Daniel Proctor Cartoon: Big Orange Bandwagon Clunking Toward South Bend

The Vol Report from GoVolsXtra today includes a must-see cartoon drawn by Daniel Proctor. If you don’t have a subscription, you might not be able to see it, so here’s a description.

Two UT players are in the front seat of a an old timey car with a Power T painted on the side and the words “Big Orange Bandwagon” painted on the side of a wooden truck bed. A tattered car flag is waving in the wind, the jalopy has no wheels, and the license plate reads “3-4 Vols.”

An exit sign overhead reads “South Bend exit,” and you can see the Golden Dome in the foreground. One Volunteer is saying, “Hey, Coach! Is this our exit?” And then, turning around to see the empty truck bed, the tailgate swinging open, he says, “Coach?”

That about sums it up. The wheels have fallen off, the offensive coordinator has been chucked (or has bailed), and the Tennessee Volunteers are clunking toward the mystical Notre Dame.

It’s a great cartoon that really captures this particular moment in time for the Volunteer Nation.

Go Vols!
