While the Tennessee football program started play in 1891, it was not until 1902 following a 10-6 win over Georgia Tech that a writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution called the team from Knoxville, the Volunteers. By 1905 the University had officially adopted the name. Most Tennessee fans know the story behind the name. it is one of the things they learn from birth, along with the lyrics to Rocky Top and General Neyland’s game Maxims. But it is important to remember the history, just as we remember the championships and legendary coaches and players. The Volunteer is more than just a mascot. It is a testament to the brave men who went beyond the beautiful rolling hills and deep valleys of this great state to serve causes greater than themselves.
