Title: 'Member those YellaWood commercials??? Post by: Coupe De VOL on July 20, 2023, 03:45:57 EDT Every dang time I see a truck full of lumber on the road, I hear, "It's a disease, Jimmy" Some things ya just don't forget, I guess. I remember these commercials seem to always play when the Vols played on the Raycom game of the week, or whatever the hell that network was called back then. I maybe they played em during the Fulmer show that was rebradcast on the old SportsSouth.... I forget that, but I can't forget this dang commercial....

That's it, Jefferson Pilot, which I think used to be Raycom, but I might be wrong. It seems like Jeff Pilot more or less morphed into the SEC network, but again, I might be wrong about that.

Remember this banger of an intro? :dielaughing:

GameDay headed to Knoxville and listening to Lenard's Losers on the car radio. Good times. Title: Re: 'Member those YellaWood commercials???

Title: Re: 'Member those YellaWood commercials??? Post by: VOLMAN on July 21, 2023, 04:39:59 EDT Yep, I'm with TnPhil....listening to LL's on the radio on the way to the game. Damn, I've grown old. :dielaughing: :patriot: :powert:
Title: Re: 'Member those YellaWood commercials??? Post by: Coupe De VOL on July 21, 2023, 06:01:54 EDT Oh yeah, we have all grown old. LL show was a classic. I'd luv to listen to reruns of that show.
I didn't realize how many Vol games were telecast on TBS.... I can only remember watching a handful. I remember getting my first real job in the DC area in 91 and sitting in my apartment one saturday afternoon watching us play Jackie Sherill and the Bullies..... along with a 10 pack of tacos from the Bell. I can still remember what a beautiful day it was there in the outskirts of Annapolis. I'm not sure if I saw any Yellawood commercials that day, but oh that cartoon intro to SEC on TBS is priceless. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/College_Football_on_TBS#google_vignette (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/College_Football_on_TBS#google_vignette) Title: Re: 'Member those YellaWood commercials???

I did hear LL a few times on the way to a game, but that wasn't common. I only went to 2-3 games a year is a big reason why I didn't listen to him more. |
