A miniscule fraction of the fan base tweets garbage at players. A miniscule amount of the earth's population are serial killers. There's just going to be people in life who suck and no amount of reasoning will change their minds. If you're a public figure who is getting your feez hurt by a few internet trolls, then stop giving them power by reading their sputum and responding to them. And certainly don't make the mistake of taking what a few Twitter idiots say to be the general consensus of the fan base.

Well said, SamReb. Wish someone could say this to the players.

Gauge will do the same thing and when he finally drops his load, it is almost always in somebody's yard, while they are outside and looking right at him and me. Yes, I'm that guy that doesn't "curb" (pick up his sh!t) his dog, if u are not watching. Sorry

I don’t know you at all and I have no personal beef with you whatsoever, and you may be a hell of a good guy. But I sincerely hope lots of people stop off and take big smelly s***s all over your yard on a regular basis.

Had a neighbor who let his dog **** in my front yard and didn’t clean it up. I went out there and picked it up with a grocery bag and it took it to his house and dumped it on his front porch.

Yeah I’m petty. I don’t care.

Not sure that counts as petty. More like a simple restoration of proper poop distribution. I mean, it is his.

It’s kinda like if I gotta throw up but I’m thinking jeez, I might have to clean my toilet afterwards if it sprays and all, but I figure hey, it’s late, what the hell, I’ll go throw up on my neighbor’s driveway and he can hose it off in the morning. I mean, who does that?

He made a poor choice and retweeted a bad joke. He didn't hit his gf. He hasn't been accused of raping anyone. He didn't fail a drug test. Basically, he just said something dumb. Put that into perspective.

His place on the depth chart (off of it) coupled with his comment indicates he is unwilling or unable to invest in being a productive member of the team. Therefore, he is better removed from the team, which he decided to do for himself

Sometimes when you get angry it’s better to take a walk and cool down. I saw that on a TV show, My Three Sons, when I was in middle school. I just naturally thought that’s what everybody did. I don’t always start the walk early enough but if I don’t take the walk at all I’ll probably regret it.

So I apologize for calling Jeremy an idiot and a pussy. Those were words spoken in anger.

He has said we have a good football team this year. He’s said we’ve had really good practices. I take his word for all of that because there’s a lot of secondary data that suggest that should be the case. We should be better than last year.

My criticism is basically that he didn’t prepare his team for the game last Saturday. It didn’t even seem like a good practice plan. He hasn’t acknowledged that, I guess to my satisfaction, publicly. Maybe he’s done it privately. I looked at Saban’s response to his early loss to Louisiana Monroe and he took ownership and apologized to the fanbase.

To me when you’ve sinned, done something that you know is wrong, even if only in retrospect, and I’m just using that as an expression, repentance, I’ve always thought, involved recognizing your error, apologizing, and pledging to at least try to avoid making the same error again. I don’t think this is religious per se. It’s just a good practice when we make mistakes in any of our circumstances in life. jmo.

We should bounce back so I’m thinking maybe 8-4 realistically. I really do think that’s possible because I think we have pretty decent players, and if we can beat Florida then that’s even better. My biggest concern remains the defense. I am skeptical we can win shootouts with our offense. I do think last Saturday was an anomaly. It shouldn’t have happened and I think most people would agree, including Vegas. jmo.

Again, I apologize to Jeremy and everyone else for calling him names.

He's back! Need a spreadsheet to show us the path to 8-4!

Every year people act suprise that the first 2 or 3 weeks of the NFL is sloppy. They dont take preseason serious so the first 3 weeks are preseason. It always gets cleaned up.

So, it seems its setting up that if we lose and JG keeps missing reads and slides short, Mauer or Shrout will start at UTC next week. Perfect break-in game.

Nah. The ball hit Jack Tatum or it wouldn’t have bounced that far. It was a touchdown.

And I say that as someone who grew up despising the Steelers.

Full disclosure: ...but not nearly as much as I despised the dirty-ass Raiders.

I think it hit Fuqua first. I loved three raiders at the time and that play forever sealed my abject hatred of the Steelers.

My neighbor a few years ago accused me of killing the stray cats by calling the pound (which I didnt). So I looked up a recipe on how to make fake blood, got a small box and a small bag of flour as the weight. When she was working in her yard, i went out, dug a small hole just before her property line sorta in the back and walked the fake blood dripping small box to it and dropped it in and filled the "grave" She flipped because she thought it was a dead cat 😂

what a day

Vols fans on twitter whining about what Vols players tweet is obnoxious.

I swear #voltwitter is an embarrassment.

I mean, I get the Jordan Murphy thing - that was BS and I'm glad he's off the team. But the oMg lOoK wHaT rAnDoM pLaYeR tWeEtEd gRrRrRrR!!!!

STFU voltwitter.

I'm convinced the worse ones aren't even Vol fans. I think they're Florida and Georgia fans with a troll account. At least that what I keep telling myself.
