I drive from Shelby, NC which is over three hours….. I did the ole miss game all in one day…. Got home at 5 AM that morning….people were saying that they couldn’t afford the actual games… I stated there is options…. I have never spent that much for a UT home game for 3-4 people to come with us…. The bigger games are harder to maneuver but not impossible… the smaller games are easy to get really cheap tickets.

ok, so state there are options.

if you can keep the "foolish" comments out, and maybe actually have an actual conversation instead of it devolving in to whatever it ultimately becomes.

if your motivation is only finding the best deals and saving as much money as possible, then sure, your plan is an option.

others, like myself, put more in to the entire experience, so when i do go, i don't mind spending "more"....even if that's paying face value like i did for USCe. but that usually means we're not going to more than one game a season, unless we include the OW game.

so anyone that's a little peeved about not having that opportunity this year, i get that. we were considering going too.

Volnation I know I don't post a lot but feel like this website has been a great support network for a lot of people who love the Vols. On Monday my dad had a heart attack and has been in critical status in the icu since then. There have been a couple little positive things, but they are concerned about some potential brain swelling. Could really use some prayers or good thoughts and hope for some good results from an MRI this afternoon.

so stupid to not overturn the fake injuries

get ready for all of our games to take forever and for fake injuries to plague the majority of our games. ole miss and purdue showed how to muck up games against us. missouri and south carolina showed what happens if you don't. EVERYONE is going to fake injuries as a defense against us.

also be prepared for our fans to get dragged on social media for "booing injured players" and "being classless." not that it bothers me, or it should bother you, it's just going to happen.

this is a HUGE LOOPHOLE that directly impacts us in a negative way. it nullifies that advantage that we are choosing to deploy.

I hope that we fake injuries at a 2-3x rate against our opponents on defense just to prove the point. this is a mockery of the sport.

I just said it’s foolish to pay that bc there are much better options for people wanting to save money…. If you want to pay 300 dollars for the security of already having your tickets than I don’t blame you….. my advice is for people that say they can’t afford to go to the regular games and could only afford the orange and white game…. I don’t miss out any festivities…. The scalpers are every few feet as I walk to everything I am doing.

Could work pretty well I agree, though they'll still abuse it after every 2nd down. If you make the third down, the defense still gets the player back for the next series. If you fail, then they succeeded anyway.

I think it halfway fixes it. But hey, better than nothing! And I do believe fast offenses usually go the quickest on 1st and 2nd down after successful previous plays. So maybe more than halfway fixes it. They just need to get something down in the playbook asap imo. Tweak it as time goes on. This no-rule landscape is just ludicrous.

Your idea is a good one and I can't grasp how they couldn't at least agree to something so straightforward...

When i say series, I’m thinking until the ball changes possession…is that not what y‘all meant?

What bugs me is the constant conversation about player safety.

If a guy can drop like a fly then return a play later how is that safe? Even if he's faking an injury if you're going to justify the inability of the officials to do anything "because they aren't doctors" then isn't that the same justification for keeping the guy out for the rest of the series?

I mean it's not like our series are really that long exactly. I think 7 snaps is about the average so the injured player isn't missing that many plays either way.
