If they were to promote it enough across the state of Tennessee, they wouldn't have any trouble setting the UT record for attendance at the Orange and White game this year.

According to this page, biggest turnout was 73,801 in 1986. (Found this after I wrote that first sentence, lol).

That spring game was played after the '85 team beat Miami in the Sugar Bowl 35-7. The excitment around that team was unreal until they started 2-5 the next season. They went on to finish 7-5 with a win in the Liberty Bowl.

Last year I went to my first one to witness the horrific Clawfense, this year, I will be attending to see the kickoff to the Lane Kiffin era.

It wasn't all bad. I mean, Crompton went 13/20 in that game for 250 and 2 TD's. But, I think I could do that against the second team.

The event, scheduled for the night before UT's Orange and White Game, was to feature a concert by Montgomery Gentry and Taylor Swift inside Neyland Stadium along with a pep rally involving the UT band, cheerleaders and football team. Tickets were $43.

The cancellation comes after some schools raised questions about whether the participation of football players in a pep rally at the concerts would constitute a violation of NCAA rules prohibiting special benefits for student-athletes. Several of the 16 schools had already informed organizers that their student-athletes would not be allowed to participate because of those concerns.

I noticed that some of the games were at night. I wish they would have another one at night. What's the chances?
