Third Down for What in the stadium for a big game is chilling. STFU.

Well, when the other team's fans/players are bouncing to the music because they don't recognize it as intimidating, it doesn't seem to be serving its original purpose...JMO.

Having visited Neyland for our game from 1994 through 2010, I'm pretty sure the atmosphere will be, as my man Gary Koch said in 2001, "better than most".

How 'bout "Kill the WOO!"

Because...there is NO "Woo!" In Rocky Top!

Peyton Wooed when singing Rocky Top at a Nashville bar. The king has spoken, the woo is here to stay. Also it's one of the first things they go over during freshman orientation and teach it to all the students

Girls in POTS started it...sometime LONG after I left school....seems sometime in the 90s, is conventional wisdom

Yep... the girls started it and, as we know, it doesn't take much encouraging to get rednecks to woo.

The students "WOOed" during Rocky Top when I was in School during the glory years. (1996-2001 - I know what a great time to be in college).

It must have started pre-1996?

Woo Origins:

Apparently a few band members from 1993 claim they started the Woo.

Both were in the Pride of the Southland band at roughly the same time, although they didn't know each other.

"The woo was just an exhalation, just a pull that instrument aside for just a second, and shout woo was something that me and about 8 other friends started doing about 1993," said Chris McGee who played trumpet in the band.

Eric Sampsel played trombone and he said he and his friends started the "woo" trying to have fun with a song they played over and over and over."

It has actually been investigated by a local news station.

Three East TN residents claim to have put the "woo" in the chorus of Rocky Top | wbir.com

It was not there in 93. Seems about 96 was the first time I remember it

Told Dooley to bring an orange dog to practice
Told espn to rig the heisman vote against PM
Told Hamilton to hire Dooley
Every third and Chavis call I made

Yup. And all the players do it. When I saw them do it is when I decided to get on board, until then I was in stark opposition.
