I didn't mean that wearing your team colors is classless...we always have a great turnout at Vandy, and I would proudly wear orange if I was there. However, coordinating an effort to rub it in with their players by accentuating the obvious is tacky and unnecessary.

Why not? That Vandy game isn't getting any attention otherwise. Good recruiting tool, national attention. I'm not seeing the downside. Just wear orange jerseys over white and it wouldn't be hard at all to coordinate.

Rub what in? Our support of our team. Or showing them that their fair weather fans are a joke?

Vandy should be thankful that a lot of Tennessee fans will be wearing black jackets by that time of year. It will make their stadium look about 30% full of Vandy fans.

I just want us to show up in force, and have our boys put them back in their place. TAKE BACK THE STATE!

But not necessarily national attention in a good way. Some will think it crosses the line into "not cool"-- and we don't need any hype for the Vandy game. Franklin and Dooley are gone. I'd rather see us just take care of business and move on to a bowl game. Or wear all orange and save the checkering for big games at Neyland, where it can be special. JMO.

My girl friend and I were wanting to go to the candy game but tickets were 65 (which is way too much for college kids). Does anyone have any cheaper they are willing to give or does anyone know where we can get tickets cheaper? We checked stubhub and other places and no luck.

How is it classless? If Vandys program doesn't have a supportive fanbase and don't show up so what? Ut fans are buying the tickets, let them do whatever they want.

Sorry i did not see your explanation earlier,or I would have responded with this in the first place.

First of all, it's Vandy. I had nothing against them, until a few years ago when the basketvols went in there ranked number one, and we got beat.

But that isn't why I hold a grudge. My grudge against Vandy happened when one of their punk students jumped in Tyler Smith's face that night. And Vandy did nothing about it. That is what I call classless.

From that day forward, I support any passive way (orange out or checker boarding Vandy) to, as you say, "rub it in their faces". They deserve it.

Before game starts on street will be a lot cheaper than $65 each. I would def come on and buy off street. With Candy down you should get bargain deal!!! :good!:
also check craig's list!!!

I'm not even looking at doing it from a "rubbing it in" point of view. I'm thinking about the national press it would get and how cool it would look to our recruits.
Heck, Vandy gets shirts printed every time they beat us :)

You know whats classless? Upside down power Ts on your recruiting board and showing them to recruits. Talking crap about us and our players. And acting like they own the state when they've barely won a couple games in decades.

We're not doing anything like that. We are just showing up in UT colors to send a message.

Hence, I don't have a problem with Oranging out their place. After all, we own it. And we own them.

I don't think this will happen. It could because I think there will be a lot more orange at the game, but it's going to be cold and buying a white tee shirt or polo is one thing, but I have an orange pull over that I wear to colder games and i'm not going to drop $80-$100 to go get a white Tennessee pullover or jacket. Plus a lot of fans will probably just buy the tickets on the street so who knows what section they end up.
