OK, you are Mike Hamilton.............

[Riversetvol]

you have absolute power to make changes to the UT game day experience.

What would you do?

1. Every home game in September kicks-0ff at 7 PM. Every game in October and November kicks-off at 2:30.

2. Fire Bobby Denton and get a P.A. announcer that actually can speak the English Language and pronounce players not named Smith or Jones' name.

3. Tell the airhead cheerleaders it is a privilige to run through the "T" before the game that is reserved only for players and coaches.

4. Tell the cheerleaders your job is to fire up the crowd , not get as many crotch shots of yourself on TV as possible. People come to see a football game not a gymnastics event.

5. Tell the TV commercial guy in the red hat that he has 2 TV time-0uts per quarter and they are limited to 30 seconds.

6. Eliminate the rap music on the Jumbotron, if I want to hear thug music I will go to a USC or NBA game.

7. Fire Bobby Denton again

8: Tell the POTSB to get some louder instruments, they're too quiet.

That hasn't gotten a lot of attention is switching the sidelines where UT is now on the West Sidelines and out of the blazing sun on afternoon games.

This also meant switching the students to where (as I understand) they might ring the first 5-7 rows of the South Endzone which is a great idea for when the defense is playing goal line defense or a FG is attempted. Most other teams seem to have their students on the first few rows of one endzone like this.

I think the Tennessee Terrace is a good idea but not so much the West Sideline Club Level seats. There wasn't much demand for the Club Level seats but having a chairback seat in the Tennessee Terrace section with inside airconditioned space and an outside terrace to sit/eat is a thing many fans will want.

Actually I would prefer our cheerleaders to wear thongs and go topless, and after every touchdown instead of the gay guys doing pushups the girls can use a double sided dildo and butt bang each other 6 times.

Walking horse before all games. Put ex-lax in oats the night before. Nothing fires up a crowd like an animal taking a shit.

Eliminate all woodwinds from the POTSB

All cheerleader crotch shots to be played on jumbotron

Sell beer

H'mmmm - how about winning every game in Neyland. The rest of the gameday experiences become much easier to live with, IMO..

[Voluble2]

1: Put Leggo and Ghengis in charge of the cheer squad. And we should have a minimum height requirement like they do on amusement park rides. Something like 5' 8" so we don't have to put up with any more smurfs.

2: Fire Kessling and replace him with a random senior citizen suffering from Alzheimers. The first fan who realizes a change has been made will win season tickets for life.

3: After the old guy contest we should see if we can round up Baghdad Bob to be our radio announcer. With the way we are likely to play over the next few years I think we could use his particular skill set.

4: Employ CGI on our replays to make it look like the refs are blowing every call that goes against us. Display their home addresses before and after each game. Sell handguns at the concession stands.

5: Announce that Fulmer has decided to forgo the rest of his buyout due to his love of the program.

6: Get rid of Sodexho and let local restaurants run the concession stands. UT could just take a percentage and not require them to guarantee a certain return. This would give us some local flavor. We could even keep one stand open for restaurants from the home town of the visiting team to use so that we could get Memphis BBQ or crawdads from LA when our rivals are in town.

7: Only silent commercials would be allowed on the big screen.

[Blacksheepvol]

regarding #1... sell PPV for the tryouts. It's likely to be a combo of Casting Couch and Fight Club. Leggo and G- do not agree on the ideal.

[volgrr]

Not much Hamilton can do past hiring the right coach. You want to get fans in the seats? Win and be competitive in the conference. Win and they will come.

[SoftballVol]

8. Release the documents from the internal investigation of Kiffin's behavior at the Super Bowl party and also his little ditch-clearing accident with the company Lexus.

9. Have plastic surgery to get a chin implant and have a steel rod sewn into his back to make up for the missing backbone.

10. Resign in disgrace and move back to Clemson.

[Little Dipper]

You forgot:

8: Tell the POTSB to get some louder instruments, they're too quiet.

They need more musicians and need to become mostly brass. TPOTSB marched 190 musicians last year. Most bands in the SEC have 250 - 300 musicians, some even more than that.

How about a 100,000 Vuvuzelas in Neyland , 4 hours of that and we would have teams submitting

Agree with 2, 6, and 7.

1 and 5 are outside the control of even the AD. The SEC sets games times with the TV partners and there's not a damn thing Hamilton can do about it. That was agreed to by the presidents when they approved the latest TV contract. Ditto for the commercials, the timeout guy is a member of the officiating crew and paid by the SEC.

As far as 3, the cheerleaders have led the team thru the "T" since the first time it was done. Every. Game. They understand what an honor it is.

[wallvol]

Sell beer and pour it on every sumbitch that even looks like they want to say "woooo".

[Riversetvol]

Understand about the TV, remember I said if you had "Absolute," power to do anything.

You are incorrect about the cheerleaders, they didn't originally run through the T. And I was there for the Army game in 65 the very first day the T was used in the pre-game show.
