Haha.

Maybe we need to call in a professional to perform a mass Woo exorcism at halftime of the first game with Appy State. Call it Appy Woo Out (instead of a white out).

I'd just bring it back when I can go to games again

 

[volger]

I'm a "little" bias, but it's not even close!
Rocky Top rules!

The best of the rest, I think, are:
A&M
LSU
Auburn
Georgia
South Carolina

These are the worst
Vandy
Kentucky
Arkansas

Does Missouri have one? 😂

Iconic in its own right. Been around before the 60's too.

To me it's not a silly thing to do like some think. It's cool to me but i am a nerdy dork though so I'm sure my opinion means nothing lol.

 

[QuickSmurf]

I will say this there is only one other anthem that makes me have goose bumps, star spangled banner

I'd just bring it back when I can go to games again

Which is Down the Field


Traditional Song Lyrics The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Nvm

Then why do they always sing the "On a hallowed in Tennessee, like beacon shining bright, the stately walls....." As the Alma Mater at every football game? Heck, I've even memorized the lyrics.

Traditional Song Lyrics The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Down the Field = Alma Mater.

Traditional Song Lyrics
Alma Mater

On a Hallowed hill in Tennessee
Like Beacon shining bright
The stately walls of old UT
Rise glorious to the sight.

So here's to you old Tennessee,
Our Alma Mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.

Traditional Song Lyrics


Alma Mater

On a Hallowed hill in Tennessee
Like Beacon shining bright
The stately walls of old UT
Rise glorious to the sight.

So here's to you old Tennessee,
Our Alma Mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.

What torches kindled at that flame
Have passed from hand to hand
What hearts cemented in that name
Bind land to stranger land.

O, ever as we strive to rise
On life's unresting stream
Dear Alma Mater, may our eyes
Be lifted to that gleam.

The link I provided says otherwise

 

[YankeeVol]

The official fight song, played as the team runs through the T and after scoring plays, is Down the Field

The link I provided says otherwise

Actually the link you provided is the one I copied.
The reason it is shown with a break is because the section played when we were....
NM. I know why 74 said what he said and he is not wrong.
If you are unaware of why it's separated, it really doesn't matter.
Everyone knows Rocky Top now and it's considered #1.
A debate of the original is irrelevant even for the off season and for you.

I'm aware you used the same link.

 

[chargervol]

Honestly, doesn't matter to me. Oh and sorry about the "and you" I realize it reads wrong but not what I meant. I meant not worth debating from me or you.
