Actually, the spacing is probably on purpose. UT wouldn’t be the first to use this slogan. It’s about making choices; you can choose to see opportunity nowhere, or you can choose to see it now-here. Its about attitude. Google it.
But that shouldn’t stop us from making fun of them about it!
#10 it makes sense (albeit cheesy sense) if it is written opportunityisnowhere — that way the reader has to actively put in the spaces, but the font changes in the UT sign messes that all up
I sent in the pic. It’s definitely a Tennessee player. The sign is over the double door going from the locker room out to the indoor football field at the football complex.
10. Is spot on, this is a common slogan. I have seen it in Financial seminars, and I’ve also seen a motivational speaker use it when speaking of life skills….
Plus its definitely UT as in University of Texas….
Stop it…its Tennessee and is a mistake. I am sorry, what works in “financial seminars” would not be used in a football complex. And if it is, that level of subtlety at a SEC football school may be even dumber than the spelling.
21-I actually played college football and this same phrase was put before us at our first team meeting. It basically is an attitude thing. Oh, and this was in 1995, so its quite old as well.
That is a little different than my “Hope” and “Change” – isn’t it? Ain’t it ironic, that Tennesse’s mis-print is actually the reality of my presidency… Wish I had a dollar for every one of those damn bumper-stickers we sold – I think I’m gonna need it in a year and a half.
20. No way that’s burnt orange. It’s clearly puke inside a pumpkin orange. Oh yeah, and there’s a big T on the side of the upper left helmet. But, don’t let the truth get in the way of you defending your boys.
This is hilarious. It’s about thinking positively. “NOWHERE” can become “NOW” and “HERE.” It depends on one’s perspective. Congratulations, 2 out of 27 Kentucky fans understand a simple psychological exercise in positive thinking.
Matt Jones should be embarrassed. 26 and counting, morons.
How about this concept: When the doors are closed, opportunity is nowhere. But when the doors are opened, the word is seperated, and opportunity is NOW HERE.
How about this concept: When the doors are closed, opportunity is nowhere. But when the doors are opened, the word is separated, and opportunity is NOW HERE.
36) The only thing humorous about this entire thing is idiot rednecks thinking they’ve somehow discovered a mistake by another and completely whiffing. I guess what is obvious to most of the English-speaking world, like subtleties of language and play-on-words, is a bit high-brow for your average Cats fan.
I guess it should be no surprise that UK nation has completely failed an exercise in positive thinking. Being on the wrong end of the worst losing streak in the country has a way of creating a pessimistic fan base. See you losers in Lexington.
37)Bruce is having a Moving Sale this weekend, maybe you could stop by and purchase some of his pictures from his family album. I’m sure you can find some motivational pictures for your next psychological exercise. It’s getting dark, you need to return to the van before the report you as an escapee.
Let me guess, on the doors to the bathroom, one says VOLS and the other one says HITTER? The doors going to the Sports Ad department must have STUPI on one and DEA.
How in the world are you all seeing a longhorn on the side of that helmet? It’s definitely a “T.” And if that’s not good enough, you can clearly see the Addidas armband. Texas is a Nike school fellas.
29. So by your logic, when the doors are closed Opportunity is NOWHERE, then NOW HERE when open?
Funny, when the doors open I would read OPPORTU and NITY is NOW HERE. Whoever OPPORTU and NITY are is puzzling. I think they are the two marijuana providers for the rest of the team.
Even if this is an exercise in “the power of positive thinking” it’s still idiotic. Spaces were invented to distinguish the difference between words ‘NOW”HERE’ and ‘NOWHERE’ are completely different and that space tells us that. ‘BOOTSTRAP’ and ‘BOOTS”TRAP’ aren’t the same and don’t tell someone they are looking at it the wrong way if the space isn’t there.
That says ‘OPPORTUNITY IS NOWHERE’ and if they thing otherwise they should probably start going to class more. And not some self-help bullsh*t
Okay I am giving away my age here but my favorite UK football players in order are:
Art Still DE, Derek Ramsey QB, Jim Kovach LB, Sonny Collins RB, and Mike Siganos DB
I saw (and heard) Kovach put a hit on Georgia running back Willie McLendon (Chicago Bears 3rd round pick in 1979) at Commonwealth that I thought killed him. He finally got up and stumbled toward the UK sideline before someone grabbed him and pointed him towards his team sideline. Awesome!

August 22nd, 2011 at 2:33 pm
That might be the funniest thing I’ve seen this month…true story
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Does it not look like a Longhorn on the side of the helmet? Does look like UT’s G0d-awful color of orange though.
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:37 pm
That is hilarious. I bet the artist was a UK fan … or simply graduated from a sub-par university like UT.
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:38 pm
only at UT…LOL!!!
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:39 pm

Don’t get it. What’s the problem with the picture??
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:53 pm
#10-I like the way you think. Well done. Didn’t want to be the first to chime in with that point–I’d just be some worthless UT troll.
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:56 pm
IT really does look like a Long horn on the side of that helment. Sorry Macon…

I do think that is a longhorn player. I don’t remember the Vols ever having white facemasks. Think they’ve been black for a while now
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:59 pm
#3 & 13 — it’s the vertical part of the T, which flares at the bottom
August 22nd, 2011 at 2:59 pm

Lmao!

Yep. I can make out the T when I zoom in on my iPhone

One thing will never change, UT owning the Cats.

I will never make fun of anything UT does until we have beat them at least twice in 5 years. Is that too much to ask?!
