If we beat Vandy in the Final Four to play for the championship there would be mayhem on campus and on the Strip. Book it!

Judging by the twitter attacks on Rogers, I don't wanna know.

Burning couches is one thing, flipping cars is another.

I see people getting wild and having a great time, but why destruct other UT fans property by flipping cars. If you want to burn down your own couch ok, but the flipping cars in celebration I don't get.

I remember after we beat Florida in 2001 a couch (among other things) was burned outside of my house. Fire Dept. came and put it out, no big deal. Sounds like things got a little out of hand in Lexington.

I don't remember anything like this happening after we won the National Championship in 1998.

I too remember the mayhem in 2001 when we beat Florida. There was an impromptu riot at the stadium (it was an away game), some burnings in presidential court, random shenanigans. Don't recall anything serious though.

We'd be worse. But for that one occasion, I'd be okay with it.

If Tennessee ever makes the National Championship game in men's basketball in my lifetime, I will burn a mattress!

Heck, at the rate our football program in going, I may burn a mattress if they make it to the title game again.

BTW, I'm over 50 and not really worried about having to burn a mattress. But I'll be big orange to my grave anyway!
