Several thoughts...
1. What a great tradition this program has, its just phenomenal....its what made me love Tennessee football since I was a very young kid
2. Every hair on the back of my neck is standing straight up after watching that video...was in Neyland for several of those highlights.
3. Please, burn all the Smokey gray uniforms today, dont ever bring em back....ever.
4. When is the last time our team was worth an ish? Jeez, its been forever. Please be the right guy Jeremy Pruitt
5. John Ward is the greatest ever...God I miss that guy, Vol football simply isnt the same without him.
Yea, I agree with all.
And about the uniforms. I never really cared if we wore the grays or not. After watching that, I agree, hope we never see anything but orange and white. So hope we see orange/orange this season.

I loved the way it ended. I'm not sure the PA guy even says "Pay these prices and pay no more" these days.
What are the origins of that? Well, here is a screen snap of a 1961 program (which, if you are interested can be found at: The Tennessee Football Programs: Digital Collection)
Notice the bottom line!
This literally made me cry. I just buried my grandfather. He took me to my first UT game. I went every home game with him for years. Then my brother would go with us, and he and I would alternate if we couldn't get extra tickets.
He loved Tennessee Football. He had been going since Neyland was on the sidelines. I've been going since Battle was on the sidelines.
God almighty, I loved that man, and this video embodied everything both he and I loved about UT football.
