Friends in Low Places at the end of 3rd is the worst.

[zjcvols]

I don’t think the song is intended to provide energy. The energy comes from everyone singing along

Is that even one of his more well known songs? I had never heard of it before I saw it on twitter Saturday night

Honestly, I had never heard the Morgan Wallen song until today.
It's not a bad song, kind of catchy, but is it sing-along type material?
I don't think it is because of the long intro and the syncopated chorus...makes it difficult to sing along.

If UT is wanting to go to something more modern, we should go with Jelly Roll and Son of a Sinner.
Intro is less than 10 seconds, chorus is very memorable, song is about forgetting the past and moving forward to win - completely what the end of the 3rd Qtr is all about.
PLUS, I GUARANTEE if Danny White told Jelly we are going to use your song at the 3rd Qtr break, that dude would show up on game day and teach us all how it goes !!!

A big improvement over the Garth Brooks song - sorry that song has nothing to do with Tennessee at all and it is being used by other schools as well.

I actually like the selection of this - mentions the Volunteers and is representative of Tennessee.

And I don't get Copperhead road - has nothing to do with Tennessee either. Good song but no connection whatsoever.

One thing I did notice is that the "Third Down for What" appeared again. Some knew what to do, others were clueless.

The ideal third down song rotation is 3rd down for what, welcome to the jungle, sabotage, hells bells.

Yes, I was there. I've been there at every game since Low Places became a thing. I really don't care one way or the other. I am a classic rock fan and they probably aren't going to play any Pink Floyd as the 4th quarter song anyway, so there you go. Clearly there are people who like Morgan Wallen and like the song, and I'm sure there were folks that sang along at the game. It just didn't seem to me like there were that many and it seemed tepid at best - much different than the way Low Places was received. Like it or not, Low Places got the crowd involved. Even the opposing team's fans and band sang to it. To each his own, and if it makes people happy I'm fine with it.

This is where I’m at with it as well. The song itself isn’t that important. Just roll with it and participate

You think that main riff is slow and depressing? I deadlifted over 500 for the first time to copperhead road

I truly mean no disrespect to you but yes...it's terribly depressing...

Beats per minute are a paltry 78 (that's slower than a fat man's resting heart rate)
It takes 1:30 seconds just to get to the 'drop' and then it's a climatic let down

Do you think Copperhead road could elicit a response like this:

 

[Freiwillige]

It is not a terrible song but it is definitely not singable.

 

[Freiwillige]

I suggest '39 by Queen.

It's not a stadium entrance song but a rallying song, sorry that our state song is not a broken back mountains cowboy song or richard simmons jumping song

Your descriptions crack me up. Literally...laughing out loud reading this.

 

[kunsanvol]

No. You people are screwing with my Vols by adding this New Age, Southern Pop crap to the football game. This music hits about as hard as girl piss on a toilet bowl. I can’t tell the difference between you Wallen fans and the Swifties.

Where you're going wrong is that you think your opinion is fact. It's a common thing people do in 2024.

Taking a hard stance on something that only I can testify to. Bold. Stupid and bold!

Morgan Wallen is undefeated in Neyland.

 

[GAVol]

Morgan Wallen is undefeated in Neyland.

But he’s winless in my mind lol.

 

[utvolpj]

But he’s winless in my mind lol.

You just hate his 98 Braves song

 

[bluevols27]

Completely agree. Dude is a washed up commie, and most UT fans agree.

 

[bpalmer28]

Morgan Wallen is undefeated in Neyland.

Facts!

[volfeeva]

Prove me wrong.
Terrible song for motivation, no connection to Tennessee, sung by an Oklahoma boy.
Our recruits and players guaranteed hate it.
What does it have to do with anything? Better yet, why that song?

Have to agree for all the reasons listed. No connection, slow song- no motivation, could be a violation of the Geneva Convention if used along side any version of " Fast Cars'
