For all of those citing how much money would be lost if the stadium was only half full, keep in mind that a substantial number of those seats are season tickets which have already been paid for so that money would not be lost. I doubt much more than 20K seats are left to sell after season tickets and students so the losses are probably not as high as you are indicating. There would be some loss in concessions, but again not that great. The worst thing is that it would look bad on TV and may cause recruits to bail, which would hurt the team in the long run no matter who is coaching. At this point I don't think Butch is likely to get us championship and we may be better off with a new coach, but I don't like the possible harm to recruiting that may result from fan no-shows.
You're a bit out of touch if you think the Vandy game is a safe draw in a year that we're very likely to lose to them. I also disagree with your assessment of homecoming, this is arguably the worst beating we've ever taken in the modern era heading into the game, so there isn't much to go off of, but last time we had a nearly-fired head coach, HC attendance was 84,000. No social media movement, no overwhelming public pressure to fire Dooley immediately, only losses at that point were to ranked teams.
There's no chance we break 80,000, and I think it's far more likely attendance will be below 60,000.
I am.
You're more than welcome to voice your opinion just like I'm just as welcome to say GTFO.
There ARE other threads for you to peruse...
I will not get into specifics of timing on announcements but I will say you should pay attention to some important meetings this week regarding UT.
Thats a really ****ty way to talk to someone based on them talking about the first Amendment and their right to talk about things not related to Gruden. You want me to go thru the Gruden threads and pick out everything you said, or responded to nicely that wasnt Gruden related? Theres alot of it. No need at all to speak that way to a fellow Vol fan over such a stupid facking reason. That seriously isn't cool.
