Tennessee Athletics and athletic director Danny White have been on a mission to give the Volunteers the best atmosphere in all of college sports.
The V-O-L-S letters were returned to the top of Neyland Stadium, Lindsey-Nelson Stadium is receiving top-tier renovations, and much more. The moral of the story is that Tennessee is listening to its fanbase.
All week leading into the Kentucky game in Knoxville, fans clamored online for the slowed-down, spooky version of Rocky Top to be played before the game. The video had been circulating around Twitter and garnered quite a bit of attention.
Then, on Saturday night as Tennessee’s pregame light show was wrapping up, Tennessee did the thing…
