Return of the Orange Helmets vs. Vandy

The white helmet with the orange T is an iconic brand recognized around the world 1 or 2 variances from that is enough. Do not dilute the brand.
Jesus, can you people not see the point of the post. The OP said to bar the orange helmets because we lost wearing them!!! If that was the case then white jersey with orange pants needa to be barred because we lost to Arkansas.

Uniforms don't cause W's or L's

Sorry the point of the post keeps passing over your head.

I would be willing to bet only one of us plays golf for a living, and actually the whole left side moves together if you want to know where the ball is going.

To "fire" the hips first puts the butt of the club too far in front of you and the clubhead laid off and too far behind you at the point directional control is pure luck.

I absolutely have the point here. I realize some people do not feel superstitious in any way about things. But maybe, just maybe, if you hit a hole in one on your next round or shoot a personal best, you might want to do things that might allow you to recreate it the next time out. I'd imagine you might have a lucky ball, club, shirt, hat, glove, etc that you might use or an activity (i.e warm up, breakfast) prior to playing that you might want to use again before the next round. Call me crazy to think in a way as to want to bring the perception of future luck based on past performance.

Personally, I do not care if we wear them. I realize the paint doesn't cause you to win or lose. But maybe it does something mentally to a team that had a bad run in with them in the past if they get punched in the face at first while wearing them. Just a thought. Hell, if we come out in them it's go damn Vols and the same if we don't.

And finally, while I have no doubt you can teach something about golf (and get paid for it, making someone a "pro") getting paid to play it for a living is something quite different and not too many in the world are quite capable of doing that. So, if you are, cheers to you brother. I hope you make a ton of money and have all the success.

But when you slow down Rory's video with driver, you have to appreciate his lead hip disassociating first before "the entire front side just goes together including the hands." As long as you properly shallow the club by pulling down working toward the slot to begin the downswing and maintain the proper angle in the lead wrist you can avoid the excess layback.

1oz ground yellow root
3 TS of black gum berries
1 TS of possum urine
Melted Reese cup
Stir with Raccoon pecker
Cut it with cup of Old Crow

That will just about do it

Heard rumblings of the return of the orange helmet against Vandy.... Makes me nervous as hell given what happened the last time we wore them. Would love to cast out the USCe demons of the helmet but not sure this is the game to do it!

I don't give a rat's ass about any demons, it's just a butt ugly color that looks like Clemson's orange.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I highly doubt what color helmet they wear will be very high on the list of distractions for the team. Fans, maybe, but they wear the protective covers when they practice, so it really doesn't matter? If they color of the uniform/helmet causes a problem, then the problem is far worse that the uniform.
Agree.

I just want the coaches and players to stay focused on preparation and the game itself. Unis don’t impact the game.

I ilked the orange helmets but they need to wear them against a cupcake to get some Ws in them. Kind of like they started doing kinda with all orange.

Pretty risky, IMO. If we ever wear orange helmets again and lose a game that knocks Tennessee out of the playoffs, again, our fans will never forgive Josh Heupel. Sounds petty and maybe it is but the orange helmets were ugly and should be thrown in a dumpster
Forgot that we had precedent!!! All the more reason. NO reason to play games with the football gods, who have been generally pretty supportive to the Vols this year!!!!

If that's the case then the normal home orange and white, and all white need to be banned. In 2016 3 of the 4 losses were in all white. In the desert were in from 2008 to 2022 most of the time we wore orange over white at home and all white on the road.

Some of you guys are nuts. Uniforms and helmets do not win or lose football games.
By the way, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus are not real-----that you can believe. Carry on with your comments on helmets though

Seems like why tempt fate...I'm just channeling my inner Crash Davis. I mean, I'd rather see any of below before those bad luck, bad looking helmets.

Crash Davis: If you believe you're playing well because you're getting ***, or because you're not getting ***, or because you wear women's underwear, then you are! And you should know that!

True that the helmets don't win or lose the game....But wearing a a orange blob on my head wouldn't give me much confidence to perform my duty.
