I always envision the Woo being the brainchild of the creator of other annoying things such as the wave, Justin Bieber, Sharknado, silly string, Pokemon Go and small legos that you step on in the middle of the night.

You crossed the line with Pokemon dammit.

Go on youtube, pull up the Osbornes singing Rocky Top. You'll not hear a "woo." The woo had to have been originated by a bunch of drunk chicks or guys that had more estrogen flowing through their lady parts than the drunk chicks ... not that there's anything wrong with that these days.

So, are you suggesting that we only play the Osbornes' version of the song? That would put the whole crowd to sleep.

Bieber doesn't fit this list. He should be in a category all by himself entitled, "The most annoying thing in the world".

Well, I am an Osborne fan. Osborne brothers, that is.

So far, I have not wooed in public.

When we get to the National Championship game. I might just woo publicly.

I used to be dead set against it. Now, honestly, I just don't care anymore. It's a lost cause and there's no point in getting worked up over what you can't change.

Musically the whoo is not written in the song, it is something that students added on their own because they didn't know what to do with the break in the lyrics.

Personally I hate it and never say it, but it is here to stay. Thank goodness there are plenty of good recordings of Rocky Top without the Whoo included.

The plain and obvious facts are that the decline of TN football came upon us with the proliferation of two events:

1. The rapid spread of WOOs during Rocky Top.

2. White cleats.

I'll add the Orange goal post pads to this list as well. One, they're the wrong shade. Two, when the pads were white, we won. Racist, I know.

If we win the NC game, I WILL Ric Flair woo and Fargo strut all night long. However I will refrain until my last breath from the "woo" while singing Rocky Top. It's just the kind of guy I am, you know, one that enjoys only females ... not that there's anything wrong with guys that woo and have more estrogen than their girlfriends and boyfriends.

Love Rocky Top, but hate the woo. Just me being a pre 98 graduate I guess.

I guess it goes with who is the most hated team. If you hate bama more your more likely to be anti woo and if you hate Florida more then your pro woo.

I could be wrong, but that would be my guess.

Hate the woo, but I'm in the minority of never liking Rocky Top all that much either. Actually I hate the song. Hated before it was adopted as UT's 'fight' song.. God, whose idea was that anyway...

Think about it from this perspective

The woo is not part of the song

It's just the entire stadium releasing an audible, collective sense of pure excitement

Would you tell Ric Flair not to Woo? Would you?

So with 70% of the vote in favor of the WOO, can the anti-wooers shut up forever now? Can we have a grass v field turf or uniform poll next? Maybe we can settle those for good too

I'd love to but the Periodic Table Police would arrest me :)

Following earlier reports that the claims for discovery of these elements have been fulfilled [1, 2], the discoverers have been invited to propose names and the following are now disclosed for public review:
Nihonium and symbol Nh, for the element 113,
Moscovium and symbol Mc, for the element 115,
Tennessine and symbol Ts, for the element 117, and
Oganesson and symbol Og, for the element 118.
