Does anyone remeber the link to the visitors thread. thought it was up top but cant find it? never been to knoxville the day before the game, so im gonna need to know the spots to hit friday night.

Pretty cool shirt.. I saw another at a Hibbett sports that was about the same, minus the Volunteer Football on it and had a bigger power "T." With all due respect, I love America, but I'm wearing orange.

when will 9-11 become a recognized holiday like memorial day?

I'll still be wearing orange as well.

That LSU game after 9/11 is one of my favorite memories in Neyland. I was 13 years old so I hope I'm remembering correctly. Think that was the game that Kelly Washington went Crazy.

Anyway. I wanna say there was a flyover and a massive flag on the field pregame...but i vividly remember UT and LSU fans alike chanting USA USA USA together and and at full force. It was a great "puts things (sports) into perspective" movent. And it was awesome.

Tennessee should do like Oregon did and make Support the Troops themed jerseys and then give then to troops after the game. Such a thoughtful thing to do by Chip Kelly. In all seriousness we have the money to do it, its not a bad idea.

 

[orange parmejohn]

will the player jersey have an American flag on them or anything to commemorate(sp)?

 

[FSUDuck]

I'll still be wearing orange as well.

Selfishly, I'd be really bummed if my first (and probably only) game at Neyland was filled with people wearing navy blue! I want to see a sea of orange --- with a small army of green/yellow!

Why couldn't they make the shirt orange with the power T having the stars and stripes?

WEAR ORANGE PEOPLE!

I see the wish for a patriotic shirt, and I like it. Some will give honor to those lost by wearing a shirt, some won't.

by the way, I have to come down to FSU one day to check out the...ahem, scenery

Thanks for your service to this country

Dude, I'm getting home from Qatar on that VERY DAY. I'm sure I'll be way too tired to make it out, and I consider it a shame to miss any game. This one would be special.

 

[DuckinTN]

Should be cool. We did a Support our Troops themed Spring Game, so it wouldn't surprise me at all for us to wear the patch from that game. I'm sure Oregon will get involved in some way as well. Chip Kelly is a big supporter of our troops. He went on a 10 Day coaches tour overseas to visit soldiers. Pretty cool.

 

[volbo11]

I bet those Cal hippies would never do a shirt honoring the military. Rock on US fighting men and women

and kudos to Oregon for their support.

 

[UTK]

Much respect to our country but I hope 90% wear ORANGE. Go vols.
