Really hope this teams head is screwed on straight because I'm afraid we could lose by double digits....

Ryan did you and Wes carpool? Are you in the stadium? If yes does the stadium look much different with their upgrades?

Wes and I did not carpool this weekend. I went to see my family in the area last night and today.
I'm not in the stadium yet, but I will be shortly. Like you, I'm interested to see what the stadium looks like following the upgrades.

Not into fashion but I hope our new coach will go back to all white uniforms on the road. All white pants with no stripes just orange Power T. Need to lose the orange pants on the road.

I am planning on showing the same restraint on this thread that I did on Facebook with all of the asinine posts that flooded my news feed about the presidential election. However, with the way I totally loathe Vandy, it may be difficult. C'mon Vols! Give them the kicking that we are capable of IF we put a compete game together. GO BIG ORANGE!
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

I won't say too much other than I think it'll be a good game. I'll keep quiet until I see what we look like coming out.

Tennessee is wearing white jerseys with orange pants tonight. Vanderbilt is wearing gold jerseys, black pants and black helmets.
So far, the crowd looks pretty evenly divided between UT and Vandy fans.

Fellow Vols, I'm leaving for work in about 25 minutes. I will only get to check in on the score occasionally. Wearing my Orange Power T polo and pulling hard for the BIG ORANGE. Y'all cover me and yell loud whether at the game or at home. We'll talk in the morning about the game. GO VOLS!
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

The upgrades to the stadium definitely have helped. The little hillside in the north end zone where fans can sit is a nice addition, and the new videoboard is a massive upgrade from the one that was there before. Personally, I like the FieldTurf, too.

Can someone snap a pic of the crowd a little before kickoff. I'm curious to see what % is orange.

It's not a big crowd atm. Vandy fans are confident here....

Looks like this is going to be a legitimately pro-Vanderbilt crowd for the first time I can remember. Still a decent number of UT fans, but the Commodores appear to have a clear majority.
