I got to say that is one sexy looking trophy. It is going to look amazing in our case. It weighs 88lbs and is 2 feet tall. Oh and it took over 300 hours to make.

Vols will get practice hoisting a trophy. Will help them when they lift the one in Tampa

Might as well change that football out for a power T

That's a sweet trophy. It's gonna look nice in our trophy case.

Yup we are going to be holding up a lot of hardware this year.:rock:

Looks better than the NC trophy by far.

 

[FïreBall]

Let's not go overboard.

My thoughts exactly! One can wish....right?

Looks good, I think BaB put on a contest for a fan to design it. I wonder who the lucky winner was.

Wasnt one of you guys a finalist?

Yes, but I know his design was not picked...he was talking bout it today on the The Keyplay forum.

I thought the trophy was going to look more like a dog shredding into a chicken leg, but this will do. :thumbsup:

I designed it along with one of the artists that I work with. They changed the final design from our original. The stem and football were originally going to be crystal. That part of it came from our sears nc trophy. It was going to curve to mimic the racetrack and lead up to the ball, but they trophy maker was unable to reproduce it.It ended up looking more like the Lombardi than I wanted but hey what can you do. The wood is made from a Tennessee hardwood. It's hard to see on the stem,but there is a checker board running up both sides. This trophy was designed by a Vol, voted on by Volnation, and made for The Vols to bring home to Knoxville.

I figured it would be a pic of Smokey carrying a dead turkey by its neck. I didn't think there would be an actual trophy.

I thought I would share a few other pictures from today. They were installing the panels on Colossus. They were showing samples of the support and power cables. The support cables are 43 pounds per foot. I asked what guage the power cords were and the response was B.A.G. Big ass guage hahaha. Also, they are building the field up 3 feet. 450 truckloads will be brought in. Pretty impressive stuff

Serious question, how much zoom were you using on the sideline pic from the stands?
