I don't want to be that guy losing my voice in the first quarter, especially since I'm not in mid-season form yet.

How do you, kind members of VolNation, prepare your voice to last the whole game? Or am I just a ninny that loses his too quickly?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Go to your local pharmacy and ask them for Entertainer's Secret Throat Spray ( may have to order it). Developed by a Nashville ear, nose and throat specialist years ago. Professional singers use it. Helps with throat irritation.

In the days leading up to the game, try to drink 4 or more liters of water a day, eat some bananas.

Day of - drink whiskey. Sneak some in, maybe. Drink lots and lots of water throughout the day and throughout the game.

Wow I really want to try this.

Would suggest original Ricola for during the game, as well. And they are easily sharable.

Post game, I recommend Traditional Medicinals Seasonal Teas organic Throat Coat (I find it at Publix). Disclaimer it does have licorice root in it.

A ninny is someone who cant deal with much hardship - physical, mental, emotional. You know, a Bob Stoops type.

Awesome. Will look into this.

Auctioneers use the water with lots of lemon in it.

It really works but LOTS of lemon is the important part.

A flask of lemon juice at the game could help.

Our fans will play a HUGE part against Bob Stupid and his sooners because we MUST be super LOUD all game long to make their O have as many mistakes and penalties as possible!

Be proud and stay LOUD and show the world why Tennessee fans are the best on the planet.

You need to wake up each morning at 5:45. Take care of yo business and be outside by 6:00.

Start with some light calisthenics, just to get the blood flowing: 20-30 jumping jacks, a little jogging in place, lunges, squat-thrusts. Gargling action and some wow-wows.

By 6:10, you want to be on the road. Set an easy initial pace, enough to get your heart and lungs going well, but not so much that you can't yodel a little.

After the first mile or two, 15 minutes of running, time to find the new gear: let's call it overdrive. Drop your hands to waist level and stretch the stride, get into some heavy duty jody calls. I personally recommend anything involving the words "airborne" and "ranger" and "guts" and "danger," but you should go with whatever motivates you.

Keep that up for about 30 minutes, really shake those cords out well and build up some stamina.

At the 45:00 mark, ease off on the throttle, bring it back down to that bouncing jog. Quiet time, let those throat and jaw muscles relax.

Ten minutes of that, then drop into a walk. Shoulders back, head up, big arm swings. Belt out some Rocky Top and a God Bless the USA at full volume.

Stretch really well before finishing up...this enhances your flexibility, balance, and quickness. Try "Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore," and "Batty Bertle Bumpers bites brambles before breakfast."

Take it inside, gargle twice with tepid salt water, then go have some breakfast. No juice or coffee until after you've had a little milk, to coat and protect the vocal cords.

Repeat daily for 20 years.

Then you'll be fine for an unlimited amount of yelling.

Go Vols!

Halls throat lozenges will keep you from losing your voice. Use before, during and after the game.

Are you upper deck? If so, forget yelling and stomp both feet. I don't know why we stopped doing this. It's deafening. The stupid turd down for what finger pointing thing hasn't helped.

There's nothing funnier than watching a bunch of people with no rhythm do that finger pointing thing.
