Jones Wants The Fans To Call It "Fist-up Defense"

[BaldBiker]

How long has it been since the "fans" have been encouraged to do anything like this? It's time to pull ourselves up with our boot straps and support these Coaches and our team.. people whine about people not standing and doing anything, now people are whining about something that will bring unity and some sunshine to this program... yes I said sunshine.. I hate negative all the way round & our support, whether we've liked the outcome or not, has never waivered.. you don't like the fist up, then sit there... you don't like the woo, don't woo.. just don't come to the games or participate..

GO VOLS..
GO BIG ORANGE ... :rock2:

My guess is he is one of the sitters at the game. He is against anything that has people standing and blocking his view of the field.

My favorite was being told I shouldn't be yelling on defense in the student section, I repeat IN THE STUDENT SECTION!

God, I hope our defense is more offensive this year

It was purdy offensive last year!

Looks like a fist in the air wasn't always a bad thing. Lots of people seem to do it instinctively.

But anyway the fist thing it stupid....it reminds me of the black panthers....we don't need a silly gimmick like Vandy does "Anchor down". This is Tennessee!

Speak for yourself. I dont see it as a gimmick. I see it as a way to get the fans involved more which is something we desperately need at Tennessee. Outside of singing Rocky Top and the occasional unorganized wave around the stadium, we Tennessee fans dont really do anything but just sit and stand there during games. I like going to football games where fan bases DO SOMETHING. Just my thoughts. TIFWIW

But wouldn't it be excellent listening to Verne Lundquist sputter and stammer his way through an explanation on that one?

He would tie in a reference to Tebow and and Saban as well.
