Power of the T

Have success and stability. Tennessee has been down way too long. Basically 4 joke hires in a row, i'll include Kifturd, it's hard to overcome.

During his early signing press conference, Coach Heupel used the term “Power of the T” a couple times. Maybe this is tradition and I’ve just never heard it (I’m just adopted); or, maybe CJH has started something that is significant.

The Power T is a symbol, a logo that we all respect and love. But Power of the T is

Team culture

• A feeling of brotherhood amongst the players
• Sweat pouring out of an athletes body in the weight room
• The chills players and the crowd feel when POSL band opens the T
• The rattling of teeth as the mouth piece is jarred free by a UT LB meeting you in the hole
• That perfect route and pass that results in 6
• The team singing with the crowd after a big conference win in Neyland Stadium

What does “Power of the T” mean to you?

It leads the blind to walk and the lame to see!

LOL I don’t think big enough. All I wanted was to see the Vols win championships.

I'm almost 50. For as long as I remember I've been a UT fan... back to the late 70's. The term "Power T" didn't emerge until the mid-late 90's IIRC.

So for me, I don't need "The Power of the T" to define my fandom. It's in my blood. I know I'm now "old" to the younger fans but I don't need a marketing plan to let people know who my team is.

I know, I know....get off my lawn!

For me the "T" means Tribalism. Tennessee passion in a lot of cases is passed down from generation to generation. My grandparents and aunts/uncles were big fans. They passed that passion to my dad. He passed that passion down to me. I passed it down to my nephew and now Im passing it down to my sons. The power of the T = Tribalism.
