I know this is a completely irrelevant off-season thread, so don;t flame me for that. I'm just interested to see what VN has to say about this.

Are you in favor of CBJ wearing the famous orange pants on the sideline?

Personally, I love them, and i'd like to see CBJ wearing them, especially if he can right the sinking ship while wearing them. However, I can also see those who are in the mindset that Dooley sullied the pants' image when he sucked in them. SO what do you think?

I do have a pair of orange Vol sweatpants & two checkerboard p-jay bottoms my wife's aunt sent me a few years ago. :moon2:

"Could Care Less" means you could, in fact, care less than you do. The correct saying is "Couldn't Care Less". Meaning you care as little as possible.

I've heard that "could care less" is ok b/c its british short for "could care less, but i don't"

I am going to have to swim upstream against this vociferous current of anti-orange pants negativity and agree, in the strongest possible terms, with the original poster. Orange pants looked fine when Majors and his staff wore them (or coaching shorts, which were in vogue during much of that era); they looked fine when Dooley wore them and they would look fine if Butch Jones chooses to wear them. And, no, Dooley did not contaminate them; he honored Tennessee tradition but simply did not win with sufficient regularity to retain his job.

What I would be displeased with would be for Coach Jones and his staff to wear primarily black coaching gear with orange relegated to an accent color, something that, if memory serves me correctly, was a more Kiffenesque protocol. By all early indications, Butch is truly embracing Tennessee tradition and would not follow that road.

IMO...

I want nooooooo remembrance of DD...plzzzzzzzzzz noooooooo!!

Our coach needs to look like he has "attitude" on the sidelines...like the rebellious "half cat/half bear with a Volunteer heart" that he is!!!

...like he's gone into
"full buTch swagger mode" and that he don't need no stinkin' hand-me-down orange britches!

What about white with orange pin stripe and orange shirt??...that way
he'd look like a rebel bucking the rule of "no white after Labor Day"?? (LOL!!)
IDK...too Sat Nite Fever??

I'm open to suggestions, it's just that
"all black" might look like
we're in mourning...no thanks.

I can hear ESPN now...

groan...

Will look forward to seeing how buTch decides to roll!

GBO!!!

Lets just get 'em Butch, we're behind
ya in whatever all y'all wanna wear!!


Go Vols!!

KnoxVillian's definition is correct. Since this usage comes up frequently, please allow me to quote Wiktionary.com with respect to the etymology of the phrase "could care less":

"Clipping of "couldn't care less", which is literally accurate (having no ability to care less). It is a malapropism, due to the literal meaning of this version being the opposite of the meaning." It is also referenced in Common Errors in English Usage, (2003, Brians) - Page 49 proscribes this very common cliché as being "careless," the recommended form being "I could not care less" (could care less - Wiktionary ).

'tis another example of the extraordinary imprecision with which so many Americans use their native language.

Orange pants need not be made with the same cheap polyester fabric that was employed for those worn by Majors et al. If you recall, Dooley went the opposite route and had his tailor-made by a high-end men's clothier, with fabric that had been custom-dyed for accuracy of color representation.
