I dont know why everyone on this board got so pissy at my thread. It's just my opinion. |
We're not laughing at you, we are laughing with you. Just having a little fun with the topic.
Lighten up, Frances.

The whole coonskin cap thing was well before the civil war.
The caps were originally a traditional Native American article of clothing, but when European pioneers began settling the Tennessee and Kentucky areas, they made it their own, evolving its use and wearing them as hunting caps.
This is all circa 1780s-1830s.
I wouldnt expect you to know anything about history being from Florida, so I'll let this one slide. | |

I think its the alliteration that is the issue here. You know, Duke has the Cameron Crazies, we have the Rowdy Reptiles. You can't do much with Thompson-Bolling or whatever it is, so can't work from the stadium name.
Tennessee fans could be any of the following (some good, some not so much):
Tennessee Tazmanians
Tennessee Trash
Volunteer Vermin
Voracious Volunteers
I like the third one, myself.  | You forgot....
1) Toothless Tennesseans
2) Big Orange Bubbas
3) Pearl Partiers
4) Rocky Top Rejects   | |
