Tennessee Tailgaters
The Hill
Since the 1800s, The Hill has been symbolic of the higher education in Tennessee. The University, founded in 1794 as Blount College in a lone, two-story house, had its beginnings on The Hill and quickly grew around it.
The main part of UT's old campus stands on this rising bank above the north shore of the Tennessee River. Neyland Stadium sprawls at the base of The Hill, between it and the River.
Years of constant expansion and development have pushed the campus west of The Hill. Ayres Hall, built in 1919, holds a commanding view over the campus and houses the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, and still provides the most dynamic and recognizable scenes on campus. Next to that building is the oldest building on campus, South Stadium Hall, built in 1872. Today The Hill is the center of activity for the majors of natual sciences, mathematics, computer sciences and engineering.

Famous over the whole SEC, most of "Just Some Fans" are pictured here. Click their photo to go to their extensive VOL web site. This and the following photos are mostly from JSF. I think it really stands for Just Some Fine People.

Rocky Top
Copyright 1967 by House of Bryant Publications
Wish that I was on ol'Rocky Top, down in the
Tennessee hills;
Ain't no fog or smoke on Rocky Top; Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, half bear, other half cat;
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop; I still dream about that.
Rocky Top, you'll always be home sweet home to
me.
Good ol'Rocky Top; Rocky Top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top,
lookin'
for a moonshine still;
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top; Reckon they never will.
Rocky Top, you'll always be home sweet home to
me.
Good ol 'Rocky Top; Rocky Top Tennessee.
I've had years of cramped-up city life, trapped
like a duck in a pen;
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top; dirt's too rocky by far;
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar.
