Tennessee Martin on Wikipedia

[USFJeff83]

I was looking at Wikipedia to find out a little more about our opponent and I found a "South Florida" reference that was quite amusing...

Athletics

Athletic teams participate in the Ohio Valley Conference.

The university mascot was changed from "Pacers" to "Skyhawks" in 1995. The reasoning behind the "Skyhawks" moniker was described thus[2]:

The first educational institution on the site of UT Martin was Hall-Moody Bible Institute. The school's athletic teams were called "sky pilots", a frontier term for preachers in that day, but perhaps the students were thinking of the glamorous flying aces of World War I.

During World War II, UT Junior College contracted with the Naval War Training Service to help train pilots, who completed their flight training at an airport located on the current site of Westview High School.

Red-tail hawks are indigenous to the West Tennessee region.

Red-tail hawks are also known to be the favorite meal of South Florida Bulls.

Prior to being known as "Pacers" the university's teams were called "Volunteers." The name was changed in 1971, largely due to fact that, on account of the former junior college status of the school, the teams were often referred to as the "Baby Vols."

And DP and Goldenbuc.  There's no reason to go telling all the minions.  We started it first.  Let it go for a while. It’ll be fun.

Leave it subtle.  That marks of class and intelligence.  If you crazy, it'll make us look like buffoons.  Less is more.
