I will give my all….

[Rockytopvol86]

So we all know about the plaque stating I will give my all for Tennessee today before the players hit the field. However, as I watch this app state game I noticed fans waving the same plaque . I also watched a game earlier in season of there’s with their coach wearing a shirt with it. Did they take this idea from us? Just curious!

came here to post this. isn't theft, its proliferation of being a vol

If Dale is responsible for this, then the rest of us should be okay with it.

And if we're not okay with it, we should probably just keep that to ourselves so Dale won't find out about it.

I think there's no mystery at all where the App State version of the tradition originated:
