Book Summary Information

Summary of Once a Vol, Always a Vol! The Proud Men of the Volunteer Nation

On these pages are collected the stories of 25 former Tennessee football players. They were not chosen for the impact they had on the schoolÂ?s proud gridiron tradition, although itÂ?s fair to say all performed with distinction. Rather, it was their unusualÂ?in some cases, daringÂ?lives after college that captured the authorsÂ? attention. To a man, each player credited the lessons acquired playing football at Tennessee with helping him achieve rich accomplishments later in life.

Fans will enjoy reading how Jim Haslam built the gigantic Pilot Oil Co., Bill Emendorfer put together a string of successful restaurants, and Dr. Bob Overholt became a popular television personality in his hometown. From Willie Gault to Doug Atkins, from Mallon Faircloth to Fuad Reveiz, Once a Vol, Always a Vol! details the lives of many a proud man of the Volunteer Nation.
