This is the best staff we could have gotten.....

we'd figure it out. Play it from the press box over the PA. For the halftime show, play highlights from other relevant games.

When Im in Neyland, there are no relevant games.

UT vs. whoever (is it)

 

[dickens821]

keep the band, get rid of the old farts who sit the entire game.

Amen

 

[BigPapaVol]

No band = No running through the T = Boo hiss boo

I'm not for canning the T ceremony, just saying it wouldn't matter to me one iota whether the band was at the game or not. I'd still enjoy the football game either way.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Again. Whoopee for you.

brilliant.

 

[Lexvol]

How about just renaming the band....Orange Swarm comes to mind.

I understand that, bu the band is equally relevant.

now that changes my POV.

What are they gonna do run thru the T in the parking lot?
Or leave the stadium after the ceremony?

 

[ShowMeVol]

I would be just fine if the band never again set foot in Neyland Stadium.

That's crazy talk!

 

[BigPapaVol]

yes.

wasn't really commenting on the band itself, just saying that it doesn't change the experience for me one bit. I can take 'em or leave 'em.

Similarly, I don't view the run through the T as the mystical ceremony that is portrayed by most on this site.

Sweet or not - our fans wouldn't do it.

Im sure.

By the way, I don't believe in Santa Clause!

Ha, we are even now!

Yep, it is already done. I don't like teams coming out to Metallica (though I have nothing against Metallica) or other music that is pumped in. Auburn plays WAY too much music over the crappy speakers at their home games as well.

No music, that is what I hate about NFL games.

Bands are made for college football.

Exactly.

I would be just fine if the band never again set foot in Neyland Stadium.

Just wouldn't be the same to me.

keep the band, get rid of the old farts who sit the entire game.

Ditto.

I just saw the Orgeron press conference, and I want to break something or go run through a freaking wall.

Ditto. :rock:

How about Ass Kicking Jam Masters? :dance2:

yes.

If you don't get chills watching the team run through the T, something is wrong.

I don't. I enjoy watching us win. Pomp and ceremony aren't my thing.

 

[lawvol - Gate 21]

I know that the Full Monte seemed pretty excited when Lane introduced him today

 

[Voldaddy]

I don't. I enjoy watching us win. Pomp and ceremony aren't my thing.

You obviously aren't liquored up enough before the game. How can you NOT be fired up to watch Yaw Yaw come storming through the T next year?

He may do a Superman impersonation and start ripping his shirt off while running in mid-stride, then do the infamous Hulk Hogan YOU finger point at the opposing coach.

I've been to several SEC games at their house and I personally think that the Pride of the Southland is BY FAR the best band in the conference. I love em......and would certainly miss ROCKY TOP in opponent’s stadiums!
