I know a bunch as well. If you take the emotion out of it - why spend all that money for bad sports entertainment in the prime season of the fall in the Smokies? Have to disagree with Hank on that one. There are plenty of things for people to do in east TN that time of year. Yes - the people who go to a game or two and buy tickets for next to nothing will go. But that is not what makes it happen for the AD. It's the loyal donors/season ticket holders. That's what has been trending strongly down due to the stupidity. Do you think they would be offering three game packages and such if they were selling all the season tickets they needed? Nah.

Watch and wait when we actually empty that stadium.

We won't hire a coach next year, wanna know why? Because they will try telling us "Well we didn't make any money this year, no one came to games, less merch sold, etc. so we cant make a change"

I think what you’re gonna see are more people just watching from homes rather than planning a day around travel, getting in and out of Fort Sanders, and sweating ass in the stands for noon kickoffs in September and early October.

I know that I have no interest in making that drive to watch opposing fans treat a game day like a pleasant stop on their way to Gatlinburg. And I damned sure ain’t buying season tickets any time soon.

there is going to be more people do that anyway. Covid has taught us what we don’t have to have and many of us will give up less weekends away from home anyway.

And that isn’t even figuring in how many people will forever avoid big crowds again.

hiring freeze won’t even help with this. Covid changed us as a society forever imo

I can tell you that THIS season ticket holder will NOT be a 2021 season ticket holder if Pruitt is retained.

I also know around 8 others that are stating the same.

Unfortunately this is reactionary but exactly what it will take for UT to listen. This is 100% about money.

It’s clear to me now that there are two camps from which people are getting info:
- one camp backs Pruitt and thinks he’s safe;
- the other doesn’t and can’t imagine Pruitt coming back.

I think neither camp knows what Boyd/Plowman are going to decide, and thus the constant hedging.

uh, that's wrong.

i'm not sure there's anyone here that would say they "back" pruitt, much less think he's safe. even if he comes back, that's not an indication that he's assured of a long term tenure....so backing pruitt and believing he's safe....nope.

more like those that believe he's gone, and those that don't.....and the ones that don't, that's more or less a reflection of the confidence in the powers that be, than confidence in pruitt.

Aight, here's something to hold us over until we get some news one way or the other. Hopefully it's coming today.

Your avi? Why did you choose it? Mine's obvious. Smokey wants Freeze in Knoxville. What about yours?

It's basketball time and Santi is my favorite Vol (currently).

I’m not talking about people here, I’m talking about people in and around the program.
