I wish they'd take the returns from Florida and sell them to the students. Get that place as crazy as it can be.

That's ALWAYS a good sign. When the students start showing up in droves, it tends to amp up the home crowd even more (mainly so they can be heard over drunken frat boys).

When was the last time Neyland was at full capacity?
This could be the first time in quite awhile. I'll be stoked if it's back up to our more than 100,000 range. Heck, I'm already stoked.

I hope they are hanging from the light poles. The wilder it is the better it will be for the home team. Heck I say take Smokey out to the Knoxville Zoo that week and let him get use to barking at the gators.

Finally Wes you've done it. Props to Wes everybody. Use your journalistic talent and get the message out that Neyland Stadium just MIGHT be back to a hostile and rowdy place. And night games will be termed "hell on saturday night". Think of a term more media friendly though. thanks

Fantastic sign.
We need to find some bootleg Four Loko and give those students an IV drip of it!
Can't wait to see the students go bonkers.

I used to drink Sparks but never had the pleasure of Four Loko.

Neyland hasn't been deafening loud since 06 Florida. This is great news to hear. Happy for the current students to finally have a game week like this.

And as we have discused here before, IMO, if we win, the goalposts, or at least one of them, go down.
The students deserve such a moment.
