Fulmer/Pruitt restoring tradition.. 1 Thing missing

What’s the chance of switching back to exiting left out of the T and being back on the other side of the field? Pruitt said he has to look at stats on it during one of his interviews at SEC media days. May have been kidding.

Uniforms - check
POTS primary music - check
Pro style offense - check
Tennessee football pride/attitude - check

Now all we need is the V O L S signs above the upper deck and we will be back on track. Call me superstitious, but we've gone downhill since they came down...

Someone should start a petition

Do you have any experience as an athletic director at a large university?

If you do I recommend you council our current AD.

All in good fun. I hope we get back to the glory days soon brother....

Then we'll lose a timeout in each half, we don't need less timeouts against them lol.

Not to long ago it really didn't matter what we thought about stupid $h!t like a timeout because of a jersey issue or whatever. We would just go whip a$$ and be done with it.

It's called playing your game and not someone else's!

GTFO

when did that end anyway?I am 40 and remember back as far as the ‘85 game and The Vols were in white jerseys (with orange pants) The Crimson and Orange matching the changing leaves that time of year struck me several years back. I know that’s an old fart thing for me to notice but it would be a cool tradition to restore.

My understanding is televised games in the mid 60's ruined it. Not many color TV's back then, and people at home had a hard time knowing which team was which. Solution: Visitors wear white. (nationwide, not just UT BAMA)

UCLA / USC went back to it recently.

I figure Saban knows that there are still black and white TV's in Alabama and he doesn't want to tick off his fan base.

I don't particularly like neutral site games either but considering how much money the schools are making from these games there's no way they're going to stop doing them anytime soon.

How much money does Knoxville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg lose on these games?

A real traditionalist would want TENNESSEE in one end zone and VOLUNTEERS in the other!

We stole the checkerboard from Alabama! At least they used it first! But theirs was red!

for the record Legion Field in B'ham had the checkerboard end zones in 1961 and you can find the photo of the Bear leaning against the goalposts and Billy Neighbors running by him!
Doug Dickey brought the checker boards to Tennessee in 1964!

But it is true that the General used to exhort his backs to run to the checkerboards on top of Ayers Hall atop the hill which was visible from the field!

Refs can’t get much right these days even with replay. They’d find a way to screw us.

I think replay is actually having a negative impact on officiating accuracy. It's making them a lazy in their calls, and they are becoming more reliant on checking the replay instead of doing their best to make the correct call on the field.

The one thing missing is the winning. Start winning and I don't care if you play 3rd Down for What, Play games on the moon or wear those skanky a$$ uniforms with the weird colors. Just WIN.

Well if we're going to erase curses, maybe we should go ahead and apologize to that 2001 LSU QB's voodoo shaman mother for hurting her boy in the SECCG. Forgot his name. Rohan Davey maybe? She hexed us after that game.

Oh... and someone needs to break into Derek Dooley's home and take those orange pants so we can have them destroyed or sent into space.

And make uttering the word, "individuals" on the Knoxville campus just cause for dusting off Ole Sparky.
