Great point. Still wish we hadn't done it though. most of those people had been drinking 5 hrs minimum and some over twice that long. Fans were pumped inside the stadium as well as at home because we knew we had a chance to beat a solid opponent.
You are tight. No excuse for acting that way.

And in this "image of the century" where do you see mustard bottles, beer bottles and golf balls being thrown . I'll wait.
I was at that game. The Tennessee haters don't remember it, but I do. On the way out there was an Ole Miss fan running through the concourse getting in every Tennessee fan's face screaming "roll tide!" Not sure what that has to do with a Tennessee / Ole Miss basketball game but I wish I would've knocked him tf out.
Bama fans prefer throwing this around instead:
And then have the nerve to badmouth others.
Make no mistake, Updyke was a hero to a big part of alabama's fan base.Bama fans prefer throwing this around instead:

Beer sales are not the problem. Having a responsible beer selling program in place like the ones the titans have in place is the answer.
I did fundraising for a group for almost 10 years with the titans and the Predators. At both facilities we had to go through Alcohol training classes before we could serve. Rules were very basic in nature. ID everyone every time.,,serve no more than two beers at anytime to one single person and sales of beer concluded at the end of the 3rd period. We also were never allowed to hand anyone a can. We always poured directly into a cup and handed the customer the cup. I noticed CANS and Bottles were being thrown onto the field at neyland. That would never happen at a stadium where they took safety as a top priority. Ill bet after the SEC hands down whatever sanctions it hands down after this weekend things will prioritize with with the vols.

Make no mistake. Updyke was clearly insane but then again you have to question the sanity of a fan base that TP'S their OWN trees.
He might've been insane, but he was a hero to large parts of bammer nation. As far as Auburn fans go, I've met a lot of them. Most of them graduated from Auburn and were nice, sensible people. I've also met a lot of alabama fans. Some of them actually think they are part of the team. That's insanity.
Yes Ole Miss has redneck idiots just like Tennessee and every other team in the country. Except maybe some of those sissy Ivy League Schools.
Did you expect him to condone it?
Wow thanks

Alot of confusion seems to be coming from the fact of the direction the projectiles were coming from. Some have been spinning it like it was coming from the visitors side and that would lead one to assume that means it was Ole Miss fans . But the Student section is located in D-K on the "visitors side" of the stadium. It even says on knoxville.com "The Tennessee Volunteers have a huge student section, including sections D-K. If you are bringing kids to the game, it is best to stay clear of sections adjacent to these as well. " I guess you can see why they had to put that PSA out there. https://www.knoxvillestadium.com/seating-chart/

I just can't understand how "a few" fans managed to spread so much trash over such a large area of the field. I saw dozens if not hundreds of projectiles in the air within a few minutes. Those "few" fans must have been moving around the stadium like Buddy the Elf in a snowball fight.
Tennessee receives hefty penalties over 'unacceptable' fans incident
The SEC fined Tennessee hundreds of thousands of dollars on Monday in wake of an incident during Saturday’s game against Ole Miss when fans threw trash onto the field in anger over a call.

My daughter is a senior there and was at the game. She said the majority was coming from the student section but there were things all over the field. She said she saw one person in handcuffs. My buddy was 20 rows from the top with his family in GG and his daughter got hit with something. Said there was nothing behind them but Ole Miss fans. Read other firsthand accounts saying Ole Miss fans were throwing things too. Doesn't make it right but it wasn't just the fans in orange.
