True Vol fan that will watch every painful game on TV but will not pay to see the pitfall @ Rocky Top!

It is out of respect to our players and coaching staff that I feel that my viewpoint is expressed. I applaud your truth as you see it Lexvol because it is the truth as seen by many Volunteer Fans. The state of Volunteer Football is in denial. This denial, which if not addressed promptly, will tear the very fabric that has given UT football it’s legacy. Much the like the economy, UT football is in need of a bail out. Last years staff mass exodus came after miracle, after miracle, game after game. Yes we won the East… and again, when put in the spot light, our weakness was once again in plain view. How many times do we as fans after a defeat have to repeat, if, so and so hadn’t and if we would have blah blah blah, we would have won the game. This basic game analysis is voiced I’m sure the US over by fans of many different teams and as a general rule, when voiced, changes are made in those programs to eliminate it’s repetitiveness. By now though UT fans, players and staff have swiss cheese for feet!!! The one thing I would like to add that I feel has not been voiced… The Vol Nation is comprised of tradition, family values, integrity, dedication and loyalty… We are not a sell-out to the demands of success… We believe that these trademarks will weather the tests of time and in the long term be more fruitful and boast greater value because WE stood tall in the face of adversity… I believe, in any long-term venture, flexibility and adaptation, while maintaining our trademarks, are the keys to success, stability and growth. It is in this flexibility and adaptation to change; our execution has not been modified by current trends and has ultimately been our downfall. Why do we believe that by adapting, we cannot maintain our integrity and honor and that somehow our success from this evolution will bring any less validity, enjoyment or personal satisfaction from winning. I take pride in our trademarks and continue to wear my ORANGE and fly my flags in the face of defeat and humiliation because I understand who we are as a TEAM, as the VolNation and in what we stand for! Denial leads to destruction and the truth is without this acknowledgement is a potential 5-7 2008 team and a similar projection in 2009 will be our death… I predicate the following viewpoint by saying that I fully recognize and admire the hard work and dedication that every member of the University of Tennessee football program has given in their pursuit of victory.
