Never thought I'd have to say this, but Neyland Game day inside the stadium has sucked for a while. Actually from the vol walk in. I hate the barricades they put up by the parking lot because it kills a chance if you don't get there an hour early of seeing anyone. And then there is the PA announcer. Sounds like the EA sports generic dude they had for NCAA games. No character, no mystique. And then there's sterl the pearl.... No No and No. Piping some new age tunes in isn't bad, bud the whole sideline eh thing was a gimmick. He'll we has a slash wannabe play at the 2014 UT/UF game and as I thought it was neat, I was left trying to figure out its purpose. No more "Welcome to Rocky Top" dang it.... It's Fooball time in Tennessee! Bury the gimmicky nonsense. Its overplayed and its cool factor is gone.

Now I've always been told come with solutions, so here are my 3 quick fixes. Set up movable bleachers along the wall for the vol walk, make it such an atmosphere that nobody can contend with it. Please find an announcer that can at least do the Bobby Denton catchphrase so it can live on and another generation can enjoy it like I did. And finally, only play upbeat motivation music in the pregame, and get in sync with the band and make the atmosphere electric for 60 mins. Yes ultimately talent wins ballgames, but having the atmosphere that brings them in or makes worry can't hurt either.

My apologies for the legnth, but I'm shocked nobody else has mentioned stuff like this. If I'm just repeating someone well then you aren't alone.

We need to go back to the band and forget the piped in nonsense. I was watching the NC State vs Clemson game today and NC State's band was on point. It was awesome! The UTAD needs to start taking notes.

I actually liked it because it got the crowd amped up. The current song absolutely SUCKS and pisses me off every time I hear it.

They need a couple of third down songs and sound effects. Playing the same thing for every third down gets old so fast and it doesn't help that the one we currently have is awful. Mix it up.

The 3rd down song is terrible. Typical for Butch. I hope that is the first thing done away with when they can his ass.

Actually the players have the input on the song so point the finger at them. What the players really wanted was lil Jon but the PC folks put an end to that.

So the players have the input and we should blame them but they don't if non-players complain?
