I agree. But the team won the game and Henry T, the team and fans were happy. We sat rt behind the bench on UT sideline.That was fools gold. Tennessee should have won that game by 2 TDs at least. I was never a Pruitt guy but that game concerned me as much as BYU. I never expected anything from Peanutnut after that.
If you mean that UT upsets BAMA them bravo. If you mean that he will help his new team defeat his old team then show a little more class when you are visiting a rival forum

I knew then Shrout would transfer as he went off on a profanity laced tirade on one of the coaches after Maurer was benched and JG trotted back into the game.
Shrout must have thought he was going into the game as he went off on the sideline and pouted the rest of the game until the the final four min when we scored and then insides kick.
My son and I felt so uncomfortable as Shrout made eye contact with us and knew we saw and heard what he said. He kept looking at us and even nodded at us.
It was the weirdest feeling I’ve ever had as a fan.
It’s sad really. Neither of them have been great players, but they are the best UT had to put on the field. I don’t think either could start at LSU, UGA, UF, Bama, or AU.
I agree. Stomach-turning.Bless his heart why? He's right. Never understood why you dudes always stick up for these rival's teams fans. Dude is extremely condescending towards Tennessee and you people defend him. Gross.
I agree, I don’t understand trashing one’s own team to a rival. But, there are (surprisingly) a couple of UF fans on here who are respectful and bring an interesting perspective - Jaws and another one whose name I can’t remember.I agree. Stomach-turning.
It is called Stockholm Syndrome. Captives or abuse victims can come to identify with and adopt the perspective of their abusers/captors. It is a heartbreaking psychological disorder.
Now, the degree of dominance and control are obviously much weaker among football rivals. But there are still people weak enough to develop a form of this syndrome even with so small a degree of coercion.
Most folks in a position of disadvantage, as we've been with Florida lately, will continue to treat the opponents as rivals. Others, the weak ones, come to think of them as superior and attempt to bond with them. That's what we're seeing, the ones who want to bond with the gator fans as a way of currying favor from what they perceive as their "betters."
It truly is sickening. But there's a surprising amount of it on these boards. Weak people.
