The video had my daughter dancing to the music.

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

Cool, will be watching this till number1

 

[Boca Vol]

taz,

Any idea when that photo was taken? It looks to be in the late 70's early 80's.

Regarding the number 89...have to go with Larry Seivers. However, the Von Reeves pass to Pickens in the '90 UF game was awesome!

 

[MikeDVol]

Reynolds I guess.

 

[volinathens]

I'd go with Von Reeves, if only because of his perfect pass to Carl Pickens against Florida in '90.

 

[volnpowell]

Iirc Von Reeves made a big TD catch against Notre Dame in the miracle at South Bend.

 

[Ohiovol09]

I wish they would put up the V O L S across from the jumbotron

You are correct. I think his TD was early in the 3rd to make it 31-21, ND.

Don't recall any 89's. Odd number. Now-a-days, that's what you give the walk-on tightends... they'll be about 3 of em' on the sidelines with clean uni's, all decked out in 89.

The V-O-L-S signs need to go back up. Maybe on the north side of Neyland

 

[Boca Vol]

The VOLS signs were up in '98...nuff said. Bring them back.

 

[KingtUT]

Whose silly idea was it to take down V-O-L-S anyway? Hope they no longer get a check from UT

My answer would be Hamilton. im sure he had the final decision. Man he sucked.

We need to start a movement for everyone on volnation to send letters to the AD requesting the signs be put back up.

DEERPARK, do you have any insight on this subject?

 

[orange parmejohn]

the G-A is missing from the V-O-L-S sign

 

[Boca Vol]

I think when the new Jumbotron was installed it would've put them so far up. Who cares, bring them back.

Yeah, i remember them saying the weight load was too much. Thats why i think we should just put them up on the opposite end of the stadium

 

[Boca Vol]

There's a partial roof on the N. endzone, but I would think someone could figure it out. Nice idea.

Im sure they could figure out a way to attach it to the overhang. I always thought the V-O-L-S signs had kind of an imposing feel.

 

[Vols4us]

Add me to the VOLS sign supporters. They should be up there and the north end zone works fine for me. Can't see the jumbotron where I sit (P) anyway, (no) thanks to MH.

 

[Coach Grizz]

I agree 100%!!!!!

 

[ncvol17]

Seivers catch beat Maryland in Liberty Bowl...7-3...cold as a witches tummy that day

 

[the realist]

The VOLS sign was as iconic as touchdown jesus . . . taking those letters down was one of the worst decisions in the history of the stadium.
