The Gods have spoken from Pigeon Forge tonight!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it, friend.

I always find it surprising when our rivals' fans talk about Tennessee orange not appealing to them. Orange in general is the warmest, kindest, friendliest, most open-hearted color in the palette. That's not me, that's tons of psychological and sociological studies.

Every other color has positive and negative aspects. For instance, green is growth...but it is also poison and putrefaction. Yellow is summer and the sun, but is also cowardice. Red is danger, blood risk. Black is death (though in parts of Asia, white is death). Blue is faithfulness, but is also sadness and depression. On and on.

Only orange has no down side. Every psychological association for orange is uplifting and positive.

I think it's just jealousy and hatred talking. I think those other fans are masking their honest feelings when they see the color orange, for the sake of rivalry.

Thanks again for the sunset.

Go Vols!

That sounds pretty judge-y. i wonder what your book says about that. Also pretty bold of you to suggest you yourself possess the thoughts and knowledge of a so-called divine universal creator.

*Sigh* Let’s not bring religion into the football forum in this way. Asking for prayers in times of need is one thing, but this is wholly another.

Clearly, he was speaking metaphorically about the “Football gods” and not some sort of real entity.

I think it's a joke, we all know there aren't "football gods" and this seems to be a clear play on that. Anyway, God knows people's hearts and he knows how OP's post was meant (and how your post and mine are meant) and he judges the heart of it. If OP's heart was in the right place, God knows that. His judgment is perfect, so the whole judgment business is best left to Him.

When it’s Kentucky fans, it’s because they have the most boring, generic brand in college sports. So our unique color and brand baffles them.

They’re the wildcats. They’re blue. Not a unique blue like Carolina. Just plain blue. No one knows their mascot’s name or fight song and they have nothing else unique about them. They’re the wildcats who are blue. They’re basically half of the high schools in America.

At least Georgia isn’t so desperate for a brand identity that they stole our checkerboard. 🙄

But yeah, you’re right. Wildcats, Tigers, and Bulldogs are just lazy nicknames. Whether we like Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, or even Florida or not, at least they all made an attempt to go with a nickname that’s unique to their culture. But no one has a complete brand as unique as Tennessee, with the orange, Smokey, Volunteers, Rocky Top, the checkerboards, the coonskin cap…no one matches it.

And yes, our shade of orange is gorgeous.

I don't know, it seems the Football Gods forced us to wander in the wilderness from 2008-2021. A long time to suffer...we can only hope the Promised Land of Nattyrepeatal is just up ahead! Time to defeat the Elephantites and cross the Crimson river here in a couple of weeks.

All this blasphemous talk of football Gods, I think y'all need a good sermon Sunday mornings from the Reverend Billy Ray Collins;

THERE YA GO, JUNIOR HEATHERNS -- Y'ALL HAVE FUN SITTIN' AROUND TALKIN' BOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS WHEN OUR TAILS FIRST FELL OFF. HAVE YOU A GOOD OL' FASHIONED SINGALONG LIKE "IF YER HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT BECAUSE OF A CHANCE COMBINATION OF INORGANIC CHEMICALS 4 BILLION YEARS AGO, CLAP YER HANDS!² BUT
ONE DAY WHEN IT'S YOU INSTEAD OF A MARSHMELLER ON THE END OF THAT STICK...AND YER BEIIN' ROASTED ON THE DEVIL'S BONFIRE...DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY TO WARN Y'UNS!

BY THE WAY...I HOPE IT AIN'T RUDE FOR ME TO POINT OUT THAT THE ATHEISTS THERE AT "CAMP GO-TO-HELL² WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE YER MONEY...EVEN IF IT DOES HAVE "IN GOD WE TRUST² WROTE ON IT. BUT THE CHURCH IS THE ONE THAT'S FULLA HYPOCRITES.

I TELL YA, BELOVED -- THIS COUNTRY IS HEADED FOR SATAN'S RUMPUS ROOM FASTER'N OL' OKRA WINFREY GOIN' THRU THE LINE AT GOLDEN CORRAL!

IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF CAMP GO-TO-HELL, COME ON OUT THIS SUNDAY MORNIN' FOR A DOUBLE-DOSE OF THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH AT THE SWORD OF JOSHUA INDEPENDENT FULL GOSPEL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY...JUST OFF STATE ROAD 23, ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THIS HERE'S THE REVEREND BILLY RAY COLLINS REMINDIN' Y'UNS IT'S TIME TO TURN...SO YOU DON'T BURN.
