HISTORY of "Running
the T": side of the field, close to their dressing room which entered the field on the 50-yard line. When Doug Dickey became Tennessee's coach in 1964, he changed all that. He moved his team bench to the west side, allowing the Vols to enter through a giant "T" formed by the "Pride of the Southland" Marching Band. When the Vols moved to the new dressing room quarters under the north stands in 1983, the "T" remained, forming from the north to south instead of east to west. The "T" has occasionally been formed on the road, most notably at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville and at the 1986 and 1991 Sugar Bowls in New Orleans.
