Yeah, I was thinking the
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's not like it's a big stretch to wear Orange in East TN. But at least everybody's got something to wear.
Yeah, I'll be sure to wear
Yeah, I'll be sure to wear my Club Gitmo tshirt for the occasion.

And I thought...
That this post was to commemorate the hiring of a new offensive coordinator for the UT football team.
Wear Orange
You guys know the great thing about orange colored clothes...
You can wear it to the UT game on Saturday... Hunting on Sunday and the to work for Road Crew On Monday...
Go Vols!!!
Chad, can you loan me
Chad, can you loan me something orange?
Why rent when you can buy? I'm sure there's a Wal-Mart near you, complete with officially licensed (and cheap) merchandise. Should you desire something a bit more 'upscale', a trip to the local mall or haberdashers such as MS McClellan to pick out just the right outfit may be in order.
and the to work for Road Crew On Monday...
Gee Joe, could that also be the DUI pick up crew?
Why rent when you can buy?
If my friends saw me wearing orange they would put in a call to Mobile Crisis.
I just wore my Not Dubya button instead.

Chad - DUI and Orange
Well yes Chad you cold wear your orange on the DUI road crew too...
and Gerald Jones might have some excess official orange uniforms he might be willing to sell since he is an idiot and was caught with a burnt out license lamp and smoking dope with a recruit in the car last night...
How stupid can one person be???
Cheech Fulmer and Gerald Chong?
Let's see how this plays out with our guys doping it up with recruits on the official visits.
Assuming Gerald Jones doesn't get kicked off the team, maybe our new offensive formation featuring his talents could be called the G - Bong, including gatoraid filled waterpipes, with a souvenier stand called the Big Orange Head Shop, a new fight song called Rasta Top, the team could run through a THC formation, and a bleary eyed doped up dog called . . . Smokey, for a mascot.
