Favorite Football Picture

Great game to be a student. It was fun and I was on the field after the game!

Yep, that was during my freshman year and I was sitting with a couple of friends in the student section as well. I am proud to say I was one of thousands of Vol fans storming the field and tearing down the goal posts.

It has been a while since Neyland was that loud. The '04 Florida game was close, but that's the loudest Neyland has ever been in the 20+ years I've been going to games.

If anyone ever gets a chance to watch a replay, please do. During overtime you can see the CBS cameras shaking because of the noise generated.

Went through every post on here, I might have missed it, but does anyone have the pic of Al Wilson staring over the line, looking for all the world like a hungry great white shark??? Thanks in advance.
 
I've got several good ones, but here is one of my favorites.

Go Vols!!!!!

As I look back at the cool pics that have been submitted, I cannot help but long for the cool uniforms that the mighty Vols wore circa 1997-1999. It is high time we get rid of those hideous stripes on the pants and go back to solids. Even the fit of the uni's back then was cooler. Look at pics of Vol greats like Leonard Little, Al Wilson, Travis Henry, and Tee Martin and tell me the uniforms aren't better back then.
 
the large numbers were definitely better than the small ones we have now IMO. i also preferred the more meshy look that tennessee and/or most teams had on the jerseys back in the 90's.
 
As the face of UT football changes and we move into a new era of our football existance, updating the uni's is a natural progression.

Nothing too drastic. I wouldn't dare mess with our helmets or the Classic "T" logo! But we should explore some other ideas with the jerseys and pants.

Ideas such as removing the stripes from pants (like the great uni's from 1997-1999). Also, adding the black outline on the numbers on our white jerseys (circa 1997). I think black jersey and black pants uni's would look unreal!!!

I truly believe that these long needed updates would actually help attract young recruits to our program. As fans, we are the backbone of the program and must do our part to make our collective opinion known. We must band together and make the necessary noise to make these uniform changes happen.

of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. Let me know what you think, please.
 
I too like the messhy looking jerseys from then. Several programs are still sporting such uni's...(Fresno State, etc.) I also prefer the larger numbers. Our 1997 white on white uni's were among the all time greatest uniforms in NCAA history.

unless i'm misunderstanding you, we still have the black outline
