Showing respect for players

Actually my feelings on Ayers quote is that it should faze him, it should piss him off. It should piss the rest of the guys off too. It should piss them off so much that they want to work their asses off to make sure it never happens again.

If it is just a "Game" why does the University spend millions of dollars on coaching every year and charge for ticket?s Why did Mike Hamilton say earlier this year (after raising ticket prices) "The fans want championships & in essence they have to pay for them"? We should let everyone in for free and say "It's just a game" and let it go. I agree it not very nice for a young man to hear the boos from thier home crowd but when the team looks like high school football team then I can understand the fan's frustration. I agree & I wouldn't boo a college player or team either, but I have to admit it we looked terrible yesterday.

good stuff, but it is just a game. if we didnt have it we'd spend money on something else.

I'd say hiring coaches superior to the ones they encountered in high school would be about the most respectful thing we could do.

Having that coach and Rod Wilks is probably an NCAA violation. It just wouldn't be fair to everyone else.

What would they do, pull scholarships? With Rod Wilks Shadowens we could just suit up 4 male cheerleaders, a drummer, the lunch lady and 15 journalism majors and we would win the NC without breaking a sweat.

If you don't think that 100,000 people booing doesn't send a message to the current administration that something is wrong within the program then NOTHING will.

How about 50,000 empty seats when Northern Cupcake U comes to town? WATE interviewed UT students after yesterday's game and many felt that the current on the field product was not worth spending 15 bucks a shot to watch N. Ill or Wyoming. Do you think the current administration would take notice if Neyland was fairly empty for the remainder of the season?

A free education and treated as close as they can be to celebrities.

I do not boo in the stands! I am a Vol fan and always will be. I will not boo...do I disagree with the people that boo? No

Do I like CPF? Yes

Do I want this program to win? Yes

I want to see them win and compete for championships, whether this is with or without CPF. I would LOVE to see him go out on top...I just think that is not going to happen

Serioously, for whatever reason, I've never drawn that line. They can't be kids and coddled on one side and then men defending our country on the other.

Guys I am not a Tenn. fan and have been on here a few times just to lurk The reason I am posting is it is crazy to go out and boo college kids is flat out uncalled for, now whether you were at the game or watching on the television, these kids signed up to go to a program to play football and get an education. They are not getting paid millions of dollars and shrugging off losses. Have some respect for these players win or loose they deserve to be treated better than that, some of these guys are using the only way possible to obtain a college degree, so back off with the booing and relax. I want my team to win as bad as the next guy, but at the end of the day it is just a football game. You will win some and lose some, but life brings tougher times than loosing a football game.
