Seivers was my all time favorite reciever. Slow white guy that caught everything in his area code....and was fearless.
I heard an interview of him a couple of years ago. He's still in the Knoxville area.
I've known Larry since he was in grade school. He was a goid basketball player as well. I played a lot if roundball with him and Kimmie Weaver who went to Vandy (good linebacker). Larry was not a fan of running. His driveway was (where he played a lot of roundball growing up) on a hill, if the ball got away it could roll a half mile down the road. He would bust his butt and leap to catch it so he did not have to make that trek. He and his dad broke many a lamp in their den football indoors much to his mom's dismay. Good family. They loved people and were active in the community.
His mom was concerned about the playing time he would get at UT because if Morgan's speed. I told her he would get lots just because of his hands.
Tn. signed two other players that year from Clinton Terry Moore a FB and Rusell Williams a LB - i think - he went out of country on a mission trip for his church for a year. He lost something on that trip an did not play much when he got back.
There was a RB on that HS team that they wanted but passed on because of his knees. He went to a small college and was killing it till he blew out a knee again and had to give up FB. Shame he was very good. Probably would have been one of the fans favorites if he had good knees.

President Harry S. Truman said: “The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings… If we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.”
