first you gotta go to TENNESSEE and get a big orange VOLS flag then get a pole about so high....and well you know the rest....lol I spent most my life in tennessee so i am kinda partial to the football team and the girls basketball team...

i never watched much football but i would alwasy watch tn and alabama... and man i seen some of the most stupid mistakes on each team.. and it was weird that back inthe day (80's) that one year tn would win next year alabama would win etc.. I remember one game where tn had the game if they just had one more td... the dude was in the endfield and was wide open, the ball was thrown and he just watches it go thru his hands... ugh i was pis*ed.

Well, what i did for Canada Day was take my old goalie stick, drill a hole in the tip of the blade, and attacked the top for the flag there, then used a small rope from the bottom of the flag to the shaft of the stick. (Flag was 5 feet by 3 feet). I put the stick dead center at the front of the truck box, the used some rachet straps to brace it. Worked awsome, had it up to 120km/h (70 ish mph) and it didnt move....flag started to rip apart at that speed. I am sure u can use a piece of pipe or a pole of some sort for your flag.....and even putting it in the center of the box would work also.

There are multiple options to attach a flagpole to your hitch receiver, which is what I intend to do for football season when I'm tailgating before my UC Bearcat games. All of the sites say that they're not to be used while the truck is in motion though, which I'm sure if just legal speak.

you could use a pair of U brackets and attach it at the front of the bed at the top near the rear glass. Some Self Tapping sheet metal screws and a pilot hole would do nicely.
