Every University of Tennessee Volunteer fan knows how crucial the 4th quarter is during our football games. This is when we need maximum energy from the crowd to support our team towards victory. Unfortunately, the recent change in the 4th quarter song at Neyland Stadium has left many fans, including myself, feeling deflated rather than pumped up. We love Dolly and certainly want to honor her. The song meant to unite and energize us instead feels more like a dirge, dampening our spirit at the exact moment we need to rally the loudest.

Every game day, thousands of us gather with high hopes, ready to chant and cheer for our team. A powerful and uplifting song during the 4th quarter can be a game-changer. We have experienced this firsthand when a perfectly chosen anthem turned the entire tide of the game with its infectious energy. However, the current selection falls short of capturing this magic.

It's time for a change! As passionate fans of the University of Tennessee Volunteers, we have the power to influence what should be a high-energy tradition. We propose a vote among fans to select a new 4th quarter song that resonates with our collective desire to uplift and support our beloved team. Imagine the sound of Neyland Stadium alive with a powerful anthem, boosting our players and intimidating our opponents. This change would not only enhance our game day experience but also reinforce our reputation as one of the loudest and most spirited crowds in college football.

Let’s come together and make sure our voices are heard by the University of Tennessee Athletic Department. A vote among us—the true Vols fans who fill the stands every weekend—will ensure the 4th quarter song truly represents our spirit and passion.

Join this movement to energize Neyland Stadium! Sign this petition and let’s work together to choose a new 4th quarter anthem that will electrify the air and lead our Volunteers to victory.
