If UT had to give up a tradition, which one?

[peaygolf]

Helium supply chain issues / shortage, nothing to do with the color or anything. Plus, they factored in the environmental impact of releasing 100k+ balloons into the surrounding area.

I get it…..

 

[GoodlettsvilleVol]

Get another mascot.

That is the ugliest dog on the planet.

Get a collie like the one Timmy had.

 

[VOLtaism]

Mattress burning when a coach departs unexpectedly.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

It’s time to eliminate that cheesy brick by brick slogan.

 

[TJSVOLS]

I think playing Rocky Top after every score is a bit much now. Kinda wearing it out, especially with Heups offense. Not saying give it up but come up with something new after scores and save Rocky Top for beginning of games and after wins.

Most every team plays the same song after a score .

 

[Manchester Vol]

I bet after getting a taste of Heupel's offense last season, all the cheerleaders are in favor of dropping this one too !!!

So there’s nothing else the cheerleaders could drop?

 

[joevol33]

Losing to Florida and Bama every year is a tradition I’d like to give up.

Nothing more to be said

 

[Vol in LA]

None

 

[onevol74]

Paying incompetent coaches not to coach.

 

[aaronvol]

Rolling out donors on the 25yd line every commercial break. No one cares.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Bring Back the Tennessee Walking Horse!

This..we have given up a good one already

 

[Vol Farmer]

However, as Vol Fans, Rocky Top is like our national anthem. How bout them Vols baby!!!

 

[OrangeScare]

I wouldn’t care to give up on Checkering Neyland. Wonder when those black lunged losers in Kentucky are going to Checker Kroger

 

[Jackcrevol]

alabama

 

[keenobserver]

"It's thiiiiird down"

Bring back TDFW

 

[SD189]

Actually we play Down the Field after every score. Rocky Top comes in after the extra point

I tell people this often

 

[smokeymon]

Maybe we could come up with different Rocky Top renditions for each score, you know a Jazz RT, a Blue's RT, a rock-roll, Death Metal RT, you get the picture.

Nooooo!!!!

We should give up the tradition of calling the women's teams "Lady Vols." The term is antiquated now--and the LV logo is VERY old and outdated, and looks it.

Lots of colleges/universities used to call their women's teams "Lady INSERT SCHOOL NICKNAME." They've ALL dropped the term and just call their women's teams by the school nickname--all except us. The former "Lady Razorbacks" are now just the Razorbacks--as it should be, as, last I checked, the men and women all attend and play for the same university. We cling to Lady Vols because it's associated with the Pat Summitt era, and the diehards apparently fear that we'll all forget her if we drop the term. That's silly. There are numerous ways to remember PS, and we do most of them--starting with a statute of her outside Thompson-Boling. If PS were alive, she'd probably be the first to say, it's time to retire the LV name and logo. It's not 1980 anymore.

But shoppers know: there are never enough checkers at Kroger.

I don't mind the Lady Vols so much, but I do not like the blue trim. I love Pat but I never liked that color combination.

 

[Tin Man]

Alumni and fans posting questions like this to VN. Hard, I know, but I’d give it up for the sake of Big Orange.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Can't be man made. Not a renewable resource.

And there was a shortage; even before the Ukraine invasion.

 

[HarderKnox59]

Throwing cups, bottles and golf balls when mad at refs

The golf ball was staged aka Lane. The mustard container will go down in Vol lore and will never be forgotten or should be !

 

[Remy]

Losing to Florida and Bama every year is a tradition I’d like to give up.

My new goal for Vol football is to simply beat the spread against UF, UGA, and Bama in the same season. Heupel season one did not make it, I'm hopeful he may get one of the three this year though.

 

[GreveHaller]

Remove the woo. And if you're caught using the woo you are removed from the stadium and pelted with mustard bottles and golf balls

we havent been relevant since the woo started
