We need a Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer

by Joel Hollingsworth on Oct 23, 2007 11:45 AM EDT in Tennessee Volunteer Football

Warren has compiled a bunch of YouTubes of the Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer cheer toward the end of last week's Alabama - Tennessee game. Go have a look and listen if you dare. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Anyway, it got me thinking. Why don't we have something like that? A cheer that's only used after victories, sort of a treat for a good game. The anticipation has to be unbelievable. Strike it up, folks. Now? Now! Come one, let's hear it! Da-da-da bump.

Yeah, there's Rocky Top, but we play that whenever somebody heads to the bathroom. We need a "special" cheer. One only used for victories. Ideas, folks. We need ideas.

there is one

"it's great to be a tennessee volunteer. i said it's great to be a tennessee volunteer"

it's not unique but it's better than making something new up.

That one's fine . . .

. . . but we need something unique, something led by the band that can only be unleashed one time per game.

Go Vols!

Post Game Song

"The Tennessee Waltz" IS our traditional post-game song. It doesn't exactly strike fear into our opposition, but it's a post-game treat none the less.

As for a Power Song after a victory, well, I sincerely doubt our fans would say "Gosh, I wish we could pull this one out so that I can hear that awesome song!"

This is SEC country where the fans would more accurately state "Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, I don't care if I ever hear that post-game power song again for the rest of my life, so long as we win this game!!!"
