What Traditions will Kiffin keep?

[orange+white=heaven]

Baseball caps...Out.
Visors...In.

your brother is a smart guy :good!:

what kills me about the wooo is that most fans don't sing rocky top, they just yell wooo. if you're going to yell wooo, you need to sing rocky top.

 

[IHATEBAMA]

It's the Tennessee Circle Drill, not the Tennessee Drill, and if some Nazi "I hate marching band" coach was hired, it wouldn't affect the existence of the Circle Drill.

I do not think they were talking about the band. We are talking about a drill they do in practice. You must have been in the band or somthing.

 

[slobberknocker]

maxims need to stay.

The maxims will remain. They aren't trivial BS. Why don't we just get rid of the power T while we're at it?

 

[turn3]

Let's hope Kiffin never says "Playing like heck".

 

[velovol]

Hate to be sacreligous but at this point what do the maxims matter?
At 5-7 its not like the team paid close attention to them in the first place.

If they would have followed the maxims they wouldn't have been 5-7.

 

[rbroyles]

Krispy Kreme? probably out...

Will "Lean Lane" replace "Phil?"

This is not even a Fulmer thread, yet count on someone showing a classless lack of originality. Let it go, the man's gone.

I hope he takes back the tradition of Neyland being the toughest SOB of a place to play for visiting teams. I hope he brings back the tradition of UT fans in their seats well past halftime of rival games against Florida & Bama at home. I hope he is able to enhance the pre-game festivities to get the crowd into a frenzy before the band creates the T and not just when they create the T. I want the tradition of Neyland rocking at all hours on gameday!!

I hope he takes back the tradition of Neyland being the toughest SOB of a place to play for opposing teams. I hope he brings back the tradition of UT fans in their seats well past halftime of rival games against Florida & Bama at home. I hope he is able to enhance the pre-game frestivities to get the crowd into a frenzy before the band creates the T and not just when they create the T.

The Vol Walk, the Maxims, the Salute to the Hill, Running through the T, the Pregame Band Show, the Last Tackle, etc. have become traditions because they are meaningful to Tennessee fans and players. They are part of the game day experience, and to drop any of them is to lose a part of that experience. We have one of if not the best game day experiences in college football, why would anyone want to diminish it?

I have heard stories all my life of how non UT fans came to their first UT game and became hooked for life because of the atmosphere of Neyland Stadium. Then there is the attraction to recruits. I have heard player after player cite the traditions and the game day atmosphere as a significant influence on their choice of UT.

Call me a sentimentalist old schooler if you want, I do not care, just do not mess with what is Tennessee Football.

Take the name off the jeresy! Trash the orange pants...come out with a medium sized helmet stripe.....

 

[truefan]

I don't care what he does with the road uniforms, but he better not change the home uniforms. The orange jersey, white pants with two orange stripes and the classic helmet with the "T" must stay the same.

 

[Georgia Vol]

I would just as soon forget most of the traditions. Yeah, running through the 'T' needs to stay but the maxums no.

As was stated here earlier. The maxims define how Tennessee football is played - by the greatest coach in our historty.

The maxims stay (I hope). We just need to actually implement them on the field.

 

[dickens821]

If they would have followed the maxims they wouldn't have been 5-7.

QFT. Those should be rules of the game for every team. We are just lucky enough to have the creator of them have been the coach here.

 

[VolStrom]

I'd like to see the Tennessee walking horse make a come back. I also hope he bans all orange uniforms forever, they guarantee a loss.

 

[MystifyingVol]

I'd like to see the Tennessee walking horse make a come back.

They did that at the homecoming game this year.

 

[duckman398686]

OK, I tried to let it go with a one word, three letter response, but I can't leave it at that.

When I was 5 years old (42 years ago) and my Dad was carrying me into Neyland Stadium on his shoulders- and 30 something years later when I was doing the same with my five year old (now a freshman at UT), and even now, taking my seven year old in for games, it was not then, and is not now, all about winning ball games.

If that's all it is for you, you are missing out on something.

yep

 

[justingroves]

They did that at the homecoming game this year.

They do it at every homecoming.

The animal lovers throw fits about the walking horse.

It also tore up the astro turf and the horse is expensive to have around full time.

I think bringing the walking horse back would be great too! :clapping:

 

[The Dude]

I say do away with it because the horse is raised in Tuscaloosa.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

I think it'd be cool to do like an orange square checkerboard helmet reward system. Like what Richt has with the dog bones at UGA, and the buckeyes at OSU, and all those other ones.

Just tiny little orange squares or something, haha. Hell, idk.

Oh god no! I HATE HATE HATE those damn things! I think it's very "high school-ish" and it makes the uni's look ugly as sin.

 

[justingroves]

Just get one from Shelbyville then.

 

[badkarma]

The walking horse was nice but I have seen it fall a few times too, not a pretty site...

I hate the helmet stickers. Why mess with perfection? All we need to bring back are the "W's" to the Hill again!

 

[burg_vol]

i tend to agree with all the Bob Kesling talk...i know the sports are different but i spent all last year trying to figure out who 'Jamar Smith' was.
