The CheckerBoard

Remember the day:

Since 1966 - UT vs Ga. Tech. in Atlanta. First game I ever saw on color TV. I was 11 years old and my Dad took me with him to my uncle's house to see the game. I was stoked that my Dad wanted to to go with him. Watching him and my uncles get all worked up over the game made me want some of that.

Both teams were ranked in the top 10. UT lost in a 6 to 3 slugfest - but they won a life long fan that day. Was a big part of my decision to choose Tennessee for college. Was also the best Engineering School I could afford.

Players I remember:
Dewey Warren (no relation) @ QB
Charlie Fulton @ TB
Richard Pickens @ FB
Bob Johnson @ C
Paul Naumoff @ LB
Johnny Mills @ SE
Richmond Flowers @ WB
Austin Denny @ TE

Priceless Memory!
