Making fun of Dooley, Jamal Lewis for selling drugs or Travis Henrys proclivity for producing children out of wedlock is one thing. Making fun of the life threatening illness of the greatest coach in any sport in the history of this University is one thing. Volger is a good dude, but it was a bad post and there's nothing to gain by defending it.

I'm 32 years old. If that makes me an old fart to you, I'll assume you're 12. Regardless of age, there is a fine line that shouldn't be crossed out of respect.

Agree......there are plenty of people that deserve to made fun of for self-inflicted embarassment, etc. But a disease that Pat has no control over and did nothing to deserve should insulate her from jabs like that.

That line only exists because sensitive people can't take a joke.

Anyone in this topic making fun of that fairly funny post clearly does not understand humor or how the world works. Especially how the human mind and society deals with tragedy and loss.

Read this book and find out how his little joke was nothing, and how in reality, it makes most of you hypocrites for being the way you are towards it.

Flame away without knowing anything.

If I have to read a book to tell me something was funny, then it clearly wasn't.

Someone actually gets it.


Meh, I'm sure its mostly the young pious mud slinging prix that can't handle a joke.

I love Pat and what she has meant to UT as much as the next person.

Some folks need to seriously lighten the f up.

I found it funny, mainly because I knew you meant no harm. Sometimes laughter is a great way to cope with any sad situation.

Pretty much. I love Pat, and it really is a terrible situation, but humor is humor and its meant to lighten things up and put a lighter tone into things - not start arguments.
