There was an old rusted car under Tiger Staduim in the early eighties, when I did work there, not sure what that was about. And I watched basketball players like Ricky Blanton running laps on the football field. And remember Wille Gault running back a kick or punt for Tenn. The game that stood out was Aub, the earthquake game. Damn it was loud.

I lived in Johnson freshman year, Hatcher sophomore, and first floor South Stadium junior year (1969). There was only one phone and one TV in the middle of the floor, no AC. Game days were exciting...it seemed like the whole world was outside our window. It was a different world.....we did not even lock our door while we were away....except game days. We did things that I still cannot reveal or our tickets would likely be pulled. The guys I knew then are still my best friends 5o+ years later. We still get together for card games.
