Was it known well before the end of the 77 season that he was coming home?
Bill Battle was very meh in 74 75 76 while Majors was up and coming.
Was it speculated sooner than 77?
Was there any doubt if it was “happening” or was there any fear Majors wouldn’t come home?
What was it like waiting for Majors to get things going?
Beating Bama in 82 was huge but it was 83 before 4 conference wins.
Was there ever a “damn if Johnny can’t do it who can” mentality?
Damn good season in 83, meh in 84, and I would think in 85 everyone thought we were back. Then after a meh 86 and a very solid 87 we start 0-6 in 88.
WTF happened there?
Won out, finished 5-6, and the rest is history.
His Natty might have been at Pitt but those “yinzers from Pittsburgh can’t claim him. He’s all Vol, a legend, and set us up for the the greatest run in school history. My favorite Vol!
