Why do so many fans have to be fair weather fans and only support a program when they are winning? I think if you are a VFL you will support this team and program no matter how many games they win.
Tennessee fans are extremely loyal. The problem is that we are the fans of one of the most successful college football fans in history and there is simply no good excuse for the crap that we have seen over the last decade plus. We have the stadium, tradition, money to compete year in and out for championships. We know we won't win every game and are ok with this reality, but when we see garbage on the field over and over we know it is essentially a bunch of self centered creeps that make way too much money making decisions behind the scenes by either incompetence or selfishness it pisses us off. As David Keith said "Tennessee football is the most important unimportant thing there is". There is no excuse to be this bad for this long.
In what world is voicing distaste and disgust at the coaching staff- who are making an ludicrously expensive mockery of all that Volunteer football has stood for for so many years... in what world is speaking out against that... the very thing that is hurting Vol football NOT supporting the team?
Freeze is not coming here. He is poison to every P5 school and will be a targeted by P5 HC’s and the NCAA because of his transgressions going back to his HS career."Fair" point.
I'm super critical of Jeremy Pruitt. Outright calling him a weasel who is losing games on purpose.
That's not the teams fault. Not even JGs fault ultimately.
Can't root for the VOLS to lose, even if evidence exists that they will lose by a wide margin.
I don't want to see Tennessee get stomped this Saturday. But I think they will. As a result, my "positive " is that I hope that brings Hugh Freeze that much closer to Knoxville.
To many people in our country AND the world see things still in black and white. Choose a "side". Well ...the earth is a globe...
WTF are you talking about? UT has the most loyal fanbase in college football. 90k plus still pack the stadium after 12 years of suck, you see people wearing swag all over the world and the most telling sign of how great this fanbase is is that we still care. We still care after the administration has shown they DGAF about championship level football, we still care even though there is no sign of hope for better days, we still care even though we KNOW a POS Gump will still be driving our beloved football program off the cliff next season.
GTF out of here with this "fair weather fan" bull! Few fan bases remain as loyal and caring as ours after over a decade of being fed crap.
At this point the 2000 version of Nick Saban would be run out of town on a rail if he lost more than 2 games in year 3. I say the 2000 version because he had yet to win anything. I'm sure the 2007 version was being ripped by Bama fans and being called washed up because they lost to Louisiana's version of Georgia State. He is at Bama, the well wasn't dry and they have their history. Why anybody would want to go to school in Tuscaloosa over Knoxville is a mystery to me, but it seems that the best teams are in the worst places for whatever reason.
