Should have just piped in some cool pop music by Perry Cumo or Nat King Cole to get the crowd crunk!

Just imagine how hype Johny Majors and George Cafego would have been! We prolly would have had more undefeated seasons.

That's what the kids would've wanted. We could have a tradition of jitterbugging.

Nice pic! Anybody know where to find that old pic of the fans holding a sign that says "Roll Vols"? Bamer stole that from us!

If the Pride had raised a ruckus while Neyland was in charge they would have been sent packing. Suspended for the next game, maybe more....the General would have brought in the Knox High or Rule High band as a sub.

Letter to the Editor? The train station is that-a-way..

Well, I have to throw the :bs: flag on that one.

Neyland would have gone up to the booth pumping out sucky canned music when the DAWGS we're dissing the VOLS pre-game, grabbed the stupid DJ by the neck, flung him out, and slammed the door so hard it would have knocked his azz all the way off campus.

In my own experience, going all the way back to the end of Andy Holt's presidency of the University of Tennessee (We're going to find the very best replacement possible for Dr. Holt, whether from in-house or from across America); very little that comes out of the UT Information Department, UT Administration, and most assuredly the UT Marketing Department is the whole truth. Marketing especially doesn't care what the real truth is, only what they can get folks to believe is the truth. For them, that is the truth, even if it's a lie.

I believe Band Director Gary Sousa, Drum Major Jessica Henderson and the whole Pride of the Southland Marching Band over the UT liars club any day, all day, every day.

UT band members ask for better treatment from university

UT got caught with their pants down and wrote a blurb to make it better.

Umm..you honestly think Neyland would have settled the score with GA with band music?

And "Sucky canned music" > Living On a Prayer x 6, Crazy Train x 4, and Immigrant Song x 3

Neyland would have settled the score with the DAWGS by whooping they azz on the field. But he'd have dang sure NOT settled for sucky canned music (any kind, all genres) when he's got a perfectly good, best in the nation PRIDE OF THE SOUTHLAND BAND MARCHING BAND live, in person, and available to strike up Rocky Top and smother the dissing Dawgs in a tsunami of home field fandom.

I hate all canned music at football games.
Makes me wanta :puke5:

If you want Livin' on a Prayer, etc , the Pride needs to be playing it. If you have to have words with it, let 'em bring in a vocalist.

But yes, Sousa needs to get involved in game day planning and meetings and he needs to update their repertoire.

I love the Pride, but the game is nearly 4
hrs long - with warmups and postgame that's over 5 hrs, so that's plenty of time to accomodate everybody's preferences imo.

And now it's been determined that the band actually got more time vs GA than they normally do. So this is all much ado about nada.

Okay, I've heard something about the band being gone but didn't read too much into it. I've been too focused into recruiting.

Can someone explain the situation to me, please?
