…but shouldn’t the uncool old guy be all about the old school orange on crimson? Maybe it’s just that no SEC coach wants to be the first one to oblige another’s request on something like this, and it’s a barrier that’ll have to come down against, say, Kentucky instead of Alabama.

the only thing that would have changed in the writeup would be that I swap the positions of the schools in the statements. I’d be equally disappointed if UT denied it. It just looks way too cool to have both colors out there.

I’m guessing there was a “but it might make them look better in front of our recruits” mentality to it. But that’s totally guessing.

Don’t take my bitterness in the article as a potshot. I’m happy with simply agreeing on this point and setting the playground politics aside. :-)

This will reinforce to the team that they need to play disciplined and that every penalty matters. It’s Kiffin saying, “I won’t cause one, so neither will you.”

Kiffin needs any more off field distractions.

I have no problem with that. We do know a little bit about tradition, regardless of the nonsense you spew back at RBR.

Read carefully, now. Before the advent of black and white television broadcasts, football teams wore their TEAM colors when they played. Tennessee wore their Orange and Alabama wore their Crimson. On a black and white television, that would look like gray and slightly darker gray. In the rain and on television, it was almost black and almost black. So the networks required somebody to wear white.

Now that television has more vivid color than the naked eye, it would be neat (and fun) to go back to TEAM colors and not home and away colors. In other words, if you mugs always wore your Crimson jerseys to play, it would cease being your HOME color and be the TEAM color.

And, yes, you could even wear your TEAM color at our stadium.

Then maybe they’ll finally replace him. Let him cover baseball; he seems suited for that.

Knoxville is a helluva trip, so putting up with seeing them in their home jerseys ain’t all that bad

I had a great time when we lost in Shula’s last year and an even better one emptying the place out last year

Hilarious, fanshot that one. Let’s get it on the front page!

Until I saw that we would have to take 15 on both kickoffs (each half). Now I’m not so sure.

just…..wow

I actually thought about doing that same thing about 30 minutes ago. Hilarious!
