If I had to guess I'd say the Georgia game will be Checker Neyland, Smokey Greys, etc.

Shouldn't do both for same game.
Fans all wearing orange and white in checkered sections, while team is wearing gray, is inconsistent.
But, If you are going to do this, then do it right.
Have the fans checker the stadium in orange and gray.
And, to really make the older fans heads explode :eek:lol:, checker the end zones Orange and gray. :crazy:

What I treasure is the roar of the crowd when the Vols are getting it done. A person cannot hear their own teeth grinding or an aircraft overhead. That burst of audible energy within Neyland jiggles your innards.

The following chorus of Rocky Top may force one to use sign language to communicate with another one seat over. It's these spirited moments I treasure. The shear force of the Vols fans' joyous spirit expressed in sound waves.

Leave the towels. Let loose your voices. The Volunteers will be empowered by it, and even the most stalwart opponent will be cowed. It's what we're known for, and not just the volume, but the joy. Tennessee fans are joyous, good natured folk. Our chorus is never to spit invectives at opponents. It's only to cheer our team. This signature character has held true for decades, generations. It identifies us as much as the colors we wear. GBO.

Dang Millenials!! What's with all of the gimmicks? Just wear Orange, show up at the game, stand up and yell when you're supposed to, sit down and be quiet when you're supposed to and sing Rocky Top loudly (woo if you want to but shut up about if you don't)!!

And get off my lawn!!

A legitimate physics question: How much quieter will Neyland be with towels?

In decibels, how much will towels waving in the air absorb fans' yelling before it gets to the field?

There will also be a net less noise generated. Every fan waving a towel is not clapping--which is the loudest, sustainable-over-four-quarters noisemaker fans possess. That's why NFL towel waving began (in Denver, actually) and continues most effectively in outdoor, cold weather stadiums--everyone has gloves on, so their clapping is already muted!

When the Saints (twice) tried to break the record for loudest indoor stadium, they handed out 75,000 towels. They failed both times.

Seriously--towel waving decreases the amount of fan noise heard on the field, and noise is the only home field advantage we fans can generate.

Visually (according to studies made on basketball arenas and free throw shooting), only if you have fans waving objects in the same direction simultaneously is there disruption. In a football stadium, you could only use it in field goal situations since it would be just as disruptive to our guys as theirs.

C'mon Volnation. Let's tap into our inner Oak Ridge and add some science to our passion--instead of muffling it.

The noise will come when the fans see the pandemonium that will fill the stadium Nov 18. It's going to be cold then so we need something to push through and get the fans more inVOLved. It has been proven that fans get louder, stay in the game more and can change the out come of a game when events like The STORM OF ORANGE fill a stadium. The fans we have polled, received replies from and have spend big money to attend home games - WANT THE RALLY TOWELS. It will work! The STORM OF ORANGE IS COMING NOV 18!:yess::superman:

For the benefit of anyone who agrees with me about towels at Neyland in general, let me be clear. The STORM of ORANGE benefits worthy causes, so I'll back it 100% for this occasion.

My arguments are only against it making it a gameday tradition.

GBO! (then hit the showers... and take your towel.)

You got it! The fans can take part in and enjoy an epic event, help local communities and show visiting recruits how much we care in Tennessee. It's like a supercharged charity. The national attention this will bring to the charities and to Tennessee is tremendous! PINK HEALS.ORG and East Tennessee Children's Hospital GBO STORM OF ORANGE

All that plus a towel. It's a Vol towel. Why not?

Anybody ever see a UT Helicopter? I've got cars, boats, planes, a Hot Air Ballon, a blimp, a golf cart, but no UT Helicopter. Somebody do something.

Grey post. Joy has returned to Rocky Top. Season tickets look great.

That way everyone could wear them.
Fans would stay warm.
Large people could wave small people.
No reduction in noise. I scream louder when I'm warm.
Yes, make them beach towels and make money with logos on them. They could be called the verizonfoodcityfirsttenneseerallytowels
