Tennessee football players did not appear in the now-famous Orange jerseys until the season-opening game in 1922. Coach M.B. Banks' Vols won that game over Emory and Henry by a score of 50-0.

I think it was an American Daisy, but I could be wrong.

So when Doc Holliday told Johnny Ringo that he was not a daisy, he really meant that he wasn't a Vol.

If I had to guess, Florida's colors are the result of a trip to New Orleans and a visit to one of the all male revue bars.

Alabama was originally going for all white since they knew they would always be holier than thou in their recruiting but admired the two color scheme after a severe catchup spill on their robes after a rally.

I don't think a bama fan could say anything since they are the "Crimson Tide".:ermm:

Word! Bama should have the Wichita State University's WuShock (Missouri Valley) mascot!


It looks like an organic tampon.
