I loved it when our jerseys looked like this!!

Looking forward to my first game at Neyland—still looks like Arkansas or Oklahoma.

Hopefully nobody stands up in front of you the whole time. At the UT/SC game in 2023, a guy stood in front of me the WHOLE time, halftime and all. We were on the aisle, and when he got tired of standing, he'd lean against the rail. He would NOT sit down. I know it's been discussed here before, but just saying. I didn't want to be "that guy," and ruin his experience, so I didn't say anything, but you know, I paid for my seat the same as he did his.
