How did Reynolds get the name "Hacksaw?"



My parents were good friends with Hacksaw and a bunch of the Rams back in the 70s. I've heard some wild stories. Those guys were insane.

I think he went to Tennessee.

I still chuckle at the sight of Reynolds trying to pee on the sidelines of the Super Bowl with teammates circled around him as a shield and Hacksaw struggling to get his pants open due to his taped up hands. He admitted later that he ended up peeing all over himself and some of the teammates.

CORRECT.

Reynolds went to Tennessee. The nickname comes from the moment in 1969, when, upon losing to rivals Ole Miss, he sawed a 1953 Chevrolet in half. 'Hacksaw' was born, and it was a brave driver that left his car in the stadium car park following the next big defeat

Ok, I am curious about what year(s) did these individual universities have won the D1 championships in football and basketball.

UCLA won multiple NCAA basketball championships in the 60's and 70's under Coach Wooten. Ohio State won in 1960. (Bobby Knight was on the roster, if I recall correctly). Michigan won with the Fab Four in 1989 over Andrew Gaze & Seton Hall. Maryland just won in 2002 over Indiana.
