| We can wear <insert color> as long as we win. The only tradition I care about is a winning tradition. Record books are black and white.

| CLK has said it over and over. It's about the kids.
The Players
The Recruits
EVERYTHING he does is about getting 17-18 year old football players across the country to want to play football at UT.
I've followed UT football since the 70's, and I love the traditions. I also watched us embrace all of those traditions and sink into obscurity the last four years.
I'll put my preferences on hold for a while and see what happens.
Get your popcorn ready ! | |

I would not be surpised if in the near future, some team wears pink and white jerseys.
When I turned on ESPN, I thought it was pretty sweet when I saw them running out there on black. These "gimmicks" can be pretty cool, as long as they stick to once a year or even less frequent than that, like Notre Dame's green jerseys. | |

Traditions are created, someone stood up and decided to change things up, open your mind.
The Maxims
The Power T
Running thru the T
Vol Walk
All were created by someone stepping up and making a change. | Easily one of the most intelligent posts I've seen on VN.
Not only did the players and recruits love it, it energized the crowd immediately. We need the crowd in the game and that is an instant "on" for the crowd.
Note that we created 2 turnovers in the first four minutes... players pumped up, ready to play.
We won. Let's get over it. | |

| A little history lesson. Our colors were decided in 1891. They came from the Common American Daisy that grew in abundance on The Hill. Since 1924, we have been playing in a variation of the Orange and White uniform. As for a selling point, we tell these kids about our deep traditions at UT and that they need to be a part of that, but in the same breath you want to change one the of traditions that sets us apart from every other program. If a kid doesnt want to play for UT because we dont wear black unis, then the hell with them. Let them play for another team. They get a free ride, they will wear what ever uniform they are told to wear and they will like it or they will ride the pine.

CLK said... repeatedly... it is a player's game. It was Halloween. What can you people not understand? | |

(We didn't do that when I was there from 78-83) or for that matter.. singing Rocky Top (A song that didn't exist before 1967) Yup... traditions can be started.. even in one's own lilfetime.

| Most pro teams are wearing throw-back uniforms for various games this season. This was simply our throw-back to the 20s. I thought they looked great and the kids seemed excited to wear them. Bring them back for another game with black pants. | |

Are you one of the ones who walked out of the stadium and cutoff their VASF donations after seeing the jerseys like samvol and sargegolf? lollerskates. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |
