I mean the media/pr people for the athletic department get to make decisions about what is played in the stands and at basketball games tell you which timeouts you get to play and what you will play to go with the cheerleaders or dance team.

Same people that put the "let me let me let me let me let me let me" in David Alan Coe's sng.

I think they both happened when I was at UT.

Got rid of Disco, but got the D#@& wooo

Well I would be a poser if I walked around here and try to like I was from California and tell everybody I was raised in the city. If you have ever lived in a small town where agriculture surrounds you, where families have been in the same place for generations , where everyone talks with a twang that's my home town dude and I'm proud of it!! If you grew up in the city that's fine but you will never understand the mentality of small town southern people. We are not uneducated so on and so on.

If growing up in Lenoir City in the late fifties early sixties "city," then I guess I grew up in the city. Ran the ridges from Kingsport to Chattanooga growing up. My family were country people, but they weren't hillbillies. They all had sense enough to know the term is an insult.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me. I went to a VT game 3 years ago on a Thursday night with a friend and when VT came out to Metallica's "Enter Sandman", the whole place erupted. Their 67K were much louder throughout the game than any game I have attended at Neyland. I go to all of the big home games each year and none have compared. It was like being in Cameron Indoor on steroids. I hate VT, but the crowd was impressive!

Had nothing to do with the game. It was the battle of the bands that we got handled. I was directly behind pride of the south on 2nd ave and N.Carolina was clearly louder than we was. If you were there, it was clear to every other Tennessee fan standing on the street as well. I do see your point though.

And you wonder why NC was so much louder? NC's instruments were pointed at you; UT's were pointed away from you.

Read it that way, and it makes more sense.

I'm 28 and love Rock top, it's my ringtone!

As far as fight songs at other schools; what school has a fight song that is considered popular music? The reference to VT and their entrance... that's not their fight song. I'll take tradition over schools like VT who just change things willy-nilly because they have no tradition.

OK, back to traditions.


How about the cheerleaders mooning the opposition.

wait, lets make that........... the guys moon the opposition, the girls moon US.


Or they could try to get us to throw them beads.

Hmmm, how could they possibly get us to do that?
:run:

Well. I'm actually from Kentucky. I just know that there is a lot of good farmland there. My Papaw used to have a dairy farm near Sweetwater. It was good land for cattle and hay. Decent land for corn, too.
