Those lowdown, dirty Dawg fans will stoop to anything to ruin a good time, I tells ‘ya. From (I shit you not) “Georgia fans are trying to disrupt a historic Tennessee tradition“:
The Vol Navy is a proud and longstanding Tennessee tradition. With origins dating back over 60 years, Tennessee faithful sail down the Tennessee River and up to Neyland Stadium well before UT games, with drinks, music, and laughter abundant among the orange-clad Vol faithful on their dockside flotilla.
A group of Georgia fans are looking to add a little bit of red to the river.
According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, the “DawgNation Invasion on the Tennessee River” will take place on Saturday, November 18 before the Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers face off in Neyland Stadium. “DawgNation” has chartered the riverboat “Star of Knoxville” to accommodate up to 200 Bulldog fans. The itinerary calls for a cruise up the river for 2 hours, followed by an hour of dock time. Each ticket provides each fan up to 5 drink tickets.
… Now, Vol fans can expect to see and hear some two-fisting full-grown adults barking at them from the middle of the Tennessee River as they get ready for Tennessee’s biggest football game of the season.
Heavens to Betsy, Miz Scarlett… I believe Ah’m feelin’ a bit faint. 200 Georgia fans barking? Why, Ah nevah!
Coming from the same crowd that cheered when Nick Chubb actually got hurt and made fun of him the next time we came to that hellhole, that’s just rich. FTMF.

The only way that this could be a better idea is to get about 10 riverboats and park 5 each about a mile north and south of that hellhole they call a stadium. THEN we can disrupt that “historic” tradition.
Or, perhaps someone should follow Kirby’s instructions and “burn the boats.”

What’s the big deal? Do those necks think they own the navigable waters of the US? Imagine if we said “UGA fans have a tradition of driving to home games, how dare TN fans think they can drive on our roads!” I know many people today go out of their way looking for reasons to be offended, but this is a new standard in hypersensitivity.
I say we put a couple of 10 pound cannons on the front deck and go Jack Sparrow on their asses. A pirate’s life for me, go Dawgs! FTMF.

I can just imagine Lulu and Junior put-putting up that river in an orange bass boat.
I hate the “seating” at Knee-land. It makes an airplane seat in the steerage section seem spacious. Lulu would need 3 of them to fit herself in.

I’ve always wanted to tailgate on the river up there at some point. Not sure a 200-person party boat is quite my speed, but good for them. What we need are some old school U-boats to periodically harass the Vol Navy that afternoon.

That river is literally the only good tailgating spot in Knoxville, unless you enjoy:
1) cramming your spread into a median strip like one of those “an entire living space in 250 square feet” displays at IKEA;
2) shouting to be heard over an HVAC unit the size of a semi trailer; or
3) partying on Cumberland Avenue, which is basically Myrtle Beach without the beach.

I struggled with that comment for a minute. Thinking the gators should occupy that spot (and they do in my mind) I agree that conference-wide, you’re right. You want to hear some shit, get a bama grad of an older vintage to tell you what they think of ut. But not around women and children.

I have a house on Watt’s Bar Lake (the lake below Loudon) and we rented a houseboat that slept six. We hired a captain too who picked us up at our dock on Friday, took us upriver through the lock at Loudon and to the stadium. He got us anchored amongst the Vol Navy and then got off. We partied Friday night, great tailgating Saturday before the game, went to the game and partied in Knoxville Saturday night. The captain came back on Sunday morning and sailed our hungover asses home and dropped us off at my dock. It was a lot of fun, though a little expensive, it certainly was worth the experience. Yes, we had a Daweg flag and a Jolly Roger, cranked Dawg tunes and took a lot of shit.
