Classless...period

[Berry4Heisman14]

I’m mad as hell bc our players fought hard as hell and got screwed over by corrupt refs. Then kiffin and his scumbag football team taunting and faking injuries was gasoline on the fire. I was at the game, his scumbag players were taunting our fans the entire game it was boiling from start to finish and I have 0 regrets for acting out over it

You know exactly what we’re in for the next 48-72 hours: Pat Forde, Pete Thamel and Dan Wolken giving holier than thou condemnations of what happened at the end of tonight’s game.

What happened was a decade-old reckoning. Each and every single person who expressed themselves tonight should not only be praised, but celebrated. You love Tennessee more than anyone who uses this situation for their own “criticism.”

That includes drones like Donde Plowman and Danny White.

I am so ****ing proud of each and every one do you

Beginning to see a clear divide in our fanbase... some classy. Some trashy

Lump me in with all those awful trashy fans. Can't wait to cheer on more things that make you shameful!

No. This isn't us, and it isn't right.

This isn't a culmination of blah blah blah blah. There is one--only one--proximate cause for those objects raining down onto the field: the hands that threw them.

Regardless of how the hoodlums throwing those objects were treated as children, regardless of whether they had a rough week, regardless of how they felt about Lane Kiffin, regardless of how many Ole Miss players took a flop to slow down play, and regardless of whether those bottle-throwers believed the referees were doing a bad job, it was wrong.

It was wrong, and they should have had the maturity and discipline to realize it was wrong, and choose not to do it.

They threw a tantrum the way a 4-year-old does. We don't tolerate it in 4-year-olds, we teach them better. It should never, ever remain in the "bag of tricks" of an 18- or 21-year-old.

Shameful. If you were one of them, be ashamed of yourself. If you cheered them on, be ashamed of yourself.

This should not be any part of the Tennessee Volunteers.

I think it was stupid to act that way. It honestly probably hurt our chances if winning. Killednany momentum we had. Players got cold, muscles got tight. Now hooker is hurt. I think if the game played out we win and hooker is healthy. JMO

A healthy Hooker is a great point honestly. Probably was tight after the break

Recruits: I hope not, but probably we lost out on the visiting recruits. I tell you the truth, I fully expected folks to storm the field and attempt to assault Lane and his team, and maybe anyone else in between. Glad that at least that didn't happen. But you got to think, recruits likely wondered as well. Then decided the UT is just too dangerous to attend and play football.

Game Refs: Go ahead and hate, I think the game overall was fairly called, except for the scoop and score. The ball came out just before the QB was wrestled to the ground. Beyond that, the calls were on the money, that's my take anyway.

The Kif: Got the last laugh, caught him smirking. But then, he's the Kif, so I expect him to be cocky jackass.

Joe Milton: My, my, his passes had touch for once. But the last play, even with the WRs well covered, which they were, I'd have chucked that ball to the end zone and hoped a teammate despite all odds caught it. However, I strongly believe the Heup told him not to blindly throw it because he was the only one behind the LOS. If the ball got intercepted, likely he'd be the last hope to stop a pick six. Only to be blown up by a gaggle of Miss.escorts. AND, if they scored as well, those Vols fans might even turn on and seek to assault both Joe, Heup himself and maybe our own team as well. Never underestimate the stupidity of humans. Nor the arrogance. Even Quark knew that.
You're overlooking something. Humans used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi: slavery, concentration camps, interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We're nothing like you... we're better. --Quark--

The Game: From the start, I saw that the Miss. defense was not so much the trash as we thought. Perhaps because the Kif used UT fans' hate for him and disrespect for Ole Miss. as fuel to get them to play above their usual level. So our first offense series, I got to thinking, oh-oh, this may get nasty.

Our Team: There was no quit in them, dishearten, yes, but not quit. Dayum proud of them boys, dayum proud.

WoodsmanVol: I stayed to the bitter end. Then I watched some Chhota Bheem cartoons to numb the pain and shame.

Seemed mostly peaceful, at least it will weed out the fearful.

 

[Mccage]

I threw a beer **** them the refs especially

Lol..your sentence explains why!

 

[swampfoxfan]

Ole Miss has done nothing but faked injuries and taunt our players the whole game.

It’s justified.

We have disagreed before, this post explains why

 

[feathersax]

We ask our young men to carry themselves the right way but us as adults can't. This is embarrassing and takes away from a great game. GROW UP

I just went to bed after 15 minutes of "fans" (probably drunk students) throwing crap on the field. Where were those scowling "Security" folks that stand in front of the stands trying to look tough?

 

[ShadeCBE]

We haven't disagreed before now, but I would really appreciate if I could get on your pervious disagreements list.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Not sure I agree with the talking heads but dang…. Bad press

Positive note the team seemed to respond to the passion in the stadium

I'm more impressed with the decorum of our team. While all the morons were embarrassing UT, players were chatting with Miss. players, even shaking hands, and mingling among them. I hope the press we get takes this into account. Classless fans, but a classy team.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Lane Kiffin ruined this program. He deserved a lot worse than a golf ball.

FALSE!!!!! Hamilton ruined our program.

Al Davis(?) took out an entire newspaper section warning the UT to not hire Kiffin, as he was a scumbag and a lot of worse things. Hamilton hired him anyway. That was the start of our buried alive experience. Without it, we probably would be in a better place. Point your finger in the right direction, bub.

 

[CNCVol88]

Ah, so bad behavior is justified because other people do it too.

THAT makes sense. I wonder if I should use that as my legal defense.

It’s not a big deal. It’ll be forgotten about but we the fans won’t forget how our players who worked their asses off got hosed by the officiating.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Of course, you'd say that Publiar Andrew Clyde.

 

[JL24]

Prayers for the victims in this incident.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I'd wager most of those lunatic fans peaceful protesters that caused the ruckus could barely wipe their own a##es when Kiffin was the coach at UT.

 

[Voldawg1970]

Man.... are we really this bad as a a fan base? Can you say the golf ball thrown at Kiffin was premeditated? WTF brings a golfball to a football game? Unfortunately we deserve everything we get. The fanbase after the gane was just as bad. UT football is done for me and my family. I hope my son, daughter and wife never have to see this again. Welcome to Neyland... The home of the Sh..show. and to those who say 400 ruined it. This means there were around 100000 that could have called out ot stopped it. To remove the band and cheerleaders was sad. We are now that team. Thanks fans....

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Nm

Don't judge the whole fan base on a few. This is not the first time fans have stepped outside rational reactions. I remember a beer bottle incident at LSU. Florida fans keying my friend's car in Gainsville etc.

 

[luthervol]

It the words of @luthervol


This game was 93 percent peaceful which is a very positive thing.

In the words of morons..........
All TN fans are pathetic trash throwing idiots, if you don't believe it, I have video of them throwing trash on their own field.

 

[Volbrando]

Yeah because no one drank before they sold it in the stadium. Calm down Karen. Your going to strangle yourself clutching those pearls.

I don’t know about recruits but Lucy is right. We be fined. SEC has already issued a statement about potential penalties

 

[Volbrando]

Wonder if the media will call this a “mostly peaceful protest” or no?

 

[Mackdknife]

Too soon?

 

[BruceInLouisville]

Very sorry to see the way the game ended. As someone else stated, the "golf ball and trash incident" will forever be an asterisk on this season, no matter what the team does with the rest of the year.

And remember: there's reality, and there's perception. The reality is that some small percentage of the crowd threw things onto the field. The reality is also that there was enough worry about injury that the cheerleaders, band, and others left the field.

But perception? Tennessee has now become "the school that throws trash on their own field." Or, "the golf ball school." Or just, "trashy school, trashy fans."

You can say it was a minority of the fans in attendance, and you would be right. But that won't change the perception.
