Shake Neyland Stadium on Sept. 24th against Florida

You mean like playing Rocky Top every time one of your players successfully ties his shoes ?

Cue the band.

We sing it one time. One time. We don't have to repeat ourselves, to remind ourselves of where we are, or who we are. In my opinion, having to repeat yourselves, over and over and over, just to be annoying, is infantile. Grow up. Play Rocky Top when you score. That's it.

Screw you Gators. We will play Rocky Top any dang time we want. Who cares what you think about Rocky Top and when it should be played?

For that reason, i have saved the links to the game threads from 2005-2015.

You can look back and enjoy them over the next decade as we have the past decade. It won't be as fun as you think
 
As a band member from 92-96, I can assure you that 93 or 94 is correct. I'm fairly certain I know the individual that started it and he was a trombone player.


Thank you. I knew it started after I moved to NC and that was in 92'.

But as far as it catching on with the crowd, it was a bit later. 97-98. You can go back and watch old games and not hear it. Back when times were good, no GREAT!
 
Too lazy to read the rest of this thread to see if anyone else thought the thread would be about the stadium itself actually shaking from extreme volume/jumping around.
 
And this is the dumbest idea ever... I forgot how annoying they were till the Bama game this past year, constantly trying to see through those damn things all game long...

That place will be so loud, I may have to drink extra bourbon during the game to calm the nerves.
 
It's a stupid stunt to try and take advantage of the crowd to increase sales. The AD comes up with these stunts with local businesses to increase their sales. Large #s of shakers will be sold to local vendors and stores. They will sell these at a mark up since everyone has to have a shaker for "shake Neyland". We need to stop trying to make the UF game a spectical and just win. Butch and the AD are more Pt Barnum than Bear Bryant

Absolutely right. In fact, we should all walk into the stadium with our right hand over our mouth and the thumb of our left hand shoved up our ass like total stick in the muds. Until we beat Florida, no one should have any kind of fun at the game...because, as fans, we don't deserve to have fun until our team wins the game.

If you don't want to buy a damn shaker, don't buy a damn shaker!

The AD and coaches are doing things that most people think make the games more enjoyable and or increase the game day atmosphere. They don't know the outcome of the games when they come up with this stuff. If you don't like it, don't participate in it.
