Traditions
Campus lore
- The golden eagle statue atop Derryberry Hall was stolen by three students — Tom Moran, Roy Loudermilk, and Lewis Brown — from the lawn of the burned-out Monteagle Hotel in Monteagle, Tennessee, in November 1952. The three had hoped the eagle would provide the ultimate prop for the pep rally prior to the football game against then-rival MTSU. The hotel's owner, John Harton (a former state treasurer), demanded the return of the statue, and initially rejected all offers to purchase it. He finally relented and sold the statue for $500 after Governor Frank G. Clement intervened. The eagle, which weighs 70 pounds (32 kg) and has a 6-foot (1.8 m) wing span, was initially placed atop Jere Whitson Hall. It was moved to its current position atop Derryberry in 1961.[38]
- "Dammit the Dog", a former university president once said "dammit" to a dog in front of a crowd. He covered by saying that was the dog's name The dog has his own tombstone, an operable fire hydrant, on TTU campus opposite Derryberry Hall.
- T.J. Farr Building is one of the few buildings on campus not called "Hall." It is said this is because when you say "Farr Hall" in the South, people think you're referring to something other than an academic building, namely a Fire Hall.
- The "Blizzard" is a tradition which started in 1984 when students celebrated the first successful shot made by Tennessee Tech in a basketball game against MTSU by throwing showers of "Tech Squares" (toilet paper) into the air. Since MTSU moved to the Sun Belt Conference, the Blizzard is now performed against Austin Peay State University.
