Apparently on Vol Calls, Butch said something about an announcement during the orange and white game. Has anyone else heard this and do any of you have any (reasonable) guesses or info?

@VinceSports Butch Jones says on Vol Calls that they'll have a special announcement at Saturday's spring game. Said we'll hear from the players as well.

@ALLVOLNEWS Butch Jones said on Vol Calls that there will be a special announcement this weekend at the Orange & White game.

Yeah, I never got why they said that slogan... did they actually think fans thought they were underpricing? :) :loco:

"A few moments later, Denton would remind fans that the concession prices were listed in the souvenir program before proclaiming "We urge you to pay these prices and please pay no more!" The line dates to when it followed a public listing of the prices, serving as an exclamation point on the read. When the prices were added to the program, it served as an extra reminder to fans to not fall victim to enterprising concession stand managers looking to make an extra profit based on demand in the 1970's. Though not an issue at the stands in later years, the line endured as a Tennessee tradition."

I miss Bobby Denton. The greatest stadium announcer of all time.

I am really thinking it's something great if Butch is making a surprise spring announcement! If it was for Peyton to be QB coach it'd be amazing. He's in Bristol sunday, so I'd say he'll be in knoxville for the O&W game as well. We'll see what happens.

Me too. I'm glad that we still play his "its football time in Tennessee" over the sound system before each game. Such a familiar voice.

I have tried to mimic his voice and delivery to people in the various places I have lived, obviously I failed miserably.

His calls of a Reggie White tackle/sack were as good as it gets.

Keep dreaming! If that's true I will streak from one endzone to the other.
