lol @ the flame wars in this thread over a sticker on the helmet.
I'm a fan of anything that gets our team motivated and produces wins.
Yes, yes, and yes. Alternate uniforms? Hip music? Helmet stickers?
If the players and recruits like them, or if they provide energy or motivation, then why should any of us care?
Bottom line, if there is EVEN A CHANCE that the idea increases our chance for success, then I'm behind the staff's decisions. I don't go to Neyland for a fashion show or a concert. I want to see an in-your-face, intimidating-to-the-opposition, top-of-the-best-conference atmosphere that encourages our young athletes to WIN.

Does anyone else think this looks awful?
You don't see it til you get hit between the eyes with one.
I LOVE the bricks!
Player Bio: Bowden Wyatt - UTSPORTS.COM - University of Tennessee Athletics
My dad played high school football in Kingston with Bowden Wyatt in the early 1930's. UT used to give all the players in the local high schools free tickets to games, and they'd hitch a ride to Knoxville, scalp their tickets and sneak in the game.
Grandma (in her high pitched, crackly 80 year old voice) told the story how Dad, Bowden, Blondie, Butterhead and others got caught climbing over the wall. Blondie picked up a brick and ..." smacked the Hiiiigh Sherriff of Knox County! on the head and they made it into the game! It's God's wonder they ain't all still in jail!"
Football players and bricks .... I like 'em.
