3rd down for what
coaches
players
youth
resiliency
Depth
Experience
Process
coach speak
Kesling

I remember walking down the halls of our hotel in Birmingham, when we still played Alabama in Birmingham, singing I don't give a damn about Alabama, we from Tennessee, our after victories over them. We will be singing it agin but not in Birmingham. Does Tuscaloosa have hotels?

The team sang it after EVERY victory. Not just Alabama..............

Have you been in the locker room lately or are you basing this entirely on 30 second videos? Surely they were silent for the other.. hour and a half to two hours they were in there.

Huh? Did you even read my post? I said I used to be in there. Haven't in years......

Curious to know if they still sing the long standing traditional victory song.....

I was simply asking IF ANYONE knew. Do you know? Or are you just interested in bashing me?

I want to know how to get in the locker room, I've been to the terrace, and it is awesome.

I had 3 children crying at the WC game over those stupid things.

Your darn right I got me one too.

They are great to hang out back of you car or van.

No. They used to sing it after every victory. If it was a state school they would insert the whole state of such and such. If it were born for North Texas they would insert words like the whole school of Auburn where the whole school of North Texas. It was saying after each and every victory home or away

Could be right just never heard it about any school except Bama. All the youtube videos I could find were about Bama.

I'm 35 years old. I used to go in the locker room as a preteen and teenager. That song is more of a tradition at Tennessee then Rocky Top is

So as a pre-teen... you were in the locker room after wins? Around all the cussing, naked men, and cigars (another tradition after certain big wins) and who knows what else... you must have had some good connections.

I wasn't ripping your original comment at all...just making a statement but to say it's more of a tradition at Tennessee than Rocky Top is ignorant.

As a former UT football equipment manager from 2003-2007, I can confirm the song was sung after every victory, not just Alabama. I also know several schools sing a version of the song, so it is not solely a Tennessee tradition. I actually like them singing Rocky Top. I would bet a good portion of UT "fans" don't know all the words to Rocky Top. At least the team does now.
