TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

The Big Orange finished eighth at the ultra-competitive Pac-10SEC Challenge defeating six top-25 teams at the event in Stanford Calif in early November Mansson tied for 13th to lead the way while Popson and Rohrback both tied for 27th Tennessee opened the spring with a 13th-place finish at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Championship in February as Mans-son and Popson both tied for 22nd UT quickly bounced back to tie for third at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic in March In Baton Rouge La Popson tied for seventh while Monberg tied for 11th and Thomas tied for 26th Popson won her second tournament of the season at the Bryan National Collegiate in Browns Summitt NC Tied for eighth and four shots back heading into the final day Popson vaulted up the leaderboard by firing a 1-over 73 on the final day in drizzling cold conditions to capture med-alist honors by one stroke She finished with a 70-77-73=220 (+4) total to lead the Lady Vols to a runner-up placement Rohrback and Mansson both tied for seventh to aid in the second-place effort A week later the Lady Vols had their most dominating performance of the season winning the Rebel Intercollegiate by 30 strokes as Popson and Mansson tied for first Tennessee set a tournament record by 14 strokes with a three day total of 1-under 863 Mansson edged Popson in a playoff for medalist honors as both tallied 2-under 213 scores Monberg tied for sixth at the tournament while Rohrback (11th) and Thomas (t12th) also managed strong finishes Popson continued to cruise at the SEC Championship from April 15-17 in Auburn Ala She opened the tournament with a career-best 6-under 66 and never looked back fending off a late charge from National Player of the Year Marta Silva of Georgia to win by one stroke with a 6-under 2010 A day before her 20th birthday Popson gave herself an early gift by becoming the second Lady Vol ever to win the SEC Championship In 2010 Popson tied for first after 54 holes at the confer-ence tournament but fell in a playoff to Vanderbiltrsquos Marina Alex UT finished sixth as a team at the league finale with Mansson tying for 17th Popson nabbed her fourth-consecutive first-place at the NCAA West Regional in Auburn Wash the first week of May taking medalist honors by five strokes and leading UT to second-place Her total of 8-under 208 ranks behind only her Mercedes-
Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events

Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

Benz score earlier in the season as the lowest mark in Lady Vol history The win made her the first NCAA Division I golfer to capture medalist honors in four straight tournaments since LPGA-great Lorena Ochoa won seven straight for Arizona in 2001-02 Popson paced a strong Lady Vol effort as the Orange and White captured second and advanced to the programrsquos 10th NCAA Championship Monberg nearly joined Popson on the All-Regiona Team with a tied-for-11th place finish Mansson tied for 25th while Rohrback and Thomas both tied for 52nd The West Regional was a homecoming of sorts for Thom-as a Spokane Wash native The rookie Lady Vol even recorded her first collegiate hole-in-one early on the first day putting her tee shot on the par-3 150-yard 11th hole right into the cup after making a
double-bogey on her first hole of the day No 10 Tennessee ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the Traditions Club Golf Course in Bryan Texas Popson streak of first-place performances stopped at the Texas AampM-hosted competition UTrsquos No 1 golfer rebounded from a slow start to place 14th however Monberg (t45th) Mansson (t88th) Rohrback (t95th) and Thomas (t102nd) joined their teammate at the national championships Those five could be back at the final tournament in 2012 as each of Tennesseersquos postseason participants returns for the 2011-12 season with Mansson as the lone senior The future is bright in Big Orange country The 2010-11 season serves as proof of how far Judi Pavόn has taken the program and how far it can go

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams
MASCOT
The official mascot is Smokey a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953 The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons The present Smokey the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the fam-ily of the late Rev WC Brooks of Knoxville is appropriately called Smokey IX Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot At Lady Vol events a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders
CHEERLEADERS
Tennessee is one of a handful of womenrsquos athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring
SCHOOL COLORS
The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore a member of the first football team in 1891 and were later approved by a vote of the student body The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profu-sion on ldquoThe Hillrdquo
SPORTSMANSHIP
Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredi-ent for wholesome athletic competition The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the Universityrsquos reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events
THE VOLUNTEER STATUE
The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service the statue was cast placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April 19 1968
THE ROCK
Unearthed in the 1960s ldquoThe Rockrdquo soon thereafter became a ldquocanvasrdquo for student messages For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to studentsrsquo public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd and Pat Head Summitt Street
ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP yoursquoll always be Home sweet home to me Good olrsquo ROCKY TOP-- ROCKY TOP Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed olrsquo ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still Strangers ainrsquot come down from ROCKY TOP Reckon they never will Corn wonrsquot grow at all on ROCKY TOP Dirtrsquos too rocky by far Thatrsquos why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar

TENNESSEE TRADITIONS NICKNAME
The formation of the Womenrsquos Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discus-sion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes After long consideration and debate it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo The University of Tennessee as the statersquos land grant university draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state Tennessee acquired the name ldquoThe Volunteer Staterdquo in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Anna and some 30000 volunteered The name ldquoVolunteersrdquo or ldquoLady Volunteersrdquo is frequently shortened to ldquoVolsrdquo or ldquoLady Volsrdquo for the menrsquos and womenrsquos athletic teams

ROCKY TOP
Over 40 years ago a husband-wife song writing team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg Tenn penned the song ldquoRocky Toprdquo Since that time the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams
Wish that I was on olrsquo ROCKY TOP Down in the Tennessee hills Ainrsquot no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP Ainrsquot no telephone bills Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP Half bear other half cat Wild as mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that
