People either love or hate zany and fun athletic traditions of the University of Tennessee Volunteers. This article reviews some of the most celebrated traditions of fans and the teams. You be the judge: they are fun, or over the head and odious?

The Big Orange craze goes all the way home before the first football game until the end of the basketball season, and many die-hard fans, it never stops! Loud debates on the new recruits, how do the coaches, and compared to last season next season will keep fans Vol UT rests while in the late spring and summer.

UT football is more than a game; flights for many fans, it's a lifestyle. Energy for each game built on the explosion of the time by more than 100000 fans line path to the Promenade on Thursday flights Saturday.

One thing is certain: the enthusiasm that is insane Big Orange Country means a lot of support for UT athletics, and the players and coaches know that the fans play a big role in the overall success of athletics at UT.

Another is the longstanding tradition of football UT's Pride of the Southland Marching Band. The game day, the group follows a sequence that takes paraded through the center of campus, in Neyland Stadium, on the ground, and ends with the “Opening of the T,” through which the football team running at the beginning of the game.

Many young footballers (UT and all ages) dream run through the pride of big T!

University of Tennessee fans also made “Rocky Top” to an athletic tradition of volunteerism. If you do not know the song before going to a game UT (not very likely, but anything is possible!), You certainly know at the end of the game. The other good plays UT fact, the more you will know!

In 1962, George Mooney, a former broadcaster Tennessee, began a tradition of UT when he traveled by boat up the Tennessee River at Neyland Stadium for a UT football game. The idea caught on, and soon so many people went to games by boat they began to call themselves volunteers navy.

Vol navy has become a giant floating tailgate party for often more than 200 ski and bass boats, barges and boats that arrive and drop anchor on each game of the day.

Here is something that appears, it may become a new tradition UT Athletics: UT Men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl (who is in his much-anticipated second season at UT), his players had spread to the output of Thompson-Bowling stage to thank the fans (fans both home and away), to support the team after their first home game, and invited fans to come back . And Pearl was just there to an exit with them.

How cool is that?! He has certainly taken with a lot of fans who were at the game, and Tennessee numbers brand increasingly important.

These are just some of the traditions that teams and fans to follow at the University of Tennessee athletic. Really, go see a game at the University of Tennessee is a unique experience that would have all kinds fan!
