Asking for a family friend. That mascot of yours isn’t claiming to have anything to do with Davy Crockett right? You know the great American hero you mfers ran out of town and stabbed on the back, who hated your ducking guts afterwards and basically went to Texas just to get away from you lying back stabbing pos, and wouldn’t piss on Tennessee if it was on fire.

The name does not come from Davy fricking Crockett. It comes from Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans.

From Tennessee SBNation
The ‘Volunteers’ name derives from the 1,500 troops from Tennessee that fought under General Andrew Jackson against the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. That same Volunteer spirit carried on when the war of Texas Independence broke out in 1835.
Again, men all over the great state of Tennessee took up arms to aid the Texans in their revolution against the Mexican Army. One such man was the legendary David "Davy" Crockett, a soldier and congressman from Greene County in East Tennessee.
Crockett is the personification of the Volunteer name. So much so, he was the inspiration for the logo Tennessee athletics adopted in 1983. Like so many men who fought in that Texas campaign, Crockett paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to the cause.
Your lying mfers. David is turning in his grave. only you mfers would name a mascot after someone who hated your guys. incredible

From History Channel:
Hoping to set the record straight about the reality of his life and change his folk hero reputation, Crockett wrote an autobiography and went on tour promoting it. When he returned and lost his seat in Congress, he famously said, “I told the people of my district that I would serve them faithfully as I had done; but if not, they might go to hell, and I will go to Texas.” And he did.
Basically telling them to geaux frick themselves 1800s style.
The truth is really much much worse.

And he wasn’t reallu born in Tennessee either but in free state of Franklin which broke away from NC, particularly because of whiskey rebellion.
Crockett was born on August 17, 1786, in what is now eastern Tennessee. At the time, however, many of the region’s residents considered themselves citizens of the so-called state of Franklin, a breakaway territory that had declared its independence from North Carolina two years earlier. Supporters of the movement—including Crockett’s father, John—pushed for Franklin to enter the union as the 14th U.S. state, but the fledgling territory fell just shy of the required vote total in Congress. Following a stint as an independent republic, Franklin was eventually reclaimed by North Carolina in 1789. By 1796, its lands had become part of the newly formed state of Tennessee.
