    2. Beatles or The Stones?

    3. How much younger is your wife than you?
    4. Aside from CBJ, your thoughts on the new staff?
    5. Any chance Wes is in Ryan's wedding?
    6. Any chance Wes is in The Redhead's wedding?
    7. Going to any games next year?
    8. Will Bill Jones ever post again or is he too fed up with Janet's lies?

    Have a Great Day and thanks for being on Hot Seat.

    BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

    You and 28 need a spanking for being disrespectful.nonobiggrin. However, your not far off. We had a single bar until my sophomore year and then they went to the two bar. They were suspension helmets with canvas webbing...explains a lot my wife says.
