The Knoxville Football Riot - a podcast by Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins

When the Chattanooga Mocs came to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in the fall of 1958, Tennessee was looking forward to breaking a losing streak.  You see, the Mocs had lost their last 28 games with the Vols, so Chattanooga was seen as an easy pick up.  That's not what happened, and that led to, well, mayhem on the football field in Knoxville.  Today we tell you that story.
