Don't bring it back.... but do better than the band playing a karaoke version of Kashmir.

So from what I hear the crowd needs a song to tell them when to get loud. If that's the case Third Down for What? is the same as any other, an insult to the fan base.

When they have the ball get loud. It's too simple.

IMO the music they played did not fit a football game. Had nothing in it to pump up the crowd. Sounded like between inning minor league baseball, I was lookin for the Sumo wrestlers.

We were in XX2 and the sound was terrible. Taking ear plugs to Ohio game. POTS is so amplified that it sounds terrible. I can't figure out what they were playing for third down. My ears were ready to bleed by halftime.

Crowd just needs to yell. Shouldn't have to be told. On third down just scream your head off! Go Vols!!!

I must have been at a different game because I thought the crowd noise was up there. I'm pretty sure the fans were in to the game more than the players were.

They need to bring it back or stop trying to do 3rd down music. They fans didn't really start yelling until the music stopping. The sound system was pathethic compared to last year. Jeff Jernigan didn't even sound like himself and you couldn't understand the music.

3 6 Mafia Stay High isn't appropriate 3rd down music even though I personally like the song.

For those of you who wanted this gone I have some questions. Do you even attend the games? Were you at the Georgia game? The electricity in the crowd when 3rd down for what starts has always been intensified. I agree it was played too much - but it had become a part of the 3rd down tradition.

There was absolutely no life in the crowd on Thursday from the start. The music they tried failed. I personally got tired of hearing the Pride play that same little snippet of music they play over and over again. It does NOT fire up the crowd.

1) Rap music sucks.

2) Loud rap music sucks twice as much

3) Hearing it played over and over and over and over and over, ad infinitum, got old after about the first time hearing it, in the 1st quarter, in Neyland.

4) If the crowd has to rely on some idiotic rap song to make them get loud, then they really were never "in" the game to begin with. I don't need a song to tell me to get loud when the opposing team has a 3rd down in front of them.

Crowd being quiet had more to do with us losing to App State then it did an irrelevant song

Not true - the crowd was very quiet from the start - first third down - no crowd noise at all.

Truth is when a team is struggling is when they really need the crowd noise for encouragement.

Neyland was not intimidating at all on Thursday! Neyland should always be intimidating on every play.

The OK game last year was phenomenal.

I agree, bring back 3rd down for what! The problem was that the song was overused and played on every 3rd down. If we could use it on really important third downs (in the red zone, on our half of the field, when the game is within one posession, etc) instead of playing it all the time, I would vote to keep it. At least make it part of the rotation. It became part of the Neyland experience the past two years.

I'm not sure what they were playing, but it didn't help...the music sounded out of place...not pump up music..It was obvious as day that the stadium was not as loud as in the past...
