Despite the way it ended up, I'm excited for the development of the team. Pruitt acknowledged before the season that there may be some young players that wouldn't be able to play until the second half of the year. We are seeing them really come on and we're seeing other players getting better as well. We are definitely going to be a sight to see the next coming years!

So you’re saying that if JG rolls back to hand the ball to Crouch, the OLB forgets gap assignment all of a sudden and crashes the middle anyway? The play would have resulted in a TD either way most likely, but it’s why you have fb as lead block on a pin and pull to block OLB that will fill the gap. Simple situational awareness man. That’s all.

How about you just admit that tweeting players and families of out of bounds and a sad state of affairs for what these kids/families go thru?

You have kids?

You want strangers attacking you on social media?

Would you and your kids deserve that?

Last thing I'll say on your hyperbolic and over the top reaction. This is assuming they are in college and playing a sport on scholarship.

I have two kids

If my kid is on social media, they should expect to be criticized. If I'm on social media bragging about my kid and he or she makes a mistake, it comes with the territory and I should expect to hear it.

I have a line for fans in what they say.
-Threats are unacceptable.
-Off topic name calling is unacceptable. (Calling someone a bad QB or the worst in Tennessee history is within bounds but calling someone a slur is out of bounds)
-Mentioning at home issues are unacceptable such as a divorce, death, etc. unless it is for support.
-Tweeting at highschool kids for any reason is unacceptable.

Tweeting football related comments and criticisms...that's fair. People calling him the worst QB ever, comes with it and is fair. If you want to play big boy ball, you should be tough enough to take that kind of heat.

Completely disagree with all of this and your opinion makes real fans ashamed to wear the same colors as you





In no way should a player or family member ever have to go to social media and read criticism directed directly at themselves or their son or daughter until they are getting paid to play

Your take is shameful and I pray your kids aren’t criticized on social media for bad play during a sporting event.


Btw there is a big difference between tweeting a criticism and tweeting one directly tagging that person. That’s when it’s personal, completely unacceptable and a scumbag act

The separate, massive entity that is the University of Tennessee football program would be better if random, anonymous individual didn't tweet words?

snap back to reality.

Stop equating kids playing a rec league soccer game to a 21 year old playing in the highest level of college football. People who tweet at players with negative stuff are peckerwoods IMO, but damn you acting like they are the worst people on the planet.

Isn’t it crazy that players actually develop. Some guys take 1 year, some 2, some 3. We have forgotten this as we have relied on freshmen to be our saving grace for too long.
