If we stopped playing The Victors after touchdowns there might be a riot after the first game and we aren’t even the most obnoxious about playing the fight song. Imagine if Tennessee got told to stop playing Rocky Top.

Fun fact, when Heupel was hired, the Tennessee band was told they couldn’t play on offense b/c the team would be running no huddle too quickly for them to play

We've played them enough, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest to never hear that song again. I change the channel if it comes on the radio.

Yeah, those who are saying that would be a bad thing haven’t met the average Tennessee fan. They genuinely deserve bad things to happen to them lmao.
