If you are superstitious, 1999 is the year the Jumbotron was installed, and the letters were removed. We sucked until we put them back up.

Fans didn’t start to “woo” during Rocky Top until sometime after the 1998-1999 season.

I heard from an inside source that several recruits changed their mind and went a different direction when they got wind of the letters being removed.

Nope not even close! Those of us long time VOLS that pay attention know the last 20 years are from the Rohan Davie curse.

Rohan Davie's mom put a 20 year voodoo curse on us when we late hit him out of bounds in the 2001 SEC title game. This is the 21st year, voodoo curse is over.

Can't blame the woo. We're winning and plenty of wood have been heard around the world!

I have thought about this all season long but was afraid to say something, speaking of superstitious, LOL. You may be on to something there.
