Interesting Butch Jones Quote

[RockyTop22]

Butch says players will wear different jerseys Friday:

"If they play at a championship level, they'll wear orange. If they're average, white. If they're awful or not up to our standard, blue."

He also said he speaks with Peyton Manning 3-4 times per week, and hopes to be here the rest of his career:

"I want to be here the rest of my career...Maybe one day they'll have a street named after me."

I like it!

make them earn the orange!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is going on Friday?

 

[Orange_Crush]

I like it. Make the orange an object of pride.

Not a big fan of the blue, tho. Too close to the UF orange and blue. (I realize lady Vols colors have blue in them. If they truly are horrible, put them in pink, Texas Sheriff style.)

I think he means the Fridays before the Saturday games.

This sounds pretty cool.

Alot better than an orange dog...or those silly stickers some schools put on helmets.

I so LOVE this idea! I am confident that we are going to see some passion on the field this year.

maybe it'll be a baby blue or that may be the point, you play terrible, you'll look like a florida gator

Orange, the color of champions!

I believe he is talking about every Friday before Gameday in the Fall

 

[Majorvol23]

i approve of this

Good catch. :good!:

Coach Jones seems to have some creative ideas that actually make sense. It would be pretty humiliating to have to practice in that blue i bet.

 

[Tenacguy50]

100% agree.

 

[Orangesmokey]

I like this idea. I would think it would make the players want to work hard to earn that orange uniform.

Even if you can't read a depth chart you'll definitely know where you stand with bUTch and the boys. Funny that he went from white = average, to blue = awful. Not needs improvement or poor, but straight to freakin awful. Haha

Ok, I' just going to say it and I don't care what comes next. This program needs a jolt - I say bring on the black unis this fall. Maybe even the gray with orange lettering. I don't think it has that much impact on recruiting if any at all, but I would love to just come out with a little tradition shake up. No running through the T to Metallica, or stupid crap loke that, but some uni updating is in order. There.......that felt good.

I agree fade...we do need a jolt.

Instead of changing uni's I'd like to try something we haven't done in awhile...WIN!

 

[volfan4evr]

I'd make the awful players wear pink till they improved.

They don't practice on Fridays.....and it would be pretty confusing for the team if everyone was in 3 different unis lol

I am all ready sick of this off season. Come on fall....

Looking at a color wheel, blue is the exact opposite of orange. Maybe that's the point.

Butch has motivational skills! :yes:
