Its what it breeds. I want go any farther. Look at what happened to JG and when it is reported people act like "how could people do something like that"
You got to be careful where you lead people or where you are lead.
Its a fact and facts are stubborn things. Hopefully you'll be one that always remembers this.
Good luck to you my friend.

Wait, Ques Glover ended up at UF?? Puke.

Didn't think he had any big offers. Wish he had at least walked on here, lots of promise. Hope that one doesn't bite us in the arse. He was 5-9 for 14 points tonight. Flipside, he has 2 assists and 9 TOs on the season. But I can't wish him ill either. Hopefully he transfers and tears it up anywhere else but in the SEC.

@David Ubben do you really think this fan base doesn’t know the specifics of how we got here? Years of hell and we remained loyal. We absolutely know what occurred. You are preaching to the choir. We are here. We lived it.

Now write something about how Fulmer and Pruitt have started turning this ship. Scratch that... I don’t read your hit pieces anyway so.

To be fair he wrote that article in May...

I don’t blame him at all.Florida offered and Barnes didn’t because of his size which is pure BS,Turner is better on the wing and shouldn’t be point guard at all.I would much rather have JJJ run point to be honest he’s a better distributor and ball handler.Glover should have gotten an offer on being a better ball handler and a “True” point guard alone.Behind bone we had no point guard and it’s showing with as many turnovers as we have and a lot of them are nonsense.i think Quez going to Florida has a Chris Lofton type feel to it,could just be me though.Tonight I think Faulky only having 2 points was the difference.

Media said we should get him during our coaching search. VQ floated his name.

The Post-Friend years have not been kind to Bobo. Like Saban's defense and Kirby's offense, his job has been necessary collateral damage in the building of the Pruitt empire.

David, this fanbase generally doesn't mind "negative" stories about the program, or stories that aren't 100% positive and uplifting or whatever. Hell, we rehash our decade of mediocrity on here weekly. The reason you have a bad reputation on here is because you started piling on when the season looked lost after appearing to be a neutral and objective reporter before that happened. It looked like a cheap "betrayal" to get clicks, draw the ire of an easily provoked fanbase, and boost your standing in the sportswriting world by increasing your followers, RTs, etc. Unfortunately, we've been an easy and common target for journalists who do that in recent years.

@David Ubben I think Aesius explains our reactions here pretty well. I really like your articles, they’re well researched and well written. I subscribed to The Athletic and followed you on Twitter. I continue to read your articles because I paid for my subscription and I learn from them.

I won’t renew my subscription unless I see changes in your tweets. We have enough national writers who don‘t take the time to understand VolNation. I hated it when you decided to join them.

This basketball team is a work in process. They'll get it together.

It's weird. Barnes doesn't seem to care so much about these games. I honestly think he lets these guys do their own thing to prove points to his team. He doesn't really do much coaching during these types of games. He knows what he is doing.

Said the same thing against Chatt. He sat on his hands and said “don’t look at me, y’all figure it out”

These next 2 weeks could be huge for some CFB parity. Need LSU to beat UGA, Bama to lose or at least not win by too much, and Utah to beat Colorado and Oregon.

The dream scenario for me is Bama wins by 3 due to a terrible Gus decision, hot seat talk goes next level...Hardy flips...Bama and uga don't make the playoffs, leaving both fanbases riled up not making the playoff with their best QBs in YEARS during their prime season...Florida loses to an unpredictable FSU team...Utah wins it all...LSU, uga, bama, osu, clemson recruiting all tank and Pruitt reaps many spoils...dreamers can dream 🙏

I waffle on the SEC 2 getting in, solely because it could be our first shot and I don't want the precedent set for omitting us at 1 loss. But I don't want bammer or GA in. Conundrum.

UF offered because they had scholarships to give. White took a big class and had to take some 3 stars. They also have PG Tre Mann, who was hurt. They also took Jitoboh from Chattanooga, who is a project. Both those guys need development.

We have two 5 stars coming, and one or both can handle the ball. I’m not sure how well Mike White can develop them.

Exactly why I don't want the SEC rep to lessen..It would be so Vols for us to be the team that gets screwed.

Appreciate the effort but a lost cause. Folks here involved in everything from snake scarification to what Hoppers folks do to innocent cows..trust me, you don't even want to know.
Once banished me to some kind of chamber in SC to be tortured by shooting sound waves straight thru my internal organs! May think I'm lying but I kid you not!

Sir, don't walk but run to the FF. Where the souls are with doubt, cleaner and more salvageable.

There's simply no hope here.

Hey guys, to each his own. If you want to not pay attention to the entire body of work I've done, that's fine. We have a Black Friday sale going on today and I tweeted out about 15 of our best-selling stories in the past year or so. If you want to get mad about one that's more explanatory than negative, that's fine. If you want to get mad about a couple cherry-picked tweets pulled out of context, that's fine. But it's also intellectually dishonest.

This is my Twitter account. I tweeted a bunch of stories this morning our readers loved that if you haven't subscribed, you've missed this year. People on this board who want to feed off tweets they think are too negative can do so if they please. Get angry about me being "too negative" if you want. But I don't really care about writing "positive" or "negative" stories. I care about writing stories that allow our readers to learn new things. I hope you'll check us out and not play the outrage groupthink game. Thanks!
