1st Down Tennessee - Crowd "Rocky....Top", will it catch on?

Just worry about what happens on the field and let the stands worry about themselves. We don't need a script to enjoy the game.

Never ceases to amaze me that we get 100K to come to Neyland but apparently an unknown percentage come to actually watch football. Many come for something other than that. Why not add a mascot in go cart, Sumo wrestlers, etc. and go Minor league baseball antics. Oh well, everyone to their viewing pleasure.GBO.

Personally I'd be happy if they'd just beat visting team's asses and the crowd scream until their vocal chords bleed. I'm not interested in Tennessee Football: The Musical.

So first Butch came in and marginalized the Pride of the Southland Band, now he's taking over the cheerleader's responsibilities, when is he gonna just be a football coach?

Kind of surprised by the negative comments. When we get a first down, some cheer, but you don't want to go "crazy" and do "fan" stuff because you don't want to be loud when the offense is on the field. A quick Rocky Top is going to be a cool addition. My kids like it, they aren't quite ready to fully follow the game, but they like this kind of stuff.

I'm all for supporting the team and I love to take part in the "fandemonium," but this one's going to fall flat.

I'll do my part to try to make it happen, but it will ultimately fail because it's overly complicated. We apparently tried so hard not to look like we were copying the Bammers that we've created a complex combination of chanting and clapping eerily akin to patting one's head while attempting to simultaneously rub one's belly.

A simple "Go Vols" would have done the trick.

The three,3, count them out 1-2-3 claps, was awful and awkward. One half of the stadium screaming Rocky and the other half then screaming Top is ok though. Just please get rid of the arithmetic claps.

Some of you need to lighten up. If the team likes it, works for me

I don't think the team cares what kind of cheers we do in the stands, as long as we're not booing them. And I doubt they went to Butch and suggested this. This has nothing to do with the players, unlike a uniform decision.

First thing I thought of?

"Oh crap, my seats are in Z! Am I a Rocky? Or am I a....HEY. NOT COOL."

Second thing I thought of?

"Dangit, I bet I am a top. Rats."

But no one will be able to remember what they are by about halftime on, so it'll just be a mooshed up mess.

:blink:

It'll catch on about as well as the " Fist up Defense" did. Only thing we stuck with is " 3rd down for what"
