Bob Neyland's Son Recovering from Flood

Bob Neyland at the 44th Annual UT Picnic
Bob Neyland, the son of legendary Tennessee football coach and U.S. Army General Bob Neyland, lives right here in Nashville. He was at the Vols All-Sports picnic yesterday.

His home and belongings were severely damaged in the flood, and he is living now with friends in the Bellevue area.

Please help him and other victims out if you can. Thank you!

He certainly looks a lot like his father. Gen. Neyland built Tennessee football into the powerhouse program it was in the 20th Century. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

This coming season, UT will unveil a statue of Neyland at the stadium. It has cost $350,000 to make. The sculptor is the same one who does the statues for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
