V O L S are back? (Stadium letters)

[vollygirl]

I thought Mike Chase of Calhoun's Restaurant Group bought them. Maybe someone can confirm or give the scoop.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Danny White is the man. It’s early, but I already love the guy

In Danny White we have old school experience, sensibility, and administrative acumen (his father was a successful AD) combined with a younger generation's assessment of the current landscape. We found a winner.

Now. Let's make sure someone in the UTAD is assigned to safeguard him against strong drink in public and wimmin of easy virtue!

They are bigger in person.

Was about to ask if anyone knew their whereabouts. They would look good on my lanai.

You look good on your lanai. The V O L S letters look good in Knoxville.

@Orangeredblooded and @VolNExile he's at it early.

What is strange about all this, to me anyway, is that these should be easy wins for any AD. People love the letters, why not put them back up? It's an easy win. Similar to bringing back the Lady Vols branding. The girls loved it, the fans loved it, it became a tribute to Pat's memory... why take it away?

Well, Falc, it's easy to explain why it was taken away to begin with. You see, common sense isn't common.

Thank you, VolNate, for getting us there with class!

(Spelling on VolNation is always a venturesome place to go.)

Just win, that takes care of everything. You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig, You can put the letters back up at Neyland and the product on the field is bad, they're just letters up at Neyland. WINNING TAKES CARE OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS. Just win.

I was seriously thinking this was a thread about how the football program is back to being relevant

Yeah, it was a bait an switch thing.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

OMG YES!!!

However, can someone PLEASE make it clear to Danny that's it's not THOSE letters we want back on top of Neyland. It's these! (I'm not on Twitter so I can't tell him myself).

Also, how hard would it be to make the perimeter of the stadium look like this again?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Danny White is en fuego!!!!! Hell yes boys!!!!!!

 

[rjd970]

Danny White is the AD that finally gets it.

You're not on Twitter so you're assuming that hasn't been pointed out already.

Yeah I see what you mean but this is a photo of a portrait. The original camera was a 35m Pentax? Hey it’s 39 years ago.
