From around 1991 or 1992 through about 1999 I would go in the locker room after games and after every win the team sang "We're From Tennessee" and I know that tradition goes waaaay back.

I've seen videos of the current regime with the team singing a very fast version on Rocky Top. Have they abandoned "We're From Tennessee"?

If so, that's disgraceful!

Anyone know?

I believe that song is reserved for beating Bama when they sing we don't give a damn about the whole state of alabam

Victory cigars are the only thing I remember being specific to a Bama win. Definitely sung "We're From Tennessee" after all victories.

That's not bad, it would be easier for me if you would put it in A B C order.

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.

That's cool too.

Go Vols!

Are you a VFL? If so talk to Antone Davis and tell him its disgraceful.

Don't write it on a board that no one that has the POWER to change will read it.

But I would bet you are not a VFL and this is the only media that would listen, things change including traditions so move on.

The kids don't need a schedule what to sing to be sure they hit all of the traditions that has been started and or stop sometime in a history.

By the way what color is your hair?
But Jones keeps the integrity of all traditions. He says.

In the Fulmer era, the cigars were only for Bama victories. I have several in my collection, including one from the 5OT win in 2003.

I was at the game with my dad and my 16 ur old son, and we all smoked a cigar, didn't even cross our mind to save it. I got so used to us beating them, I was ready.

How many do you have in your collection?

My brother has a piece of the goal line from the Miracle.

Go Vols!

I have three cigars from Bama victories. The only year I was at UT and we lost to Bama was a miserable 6-3 game in Neyland. I have a lot of fond memories and keepsakes from my time with the Vols.

My son was conceived after we beat FSU!

Edit: That's not true.
