R.I.P. Tennessee Football 1891-2020

[Dustin4Vols]

No one inside the university cares about football anymore. It’s a shame, we have such a rich history. Hell i don’t care if we get Hugh Hugh Freeze or not I just wanted a coach that wins instead of learning as you go and gets lucky every so often. I envy and mourn......

They’ll care when about 20,000 don’t renew season tickets.

Good night, sweet prince

TV money. They will shrug off the season tix.

Fine by me. I'll save mine.

This board represents a small minority of superfans. Neyland is filled with average fans on Saturdays. The stadium will be full like it always is.

 

[Blackburn]

So, UT football is dead because they haven’t fired the HC you don’t like?

 

[airvols]

Hope everybody renews their tickets next year, I mean I don’t know anyone who attends to watch football anyway. Play on Pride!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

We are officially a basketball school

Yeah, you might be in for a surprise.

No, because every year we slip further and further into the abyss of irrelevance.

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

Real Tennessee football died long before 2020, my guy.

No I think it’s more of the football program is dead because it has sucked for well over a decade and the people who can fix it, don’t give enough of a damn about it to do so as long as they are still getting checks

It took you till 2020 to figure that out?

Robert neyland would roll over in his grave if he saw how bad we were.

Really, attendance has been falling for several years and they can’t even sell out the luxury boxes. Dream on.

Need to send a message

You ain't wrong Hoss. UT is a dumpster fire and things are gonna get worse before it gets better. Phil needs to be shown the door and let him take Gump with him.

 

[Spawn]

People showing up to games will continue this travesty. Time to boycott or nothing will ever change

 

[DC_Vol]

Not me. I go for the football.

Didn’t renew this year and I will not for next season. Tennessee is not serious about winning football. It’s not any fun anymore.

This is the point I've been trying to make for months. UT football is a perfect economic market, as there will always be buyers at whatever the market price is because it's more of a social event than anything

I sit beside a nice gentleman in his mid 70s every game. He says he surprised when it’s not packed. I’m thinking “what part of this **** show are you missing?” I don’t have the nerve to explain to him people today forget what happened 20 years ago.

Filled like 2018 Missouri when they had an announced attendance of 88,000 but really never had more than about 65,000?

Ridiculous to keep Pruitt for another year absolutely ridiculous. What happened to the leadership of this once proud football program? We had great leadership from 1985-2002 with Doug Dickey as AD and the football teams were very good during those years. It’s sad to see what it’s become.
