[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 294361, member: 2451"] Understandable. The General was Dodd's coach when he was an All American quarterback at Tennessee and was an enormous influence on Dodd and the way he approached the game. In a book, Dodd listed several of his most important victories, one being, of course, the huge upset of #1 Alabama in 1962 at Grant Field and another his very first win over Neyland's Vols in Knoxville 27-0. I would expect that to Coach Dodd Tennessee was right up there with Georgia in importance. When Kim King was a sophomore starting quarterback Tech was playing at Tennessee and Dodd comes up to him in the pregame warm up and says: "You know I played right here in this stadium" King said his heart went to his stomach or vice versa. He knew then just how important that game was to Dodd. According to my Dad, the best game he ever saw at Grant Field was a kicking contest and pure defense played by Tech and Tennessee when both were ranked in the top 10 during the 1950s Tennessee won 6-0.
