Orange & White Game set for April 15

[NO SIR EEE]

Someone create a gif of 100,000 Vols fans sitting in their seats filling out tax forms while Josh Heupel & Co go nuts on the field.

For that matter, add in an army of accountants preparing a $9M tax form on the Orange team sideline. Heh, Josh needs the help. And can afford it!

Go Vols!

Except that his 2022 return will be for “only” 5 million 😉

Sponsored by the IRS?

Looking forward to the methadone.

So the O&W game is a full house this year right?

I expect it to be a record number. It was closed to the public last year and the excitement level is through the roof.

Do we know if they will be doing a time for fans to get autographs at some point during that weekend? I have a 6-year-old that would be very interested.

I want an all orange uniform team (including helmets and pants) vs the white uniform team, or something to that effect if that's too gaudy. I want to incorporate the Orange helmets at least.

I think the 1040 EZ is a thing of the past unfortunately

I Never want to see an orange helmet on a Tennessee player again. They should be at the bottom of the Tennessee River next to the goalposts

Never been to OW game, is there a charge to attend?

Not usually. Knoxville in the spring is breath-taking (Dogwood Capital of the World).

 

[Fightmaker]

Who remembers about 25 years ago or so, when we were trying to break a spring game record, and they were offering free tickets when you checked out at the grocery store? I think several businesses all over the area were sources of tickets for that game. They got something like 83,000 there that night under the lights. I think we could top it right now.

They haven’t in recent years. It used to be $10 I think for a few years in the early 2000’s.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Very disappointed that they didn't pair this event up on the same weekend as a home baseball series too. Could have been a wilder weekend on campus. But this is also my birthday weekend so that's cool too. Tailgate anyone?

 

[BigALWiLson]

If the tickets are available no reason to not see 80k for the Spring game

It's free no tickets

I think coming off an 11 win season and getting to see Nico play...we could easily see a packed out spring game

It would take at least some marketing effort like they did back then, but they could go totally standing room only if they put some work into with the electricity running through that program right now.

 

[BruisedOrange]

In the past, has the O-W Game been effective in recruiting?

That would be an added motivator to fill the stands on April 15.

Me neither, but I'm off that weekend. 3 hour drive for me though, but I may talk myself into it.

About 4 for me. Maybe a camping weekend in the Smokies if I can get a reservation

 

[OrangeTsar]

They need to put up safety netting around the field like top golf does just in case Milton let’s one fly 😉
