Neyland is an awesome stadium to watch a game in. I love going up there. The only problem is that its filled with smelly, slovenly Tennessee fans.

Whatever stink our fans might have will be more than overshadowed today.

That is rich coming from a Bammeroid. Most Bammers smell of soured laundry and dirty butthole.

he attended for a year then was appointed to West Point where he graduated in 1916.


Link to his Wiki page, very interesting and accomplished person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Neyland

quote:

Neyland Stadium at UT is not only named for The General, but its present form was designed by him. The plans he drew up for a major expansion shortly before his death formed the basis for all expansions that brought the stadium to its modern size with an over 100,000 seat capacity.

Neyland quote "It is my sincere wish that Tennessee would increase stadium attendance not by stadium expansion, but my shrinking the size of the seats"

I guess he really was Aggie. Impossibly narrow seats to boost capacity are definitely an A&M thing.

What did he have to say about piss troughs?

That turf does look really bad on TV, especially at night.

A couple of NFL teams have the same issue.
