Did you guys know that Robert Neyland played his freshman year of football and baseball at Texas A&M? He left when he got an appointment to the US Military Academy. I thought I knew most historical Aggie trivia, but had never heard this. SO... we're kinda "football relatives". Seeing a game in Knoxville was always on my list, but I think it just moved up several notches in priority!
A lot of the greats did not wind up coaching where they played. Neyland was and still is Tennessee football. Thanks for prepping him for us! 8) Maybe we can plan to go to a game together some time.
