Need to play THIS on BOTH Jumbo Trons instead of Okie Garth…

 

[joevols89]

Just play Baba O’Riley and be done with it.

Third Down for WHat!!!!!

Bad. You get a cow manure brick. Go sit in the corner until after recess.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Nah, need to go with this one. Perfect sing along song

 

[lifeisdeep]

That weak dick song? Never.

I present to you

Gonna go out on a limb and venture we ain't gonna start playing Rush at games.

 

[JohnWardForever]

The song sucks and so does the artist that sings it.

POINT! And grounds for dismissal.

 

[JohnWardForever]

How about the Beatles "Get Back"? (especially if you're SC last Saturday) #RooftopConcert #TheBeatles #GetBack

 

[aRmo]

How about Dixieland Delight? its a song about Tennessee

 

[VolsFan-TX]

If there was only a song about the area incorporating the mountains, moonshine, and a girl…

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

The song sucks, I don’t blame them. And all the suggested replacements aren’t much better. We need to avoid country music for the 4th quarter song.

Something edgy. I mean is Elvis Presely and his rock n roll just too much.

Everytime I hear that I cough up a little bile remebering Lyle Jones and that era of ineptitude.

While we're at it, can we get rid of the PA Announcer "It's 3rd down"...it's pretty bad when you can hear over the TV broadcast.

Turn down the volume.

That weak dick song? Never.

Song really sucks!!!

 

[northknoxvol]

Play "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus.......that is a great sing along song! She was born In Franklin TN

 

[rgvol]

How about Rich men north of Richmond

Please no overrated

 

[Rifleman]

Just play this! It would be unreal with 100k. Very catchy, easy to sing like a Sweet Caroline. Goes right into the chorus. Little sad though if we were losing. LOL

 

[WhiteRhino]

I will always say this right here would be great.....https://youtu.be/xvaEJzoaYZk?si=GdhFmJbSoSr-3q_V

[Butch s]

How about…Rocky Top

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Judas Priest…we all know the song.

Go Vols.

The Hellion/ Electric Eye?

Better by you, Better than Me ?

Dissident Aggressor?

 

[Special Ed]

Is there a special Bye week song for this Saturday?

 

[Russdaddy2027]

If we are winning, we should play the Mortal Kombat theme song and everyone say "Finish them!"

If we are losing, "Jesus Take the Wheel"
Jk

Perhaps the best options I have heard presented!

I'm not a Chesney fan, but that song would 100% be my choice.

 

[Hacksaw]

I, along with a lot of others, would like for it to change and have for some time. While I love the song, itself, I don’t think it exactly gets players or fans excited, locked in, or focused. Frankly, it kinda kills the mood going into the most crucial and final quarter.

Some people liken it to UF's playing of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down". As much as I can't listen to Petty for weeks after the game in the Swamp every year, it actually makes sense why they do it and it fits the moment. Tom Petty is from Gainesville and was a UF fan. The theme and title of the song are about not backing down; i.e. applicable to the moment. Garth Brooks has zero connection to Knoxville or UT. The "tradition" started because he played a concert in Knoxville. He played 29 other stadiums on that tour. Further, the song itself is not applicable to the moment at all. Again, love the song, but reminiscing and singing about Friends in Low Places going into the Fourth Quarter... misses the mark, in my book.

That said, I do join in singing and will continue to do so as long as it continues, as I’m not one to thumb my nose solely to thumb my nose.

Go Big Orange!

Totally agree. The song makes no sense in the context of the setting and the moment. That people sing along and seem to enjoy it is great. But there are a lot of other songs they would get behind and that would be more impactful, IMO. Almost any of the ones that have been suggested in this thread, for example.
