Life as a Tennessee fan

Preseason “We are going to be much better than everyone thinks”

Week 1 “Man we suck”

Week 2 “Alright, week 1 opponent is going to win it all. We are still going to shock people.”

Week 3 “ See y’all were worried about nothing.”

Week 4 “Why can’t we beat Florida??? We suck so bad. Going 3-9.”

Week 5 “Whoa. Yeah we lost to Georgia but Pruitt showing improvement. We aren’t THAT bad.”

Week 6 “BOOM!!!! We have a coach. Next year we are going to run this thing.”

Week 7 “Why do we play them every year? We suck. This isn’t a rivalry.”

Week 8 “ Will Muschamp? Why can’t we beat him? He owns us and we still suck.”

Week 9 “Freaking Charlotte is the 13th grade and we can’t move the football. Is it basketball season yet?”

Week 10 “BOOM!!!! We are going to be back sooner than later. 2020 National Championship run coming up.”

Week 11 “Annnnnnnnnnd we suck again”

Agree with most of this but it's disappointing the way everyone paints the "other" QB when pointing out their favorite.

I prefer JG but Chryst has had no starts.
JG threw 2 interceptions in 1 game also against Florida. While going 7 of 18, I would add. I see Simonton didn't mention any of that.

JG is better but why our fans and media feel the need to omit facts and trash the other guy, is beyond me.

You, sir, know how to read, and read very well. Not a good piece of writing. It highlights the "report's" bias rather than the circumstances of the game.

Next Saturday will come down to a single thing: want to. Do these players want to go to a bowl? Personally i dont think they do.

I agree with this 100%. Pay close attention to #51 and see how many whiff blocks and false start penalties he has. Pay close attention to the down and distance when he does it. I really believe he just wants the season to end. Can't, for the life of me, understand Pruitt letting him play anymore. Our guys on the bench can't be much worse than him. If we're gonna lose, let's lose with guys who will give the effort.

The Titans are just kind of annoying to me. Get tired of hearing about them all the time in the mid state. They can move the team elsewhere for all I care.

Their fanbase is actually pretty small in Nashville/Middle TN. A lot of transplants who root for other teams. Most sports bars on NFL Sundays in Nashville are filled with fans of teams from the Northeast or Midwest. Might be a little better now for the Titans since they've had a little success but from 2010-2016 or so they had pathetic representation across town.

I live in Charlotte now and this city supports the Panthers across the board even though there are tons of transplants here too.

I will disagree that the fanbase is small.
I go to plenty of bars to watch games with lots of Titans fans

I'll give you there is a diverse group but you are selling the Titans fans short

I moved at the beginning of the 2016 season so things have probably improved since then. But I spent tons of time in Midtown and on 21st Avenue (Double Dogs, Sam's before that) for several years and Titans fans didn't show up like Panthers/Saints/Falcons fans do on gameday. They were there sure but they didn't take over bars and there wasn't a near unanimous support throughout the city like you see for other teams.

Honestly I have never done the noon Sunday bar thing but think about it this way.

Most Titan fans watch their game at home while the other teams game is almost always not on tv at the same time.
So they have to go to a bar to watch it or get the NFL Sunday ticket.


When the Titans play a night game the bars are much more crowded from
My experience

Did anyone else notice yesterday on TV when JG was going to the tent he looked at someone on the team and clearly said "F U Man " ? I am not convinced, and haven't been convinced everyone on the team likes him, but I just thought that was bad considering he was hurt and going to get checked out. Chemistry is everything to a football team...

I went back and watched it several times just to make sure I didn't miss something. Me thinks you love conspiracies or stirring up negativity or just have an agenda. First of all I don't think that's even what he said. It's a stretch at best. And then you also have no way of knowing who his words were directed at, after all, it's not just players on the sideline. But imagine the horror, we have a QB that not everybody on the team likes. I bet we're the only team in the country that can say that.
