New PA system next season

[ftsandersvol]

Just expect an increase in ticket prices next year.

 

[CPA]

Yes, many of us who have already renewed our tickets saw a 25% increase.

Grateful for listening to Bobby Denton, John Ward, etc. I suppose nothing stays the same.

No nothing stays the same; especially in the last 20 years, time honored traditions and values turning to chit.

About “It’s thiiiiiiird down!” I wrote to the athletic department and told them I did not care for it. It’s tired, and the tolling bell started somewhere else. I opined that if they insisted on the third down thing, it should be something unique to Tennessee, like the baying of a blue tick hound. Now, Neyland has… whatever is that horn sound.

I believe the horn sound is from the purge movie and the its thiiiiird down is pretty common around all college football stadiums now. Along with the DJ music, etc. I know alot of us here are old school, but we also have to keep with the times. Not only does it effect fans, but also recruiting as well if an atmosphere somewhere else seems more fun or "cool" to those we want to play for us

I'd rather not be like USC jr with the animal noises personally and stupid Georgia fans already bark like a dog lol

USCe (they're older than that California school) may play a cock crowing, but their football history reveals them to be capons. Georgia's mascot is a pitiable animal that could not survive in nature, nor would it have much of a chance against a bull. The unsavory behavior of Georgia fans exceeds their barking noises (they proudly sing about being drunk and obnoxious). The blue tick hound is a beautiful, useful hunting dog, and the sound of one in full throat is music to human ears and terror to the animal it seeks.

Do you remember the Smokey Howl or whatever it was called when they tried that years ago? It was really bad.

Smokey's on the prowl

 

[Tin Man]

Well, you're welcome to write to the Athletics Department and express your preference - bell, horn, siren, whatever.

Yes. I specifically remember it being used during the 2000 season.

Can we upgrade our secondary, linebackers, wide receivers and offensive line?

 

[tango]

I wonder if they will sell the pee troughs like they did the Stokley Seats. Guessing some folks might be sentimental.

might work for a sizeable mancave... lol

 

[dalton_vol]

I guess Dolly was the last straw lol. Man, this upgrade has needed to happen though.

i guess dolly was so mad, she donated the money. it's about time. the stadium sound is bad. how does that school not have sound.

 

[dalton_vol]

Regardless of what others think...i miss hesring that and miss hearing him call the game.

I sincerely despise the IIIIIITTSSSS THIIIIIIRRRDDD DOOOOOOWWWNNNN

I guess thats the thing now as we hear it in every stadium. And it is as annoying to me in those as well.

yeah, it's terrible. it's records and they push the button. we all know it's 3rd down. no reason to remind us. i love how when we're down by 20 points with 2 minutes to go, they still use the same 3rd down sound byte. it's terrible.

It took Dolly to fix Fulmer’s idiocy. We couldn’t even hear the legend lead Rocky Top because Phil squandered our finances on seat removals and penalty boxes in the upper deck.

 

[Vol737]

It’s entirely annoying watching something on the Jumbotron while the “background” music is so loud that whatever the message is from whomever is speaking in said video isn’t even nearly as clear as Charlie Brown’s teacher with a mouthful of mush. It’s ridiculous. Hope they do get this right.

NO.

Sorry, reflex reaction there.

That's it. Man that was awful.

That horn sound is horrible. It sucks so bad. A lot of what they do now just plain sucks. It's like they're scared to be original. They'd prefer just being like everyone else. The perfect corporate mentality.
