I don't blame anybody for booing. The problem is that once you boo, you get lumped in with all the necks that are booing. You might have a very good reason for booing, but you don't look any different from the guy with a mullet 3 seats over who is just whining after one to many Pabst Blue Ribbons.

:eek:lol:i don't think booing is the most intelligent thing to do either, it does have a certain connotation to it, doesn't it?

but, if you boo, so be it, i don't have a problem with it. but like GA says above, be prepared to get lumped in to that crowd.

and for those that hate the booing, get over it. there was ample reason for it.

those idiotic morons who were booing at the UAB/Fla games for Josh Nunes's decision not to come to Tennessee. I know travel distance was also mentioned, but as his father stated the booing is what really disturbed his son. You better beleave this booing is going to cost UT dearly with other recruits, but hey these dumb ass rednecks who constantly boo don't see that as an issue. They are either to stupid to see it or just don't give a darn; My guess is both. If these people had gun powder for brains they couldn't blow their nose.

Yes, maybe the booing had something to do with it but I will assure you the state of our program was much more disturbing to them. Remember the booing is simply a symptom of the state of our football program right now.

Yeah, as I have stated in other threads. Those Gator fans never booed Ron Zook once and look where they are.

AL fans put brown paper bags over their heads when Shula was there and look where they are.....I would never want us to do that and I think there are better ways of voicing your displeasure than booing at the game....after all some of the players are giving all they have to the game and it must be very disturbing to hear that from the fans. I think recruits are more concerned about the instability and stagnation of our program more than the boos. They want to play for a team that is on their way up and not stuck in mediocrity. TN must find a way to revitalize our national image if we are going to get good recruits. We have a great history and great facilities and a great fan base. As we saw last night, even the mighty can fall to a team they should beat...we have lost to one team like that and we have lost to a great team that may end up in the NC so this next game with AU will tell us a lot. I am a TN VOL and we need to RISE UP and we will. GO VOLS!

I smell a phil PR campaign. I haven't been at a game this year. But you bet i would have got up and hit the road early to avoid traffic. Might have booed once or twice also.

Like I said, I didnt "boo" at either of the games but, I feel that the people who paid the money on going to the ass beatings had the right to do as they please. If the team is putting out a pathetic showing then its going to happen. It happens at every venue, as someone earlier said UF booed Zook, Shula got death threats at Bama, VY at Texas got booed terribly. Season tickets, gas, headaches, food, etc give the fan to voice their opinion. What are they suppose to do, stand there and clap when we get throttled by 45?

thats my whole point you have to love the orange for better or worse. Things have been better and things at those other schools have been better but when it comes down to it how much pull do you have to make change

The day that our fanbase stops booing the effort it witnessed on Saturday is the day we become Ole Miss or Vanderbilt. We are used to winning and expect to do so. Tennessee (and all "real football") fans take pride in preparation, execution, and 110% passion for the game. None of that has been evident in Neyland or in California a few weeks back.

I just hope that we make a change and turn things around before our disgust turns into apathy.

I hate to say it but we will have to start boycotting games in order to get Philbio out of here. The only way hes fired is if the administration is not getting their money. If Neyland was only half full that would get Hambone's attention.

You, me, anyone that purchases a ticket or has season tickets has a right to voice their displeasure. Last i checked this is still america and not china. If the fans don't show it at the games,good luck with those hamilton e-mails.
Kinda like your mom telling you to sit down and shut up when you were a little kid. America doesn't work that way. No one man is bigger than the program.

I was at both games and didn't boo, and don't really believe in booing the players personally. However, I think this is a person's right as a fan, if that is what they want to do. VASF donations and tickets are not cheap, and you expect the games to be at least competitive.

I will say this. If a kid changes his mind about committing just because of booing, then he needs to get tougher skin. How mentally tough is a QB going to be in the SEC if this is the reason he changed his mind?

What exactly are we accomplishing by booing? Hurting ourselves it sounds like. I will not boo my team no matter how displeased with things I am.

i don't think it's necessarily booing the kids as it is booing the coaching. like i've said before my granddad had season tickets for 45 years. i nvr missed a home game growing up. i remember fans booing thru out the years

Did booing cost us Cadlliac Williams ....did booing cost us Chris Simms? happens all the time....if Nunes goes somewhere else and tanks I suppose we can thank the boo birds for sparing us! Maybe they should of booed when Crompton took his visit!

The fans in Neyland were there before they committed they will be there long after they are off the scene (whether they play here or not).

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Your right i bet you could ask most of them why and phil would be their answer. They're not rednecks, they're smart football fans that realize after years of blaming everyone else, throwing assistants and coordinators under the bus, that maybe it was phil all along.

Was the guy who started this thread even at the game? The traditional biggest game of the year was over with 6 minutes left in the first quarter.

Let me to tell you when the booing took place:
1) kicked directly to Brandon James first two kickoffs. The first was a 50 yarder, the second was taken to the house.
2) On the one yard line you called a passing play with an incompetent QB who had it intercepted. Of course we found out later that Crompton missed the call.
3) personal foul on 3rd and 1, in field goal range= No points on the board.

And after that there was no booing because the game was over. Similar, their won't be anymore home boooing because the season is over and apathy is setting in.

John Parker Wilson was booed and slammed everyday for the last half of the season last year. It really hurt UA's #1 recruiting class. The boos aren't the problem. The truth about our program is the problem. Maybe Nunes will go to UCLA and we can boo him too next year in the season opener.

The point underneath all this is that there actually were fans in the stadium, and they cared enough to boo...

A couple more losses, and they'll no longer bother. That will be the tipping point..
