What Should Vols’ New First Down Chant Be?

Butch Jones wants the Vols to have a “quick first down chant” in 2015.

JONES: We want to develop a quick chant when our offense gets a first down. It's a way to get the greatest fan base involved in our games.

Easier said than done.

There are only so many options you have with a first down chant and creativity isn’t exactly at a premium.

We have a couple of options for you, then we’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments or tweet us (@AllForTennessee).

Option one:

“It’s first down time in……..Tennessee!!!!!”

GET READY TO COMPETE

Pick your champion (you can change it later). We’ll email you when brackets open.

No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

So I admit it isn’t that creative, but it does pay homage to one of the great Vol traditions.

Option two:

I can’t take credit for this one, as it was first mentioned on Twitter by @Michaeldheck

PA Announcer: That’s a Big Orange…..

Fans: ….first down!!!!!!

Like I said, it’s hard to get creative with a first down chant.

Let us know what you think or if you have any ideas for Butch Jones and the Vols.
