Can't top that one, but I once got a mariachi band to play Rocky Top in a Mexican restaurant here in Southern Illinois. Turned out they were from Nashville, so I guess they had a lot of practice.Paid a oompah band 50 euro to play Rocky Top when I was at Oktoberfest in Munich several years ago! Too many beers to negotiate a better price...
Had someone shout it at me a couple years later when I was at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin
That’s funny. I’m guessing from your screen name you are a woman. Many men are intimidated by women that want to talk sports. Go figure. Many women don’t care to talk football. My advice is to say Go Vols! and keep moving. If they want to stop and chat, well done.I've lived in 6 different states and honestly never heard a go vols outside of Knoxville. I'm currently in Clarksville and see other fans sometimes. Swear every time I even say something, im met with a blank stare
Yeah, I have plenty of other fellow women vol fans but they don't care to talk football. My bestfriend loves to talk about it, but she's a Bama fan and gives me a lot of crap lol. My husband likes football, but he's not a fan of any particular team. He didn't grow up in a college town so there's that lol. Main reasons why I seeked out this forum.That’s funny.

It’s the importance of the subject matter that gets us riled up. I really don’t care for “Vol Fans” taking pot shots at players. It’s bad enough that fans of other teams take their shots, but for our own fans being jackwagons about the guys putting in the work and giving their all for the Vols is just poor form in my opinion.True, people get very heated over difference of opinion.
I can agree to that, although I have my moments watching a player and wondering wtf were they thinking? Like the Austin pope end zone fumble for instance. I also don't have much sympathy for the players who don't try or who don't have a team attitude. Of course, I'm not there to witness, but I know there's bound to be some there.It’s the importance of the subject matter that gets us riled up.

Mistakes are made and talent is squandered so often that I feel bad for the guys that just don’t get it. I’ll never understand throwing a young man under the bus when typically we have no idea of the whole story. Sometimes maybe they earn it, but it’s just tacky for a fan to do that. Austin Pope fumble? Is that the one where there was no contact?I can agree to that, although I have my moments watching a player and wondering wtf were they thinking? Like the Austin pope end zone fumble for instance.

True. That game was so hard to watch.
The fl game. That one was hard for me.Who was that against? I’m still trying to remember. And being hard to watch doesn’t compute. It’s hard for me not to watch the Vols play. Now watching a loss the 2nd time, is hard to do. Usually I can’t get past the 1st qtr. A win I can watch over and over until the next win.
