I'm a student a UT and didn't go to very many games before I got here. I have heard many of you say the crowd noice over the past few years has decresed dramatically. I just want to know from you that have been to many games if the crowd noice has started to come back. It seems pretty loud in the stadium like the late 90as early 2000s. Just wanted to know what all if the crowd noice is coming back and if we still have the fans that sit on their hands the whole game.

I think that now that Kiffin has come and pumped some excitement into the crowd again and life into the program that the crowd noise is definitely getting a lot better....I remember going to the Florida game last year and even before the game the crowd was so dead...When I went to the UGA game this year, Neyland Stadium was electric and that was the loudest I've heard it sicne forever ago

Hold on mad about----the errors put the legitimacy of the entire thread in question---especially if dude is a UT student. This puts the entire board in question. Not to be tolerated. :) Typos are acceptable---poor sentence structure (for a college student) and grossly mis-spelled words are not. We wouldn't want to contaminate society. If no one corrects him, how will he improve?

Like I said before, I created the thread at 6 a.m. I had just gotten back to my dorm from a long celebratory night. Sorry that the only thing on my mind was Tennessee football, and I could not wait till I was in a better state of mind to ask a simple question. 14,000 students applied to get into UT this year, and only 4,000 were accepted. Do all of you seriously think I could have gotten accepted if I couldn't spell something like noise or crowd? Most of you fail pretty badly,IMHO.

Dont take those comments to serious . A lot of Posters on here are just mean spirited . Overlook them . I have found by the comments on VN that most Vol fans are more concerned about the "product" on the field as opposed to love and loyalty to team . So crowd noise will be relative to success . Sorry for any misspellings to the grammar police .

Wow, i feel totally bad now. I was just pointing out the spelling error, and it's turned into a full fledged deconstruction of the English language.

I AM glad to hear that the crowd was being loud, as the last few years, it seemed to have been dying down quite a bit. I certainly hope that we start selling more tickets as well, because it was a little saddening to be watching on tv, seeing huge swaths of bleachers empty near the top.

Go Vols, sell some more tickets.

You know how badly you feel when you think you are right and profess to the world---and without really knowing--you stick your neck out---and you were DEAD WRONG? You should now. Dictionaries are relatively cheap. :eek:lol:

Not mean-spirited. The word was NOISE. Third grade spelling. Dude is a UT student? He needed someone to tell him to work on his spelling. There MIGHT be a job application to fill out--someday. Everyone should strive for self-improvement, and if you think you are good to go, you won't be.

I thought that the South Carolina game was so/so from a crowd noise standpoint...but the place was also only 80% full, so people were at least getting after it early considering how few there were.

I was sitting in section Q, row 62 for the uscjr. game and most of the crowd around me was sitting down, and they rarely cheered. It kinda bummed me out to be the only one in my section going nuts and cheering the whole game.:no:

volsfan223 i counldnt agree with you more.....the sc game was my first in 4 years and i counldnt believe that in the second quarter that everyone was sitting down and quiet. the lady behind my bro in law and me told us that if we didnt sit down that she was going to get an usher....are you serious! in the fourth quarter there were 3 times that the sc fans were louder than our fans were. i understand that it was cold and rainy but i dont believe what has happened to the mighty neyland stadium!

I was in the student section (Section F) and we were going crazy the whole game. I was with a bunch of recent alumni tailgating and a lot of them passed on the game because of the rain/cold. (I guess it's their fault they didn't bring their rain gear even though it was predicted to stop raining before the game). I actually stood up the whole game, because that's how it is in the student section. It was about 90% full I'd guess at kickoff and about 70-75% remained after half time. I think it would have been almost full capacity had it not been Halloween and a 7:45 night game with rain and chilling winds.

Probably spells it "loose" instead of lose too. Or "your" instead of you're. Sad to say alot of grammatical errors with college students these days.....at any college.

It drives me CRAZY when people put loose for lose. How do people screw that up so much??

On-topic, I noticed a couple of things.

First, I noticed that there was less booing than usual in the SCjr game. I always thought those people who were booing our players after a botched play were low-class and fair-weather, but I never thought they would literally be fair-weather fans.

Second, if you think that this new "fired up" feeling is going only to students, think again. Near my section at the end of the game there was an old guy, I'd say 50s or 60s, dancing in the middle of the section. Y'all might have seen him on ESPN because I thought I saw him in the highlights after the game. He was more fired up than the students in my section were, believe it or not.

And finally, I absolutely agree the fan noise is up. I know with me personally I'm a lot more vocal this year than I was before.

It was 21-0 and SC clearly had nothing. You can hardly blame the crowd for letting down a little.
