A man that I love and respect very much claims to have invented the woo. Apparently he and his wife were in Knoxville the weekend of a big game, and they were shopping at West Town Mall the Friday afternoon before. Part of the POTSB was playing in the mall that day, and a camera crew from either the university or a tv station was there. They were walking by the camera as the band was playing Rocky Top, and he “wooed” in front of the camera. Soon after, the woo took off and became a thing.
He claims it was because of him that the woo is now here to stay.
This man is my pastor, incidentally.
