Tennessee at Georgia Game 3 Thread - 12 PM - SECN/ESPN3

LOL, that's one of the worst 7 foot throws I've ever seen...it's not just us fellas...good grief...
 
They've been wearing them for a few years, I was just curious...maybe Mike Rapp would have some insight.

From a 2014 Tennessean article.



Red, white and blue?

What happened to black and gold?

When Vanderbilt wore red, white and blue uniforms during their College World Series game in Omaha, Neb., on Monday night, many fans wondered what happened to the traditional black, gold and white uniforms.

After all, black and gold are the university's official colors.

The answer lies with Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin.

"My dad was someone who made sure that I understood what the American flag and what our country meant, and what servicemen meant to our country because my dad was one of them," Corbin said.

"I've just brought that concept into our program. We practice how to stand for a national anthem. We watch footage of soldiers and stories because, to be quite honest with you, we don't have what we have unless certain people go out and allow us to do so."

Vanderbilt has worn its red, white and blue "military appreciation" uniforms for various games over the past several seasons and donned them for Sunday games this season.

cool story bro'...:rock:

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
By the way, I was out when Andy Cox came out of the game, even though I couldn't follow pitch by pitch, I give Andy big props getting us to late in the game. Great job AC!!
 
Thanks Diamond. I'll go with it. I respect Corbin, seems like a Jerry Jones type move, but I think Corbin probably means exactly what he says, thanks for the link.

They also allow any military in for free on Sundays.

I feel like at least some of you guys ought to post some pictures of you wearing black and gold right now, though.

:)

I'm kind of a traditionalist on school color issues, but I'm ok with this. These days too many folks on college campuses see the United States in the wrong light and I appreciate anyone who is proud enough of the country to show appreciation for the freedoms we have and why we have them.

Best he's looked in a while, definitely...the story is Soto, his performance yesterday was the best by anyone this year and then he came on today and finished...if we had a better team people would be talking about it.
