Hello, moderately wealthy Tennessee fan and/or fraternity house! Are you the type of person/bro who can't live without the Volunteers? Are you easily amused by rudimentary games of Scrabble? Are you willing to endure a heated argument with your wife over the safety and/or aesthetic issues of installing giant, electrical lettering on the roof of your home? Do you have a photo ID and between $1,100 and $15,000 in disposable income?
Then have we got the early Christmas gift for you:
These 8 foot letters that, together, spell out "VOLS" were the originals that stood tall over Neyland Stadium's jumbotron before it was updated to what now exists today. Each letter is able to be backlit with correct electrical wiring and has the potential to make you an icon in this community!
An opportunity like this won’t come around again… don’t pass it up!
*This set includes all four letters... V-O-L-S. Two sets adorned the original jumbotron, one facing north and the other south. This set, as mentioned above, includes all four letters, but if you would like to bid on specific letters, the second set is being sold individually.
Estimated value of the letters, according to auction ad: "Priceless." But if you act now, you can stake your claim on the entire set for the low, low price of $1,100, trumping a leading bid so far of $1,000. Or you can end this charade right now by plunking down $15,000. If that seems steep compared to the current bid, you have to ask yourself: Are you really willing to wait until bidding closes at 7 p.m. Sunday to get your hands on these sure-to-be-larger-than-you-think pieces of Volunteer history? Is that a chance you can really afford to take? I didn't think so.
