Black outs are stupid. The only things that look cool are white and yellow outs. Please don't take this as a racial statement, cuz it's not, but blackouts don't work unless all the white folks paint their faces black too. Penn State area is predominantly white, so when ya add the white shirts it all blends in w/ the white skin. When I had Maryland season seats they tried a black out. It looked awful because:

#1-people still has yellow and red on their black shirts and
#2-White skin took away from the effect of the black out.

So a blackout at UT would look awful cuz you'd have all those black shirst up against all the white faces...doesn't flow and make the stadium look like it's surrounded by black. Penn State looks COMPLETELY white when they do.

To me the main reason Tennessee doesn't need to go with the black jersey's and blackout at the game is the fact that we would be roughly the 25,000th team to do that. Everyone has gotten caught up in this silly craze. It was cool the first few times I saw it, but now it's just kind of become cliche. We've more or less had our own distinctive look for the duration of our football program, and in my opinion we should be sticking with the look we pioneered many years ago rather than trying to copy off of other teams.

just a little something to keep my mind off the coaching search, which has already become somewhat of a drag with all the rumors swirling about, all the while knowing nobody is likely to know anything for the better part of a month

It would probably be a waste of money, but a checkerboard Neyland Stadium would be sweet.

I love that picture! I have it sitting on my desk at work.:rock: Being at the game was pretty nice too. That would take a serious donation from some of the local stores to give all those shirts though.

If it weren't for players like those on our defense, I'd make them all wear brown jerseys to match their level of play this past year. Very few of them have earned the honor of wearing Tennessee Orange on Saturdays.

Dead weight should not be allowed to disgrace the jersey worn by the likes of Dodd, Atkins, Wilson, and Manning.

I wouldn't mind the away uniforms being a little different but orange helmets would look terrible.
