My mother in law found an old Tennessean sports page from October 26, 1958 when she was cleaning out some of her dad’s old things. Top billing for Vandy for a 39-6 win over Virginia. Tennessee laid an egg at home against Florida State. Some guy named Bear Bryant won his first SEC game for Alabama. According to the MT football media guide, the Blue Raiders played and beat Morehead State 34-6 on October 25, 1958, to improve to 5-1 on the season under head coach Bubber Murphy. Tennessean totally ignored our game. Not mentioned in the “Local Colleges” or “Area Colleges” scores.
The snub of the Raiders aside, it was a really interesting and look back in time. Thought some of you may be interested.
