Yeah, I was that other one. Had plans to go but, you know, business can be like war... how does the saying go, war planning goes out the window once the enemy is engaged, or something like that. Haven't left Texas now in a coon's age.

If this is true then Pruitt can absolutely suck it! To be top 3 in the SEC in attendance and top 5 nationally after coming off the worst season in program history and a complete clown show of a coaching search, I'm damn proud of our turnout today! Honestly Pruitt, get a clue!

Going to Nashville in two weeks. Gotta squeeze family time into a podcast convention window.

If someone (a fan) cares that a coach called out the fans and is going to be upset about it...well, that's soft.

I'm going to add that if someone is putting enough effort to care about him answering a question.. It would take less effort to just go to the game..., Also some are saying that we were in the top 5 and saying he should be happy about it. He doesn't want to be in the top 5, he wants to be the top of everything football related. Isn't that what we want from him?

Pruitt should realize he isn’t Saban just yet. Cancel the autograph session which is why a lot of people come to the spring game and then insult the fan base. Not the smartest thing to do. Win something then you have that right.

He cancelled that a long time ago. We are having signing day in fall. Relax bro.

Im always happy bud. A bit discouraged because as i said, i couldnt watch today. Hopped on vn hoping to see a few threads about some good player performance. Instead i see our coach put a crappy product on the field and complained about fan attendance....woot woot...exciting stuff.

I can see Pruitt having the same attitude as Muschamp.

Not caring about winning a popularity contest and focusing on winning ball games.

Tired of having “Nice” coaches who don’t get us anywhere.

When I see Nebraska getting almost 90k with a new head coach and Georgia selling out last year, I definitely think we can do better.

I like that coach Pruitt has just as much high expectations for us fans as he does the players. We'll show out more people next spring game.

I'm also proud of the people who did show up, we brought in more than Butch's first Spring Game!

To be fair Nebraska got their #1 target. We settled (I’m not complaining, I like the hire) on Choice #20 (give or take a couple).

I get him not being happy with the attendance, he wants Tennessee to be #1 at everything and I’m sure that includes spring game attendance.

I think with a stadium that hold 100k+ there should be 80k+ at the spring game. Did I come all the way from Vegas for it??? Yep! I planned a trip home around it.

I think he wants recruits to see that this fan base is so passionate and supportive that they’ll almost fill it up for a scrimmage. I believe as fans we have to remember this program is at rock bottom, for it to getvto the Georgia /Bama level it’s gonna take effort on our part.

Just my 2 pennies

When I read post, I could imagine a 3 year old stomping thier feet demanding. As a mother, I’ve heard that enough in my lifetime. You just have to direct thier attention elsewhere, like is Holly still employed?

You (or whoever began the nc conversation) said we hired an nc winning coach. That is an incorrect statement.

Disagree. Had he said “NC winning Head coach”, then your statement would be correct. But as a “coach”, he’s in possession of 5 NC rings, because he was a big part in helping win those NCs. Every coach assembles a staff to help him coach up his players and win games, they ain’t doing it alone.

Pruitt needs to stfu and coach... it his job to put a winning team on the field, if players aren’t playing their best he better damn sure find a way to change that.... as a teacher myself it is my experience and many professionals advice not to belittle student or student athletes in order to change that. Just my two cents, aight!

Tell him to learn some proper English, he’s embarrassing himself!

I went today but was reminded of all the reasons I don’t get season tickets. The red shirt and hat tv dude was enough for me to remember to watch this year from the comfort of my home with a beer in my hand!
