The University of Tennessee, along with several other CFB programs, have begun selling alcohol at football games this season. However, the Vols plan to “turn up” a notch by planning a “Black Out” that all fans can get behind.
Tennessee will begin promoting binge drinking at Neyland Stadium this year in an attempt to allow fans to forget where they are and what they are doing. The plan is for fans to get so inebriated at football games, that the product the football team puts on the field is irrelevant.
“We need to give fans a reason to come to the games,” stated Tennessee AD Philip Fulmer. “Other college football programs have had “Black Out” games in the past, but instead of t-shirts, we’re going to give our fans alcohol. They’ve even created a new drinking game called ‘start drinking and don’t stop’”.
The Vols have plans for hype up videos on the jumbotron, cheerleaders in the stands to motivate fans to drink more, and even a halftime power hour with ex-Patriots star Rob Gronkowski. Rocky Top just got a little more rocky.
