Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl’s garish orange suit was lucky, apparently, as the Vols beat Kentucky Tuesday night:
A suggested anthem for Vols fans…
Once there was a garish orange suit
Bruce wore it to beat the ‘Cats
Bright and ugly, but we won the game
You can’t argue with that
Orange suit, you’ll always be
Quite all right with me
Good ol’ orange suit
Orange suit Tennessee
Orange suit Tennessee
:)
P.S. Yeah, I know, technically it’s a jacket, not a suit. But “jacket” doesn’t fit into the song as well…

Looks better than Pat Summitt, too.

It’s a Vol thing that you yankee/left coast types just wouldn’t understand.
I appreciate the effort on the Rocky Top parody, though!
GO VOLS!

There once was a bright orange jacket
That made quite a “Tennessee racket”
The coach wore the threads
his team, heretofore dead
rose up and the coach said “I lahk it”!

Brendfan - could you not use the common usage that it’s a “coat” ??? As in “a suit is made up of a coat and pants” ?

“Brendfan” … hmmm ???

Coach Pearl was on Fox Sports Radio last night with Andrew Siciliano last night, and was given some grief about the orange jacket.
Actually, he gave some of the history on the jacket. Former UT Men’s basketball coach, Ray Mears, used to wear the orange jacket for each season’s games against Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
In honor of that old tradition from a legend on campus, he’s going to do the same.
Which is just another reason why Bruce Pearl rocks. He has absorbed himself into Knoxville, UT, the students, and everything Volunteer.
If he’s not national coach of the year, I don’t know who it should be.
