The grey unis had a new logo added to them: "Property of Vanderbilt"

Yea cause wearing non grsy uniforms helped us win all the other games. The players wear them not the fans. If they like them and want to wear them once or twice a yr they should be able too. It was horrible offensive play and horrible play calling that lost the game, not the uniforms.

The recruits like them, so all of your complaints are worth nothing.

And with a team run on "what the recruits want" is a team that has no leadership and goes 4-8 or 5-7 each year. And see how long those recruits keep playing hard. Or even want to come here. Like this year's crop, they will quit when the going gets tough. Don't want those spoiled brats on the team.

You'd rather just have all the guys we have on the roster now than the top recruits coming in who dig the smokey Greys?

Thank God no one who makes decisions for the team gives a flying **** what the people on these boards think.

2nd win in a row over UT for the first time since the 1920's and pre-Neyland. VU staking a claim.

UT O line is getting new tattoos on their foreheads today, "VandyCandy"

You're right so why reward those horrible playing players with their own special uniforms? I say reward excellence, not mediocrity.

Yep. Fulmer & Dooley kept thinking the same thing. Unhappy fans get changes quicker than you may think when the $$$ stops rolling in to the school. Grow up and stop acting like a spoiled brat. We suck for 1/2 a decade and need to make changes to fix it.

Just to be clear, what immediate changes are you suggesting?

You got all this from recruits (and our seniors who voted unanimously) liking flashy and different uniforms? Mmmmmkay.

So the problem is making changes and the solution is making changes?

Makes sense.

The changes in uniforms helped us play better? Seriously? Or are we just happy that our little senior boys got what they wanted again?

The solution is going to what made us good earlier in our history. Play hard for 60 minutes. Follow the Maxims that Neyland drove into his teams. As a team, there is no "what the seniors want" mentality. As a team this school represents the state of TN, not the seniors who are PAID (scholarship) to play out there. The kinder, gentler coddling of the players doesn't work. Do you think that Saban puts up with much of that except as a reward for another championship?

What's your point, beyond wearing gray uniforms shows a lack of leadership and proves our coach is soft? Are you mad about uniforms?

Are you suggesting "player's coaches" can't win? Dooley tried to be a hard ass and that didn't work out.

Are you actually reading the stuff you're posting? It has to make more sense in your head.

We're all disappointed with this season and yesterday in particular. But your anger and disgust towards a grey uniform is a bit misplaced I think.....and silly as hell.

We had a great recruiting class for next year long before we introduced the gray uniforms.

All three teams that wore the grays yesterday got beat. We need a coach that concerns himself with coaching the basics of winning football, not a gimmick coordinator.

Have you ever seen any clips of the practices this staff conducts? They give the players hell. Butch will berate our best players for not executing well enough. He straight up told AJ he isn't a draftable prospect because of the way he's been playing.

Throwing a bone to the senior class (who has been trough the worst period of tennessee football in decades) a bone and letting them pick the uniforms for their last home game does not constitue coddling IMO.

I'm not sure where your idea that the ew uniforms being brought in was a move to appease the current players. It was done to help widen the appeal of our brand and attract top talent to come play for us.

That too talent we've attracted is one of the only reasons to be optimistic about tennessee football at the moment. I have no idea why you'd want a coach who can't attract guys like Jalen Hurd, TK Jr, LaVon Pearson, and Dewayne Hendrix to come play for us and try to help us improve in the future.

Does that mean you have no response?

I'm just trying to follow your trail of posts in this thread and better understand, but you've ignored every question I've asked.

I don't mind the look in general but I'd prefer never to see them again. People talking about a new tradition, or a throwback to 1914 should realize that traditions are born from victories.

Bud Light said it best, "It's only weird if it doesn't work." It's not working.

Gimmick is right

If they were focused on beating Vandy, the idea of wearing grey should have never come up

This team should be focused on one thing and that's beating the crap out of every team they play

But looking good whilst losing is more important while groovin to the DJ
