Just thought I would share this little bit of Vol history with everyone. You may already know this, but I didn't. I was just looking up Vol players who have had their jersey numbers retired. That's where I learned that we had lost 4 players during WWII. All 4 had their jersey numbers retired in 2006 prior to the Air Force game. Here is a link to the page I was looking at. They are the bottom 4 on that page.
