Shame he feels alienated. All I have ever seen were swiperboy salutes. the kid gave it his all for TN and fans praised him. Those from VOLNATION who did will continue to support him, as will I. However, I think if he had produced a cheerful goodbye, it would carry him much further.

Still a fan. Enjoyed hearing his passion for the things he loved. And still don't understand why people felt the need to voice their insults for a kid who promoted, supported, and lifted up the university we all, supposedly, love.

I haven't heard much negative about swiper, except that his basketball skill out of hs was overrated.
This song was a bad idea. That's an opinion.

I've heard plenty.

Not sure why him expressing his opinion is a bad idea, and yours is ok? (not being facetious, serious curiosity.)

I didn't say he can't express his opinion. I said it's my opinion that the song was a bad idea. He's addressing very few people that even have any commentary on his career. The vast majority are cool with him. A decision like that probably sends a couple of people on the fence to lean the other way. Basically, did he pick up points or lose points with people that know who he is?

Hopefully, he can do well in his music career and hire a publicist and pr manager.

Just on this one site I've seen more that insult him than compliment him. And ftr, I don't think his "volnation" is referring to this particular website.

But I wish him the best as well.

He's always seemed like a solid guy and I enjoy his rapping. Best of luck to you, SB.

Didn't listen, don't really care, and seriously wish him the best, but, I do find it ironic this is the same SB who once rapped "never leave you like Kiffin" and now he's transfering to the same school Kiffin went to. He wasn't going to see playing time here, so I don't blame him for going. I have nothing but great hopes for him.

think that song/video is ridiculous and stupid but just my opinion. We know SB stuck thru some hard times here and grateful that he stayed but this comes off as a total ''feel sorry for me'' move and based on what I've heard from countless people not surprised by this.

No irony. Kiffin left UT after one year to chase his "dream job" a few weeks before national signing day. Woolridge was told "thank you for your 4 years but we will not be keeping you on scholarship" and decided to go and find somewhere he is wanted. I'm not sure how people see those as being similar.

Woolridge represented UT well and I hope nothing but the best for him.
