More evidence of having the best fanbase in the world...

And his opinion of the crowd impact all stems from that 31-24 double overtime victory on Rocky Top last season.

Said Darlington: “At times, we were much more worried about simply KNOWING the play than we were about actually EXECUTING it. That night in Neyland Stadium, playing football seemed all but impossible, and that can be attributed as much to the men and women in the stands as to the uniformed men on the field itself.

“That night, as I boarded the flight back to Norman with Rocky Top ringing in my ears, I realized that I had been converted. From a man skeptical of fan impact, to a man in awe of it.”

I didn't realize at the time what a beast Sterling Shepard would become. 7/74/2TDs

Anyone who doesn't think that's cool is an imbecile.

Read this all you apathetic fans that don't get loud! Watch from home if you're not going to contribute to the home field advantage! I was at the OU game literally yelling towards fans who were d**king off on their cell phones in OT. :banghead2:

When Neyland gets rowdy, it gets LOUD. Orange Insanity

For decades, coaches have tried everything to prepare their teams for Neyland. Nothing comes close. Volunteer fans in Neyland are loud enough to drown out the sound of an F-14 with its afterburners lit. And we don't let up. We go from conversation drowning loud to ear-splitting loud. We cheer, we chant, we yell, we sing. We pour forth as if each game was our last chance to do so.

I love it! God help me, I do love it so!
