Our seats are in front of the press box and I asked about there being a restroom there and was told it for media only. Lots of good room down that first base side. SRO would be a good idea.

I've looked up there for several games and can't find Wilkerson. He's not right behind the plate I don't think. Which window is his? He needs to hang a little Vol Network sign a la John Ward.

He must be toward the 3rd base side of the booth. We sit on the 1st base side and I have not seen him.

Makes me happy people are looking for him. Deserves all the good that comes his way.

He definitely needs a banner outside the booth, some lights around the window, or something to call it out just a little.

Yessir, seems silly to some, but he's our connection to the game, old radio dude style. It's always great to see the Vol Network sign hanging and know that's our team on the call. Lots of intangible info and feel you don't get otherwise.

Some of my favorite days of the year are when we're on the road and I'm outside putzing around with outside projects listening to John call the games.

I'd say we can easily get this accomplished.

Wilkerson is fairly active on twitter, and Mike Keith is pretty interactive on IG and their text in/youtube shows. A few polite nudges would probably get it done in some form or fashion.

We saw that on our side…. Wonder if that’s the finished product…

I’m guessing it’s the finished product. They measured everything out and used a gloss paint and a matte paint in the design.

I prefer the orange and white, but the orange fades over time. I’m guessing gray won’t fade as quickly.

Welcome to the new world old people 😜. The next generation loves this look. Like most things in life large organizations and I definitely include church don’t seem to remember who pays the bills. And we cater to the youngens

Actually it is my fault. I said if you’re not give me checkerboards on unis or the warning track don’t put it on the dugouts. So you got a gray version

I ventured up to the Mezzanine to get out of the sun. Walked over to look at the work on the practice field. Had an usher approach me and tell me I’m not allowed to look at the football practice field.

I was like, are you serious? She says, yep. I said, I feel really bad that you work for a bunch of brainless idiots who would have you approach a paying fan and dare tell them such nonsense.

I’ll be calling the office tomorrow to find out who’s responsible for such nonsense.

You can’t just stand there and stare… dayum son! Just an occasional quick glance. Think… cleavage.

Just absurd. You can’t fix stupid but you don’t have to listen to them either.

People around us were told at Friday’s and Saturday’s game they could not place their coats on the wall above the third base dugout (near where it says Volunteers on the front of the dugout wall, but did not block the word Volunteers. See the photo showing the area I’m talking about before it was repainted this year).

Why? They were told it does not look good on television 🙄

Do not even get me started about this. I was one of the people they told to remove my jacket from the wall. My soaking wet rain jacket. Sure, I guess I'll just put it in my lap. 😑 That jacket has been hanging on that wall in bad-weather games for 8 years. You know what else looks like crap on TV? Rows of empty seats right behind home plate, but I don't see us doing anything to improve that situation. Could they possibly try any harder to piss off loyal fans??

Hey UTAD, you know what else looks bad on TV at night? I’ve noticed that one of the orange lights that illuminates a light pole behind the porches doesn’t work. Most probably couldn’t care less, but my OCD does.

Two years ago they told a friend they could not display the state of Kansas flag as Dylan Dreiling was rounding the bases after hitting a home run. My friend and Dylan attended the same high school school as they were both from the same town in Kansas.

If you thought that was crazy, I have another one. Another friend that, I kid you not, was Smokey during his undergraduate days, has football season tickets, men’s basketball season tickets, women’s basketball season tickets, volleyball season tickets, baseball season tickets, and is in some high dollar donor society where he gets to go to a party at the athletic director‘s house yearly, was told he could not put his probably 18” x 3’ long orange and white professionally made Tennessee banner over the wall in front of where he sits.

Remember when they used to have "hit the bullseye" and other signs on the porches? They nixed those as well. Imagine telling someone who spends that much money on a dang porch that they can't put up a humorous and non-offensive sign. BUT with such a long waiting list for season tickets, I guess they don't give a crap about keeping people happy.
