| Yes, it came from Orange daisies that grew on the hill. A simple google search reveals hundreds of different sites that not only prove that orange daisies exist, but that you can actually purchase the elusive flora.
To the poster who said that his acquaintance from Texas said that UT's colors were purple. He is flat wrong. In fact before UT's colors were orange and white they were...black and white. Without wanting to spend the thirty seconds it would take to confirm this fact, my memory says that the colors changed somewhere in the 19teens to 20's.
Not to get too far into the black jersey debate, but for everyone who was so upset with that they forgot that black was our first color making it a true nod to tradition. Anyway... | |

| As long as Nicholas Cage doesn't star in the movie about this conspiracy theory, then I don't care why we picked orange. | |

| The truth will soon be revealed
The stadium faces north and south so that it is aligned perfectly with the poles
The bones of the dead are kept under Neyland for a reason
Be afraid, be very afraid!!!! | |
