A lot of people are as critical of basketball as I am of the football team but I don’t get it. You’ll never win every basketball game and we’re not a blue blood, no matter how many people wish it so.

it’s a tourney sport where we seem to struggle…. being critical is fine… wanting everyone fired… tweeting angrily at players is not

number 2 was asked back…… the staff likes him a lot more than the fans

Sometimes you just want a guy that can get the rest of the guys set on the field constantly and who plays full speed every play. When those guys are also the most talent players on your team you don't lose much, but Tank just isn't. Honestly he would have been a great candidate to do what Beasley did, but we just didn't have that luxury of moving guys out of the secondary.

I don't get why Duke is still getting votes and didn't really fall at all.

I get that they lost close but they still lost, at home, and lost their QB...

Part of being a football school, hell even Tony V was catching heat last year because they weren't winning every game.

It's annoying, the majority of our fans aren't tweeting at players every time they get upset about a play and they aren't booing our guys either... but everyone always focuses on the negative moments.

I think more players need to ditch social media completely.

can i add this as a pet peeve of mine….. i dislike all the fans that just start showing up when we start winning… Support the Vols through good times and the bad.

I hear ya. Stats don’t tell the whole story. Much like QB completion. I would take Milton over UF crap QB. His 78% means nothing with just short throws.

Appears we slide a safety many times over to help Haddon.

But hey, after the Florida debacle, our DBs and whole defense played amazing last weekend against a fantastic QB. Proud of all of them.

If 5 is guarding Leggett who is their best receiver, makes sense to slide a safety over. Only real guy they had. Makes sense as well when Haddon is guarding any teams best.

Duke has a better win on their resume this year than we do. Their loss is also a much better loss than the one we have on our resume. This will work itself out over the remainder of the season, but right now they should be ranked higher than us.

If our idiot fans would realize everyone despises the way they act and thinks they're low-iq, low-class trash, including other Vols fans, maybe they'd stop. . . but they wont realize it. . . because they're low-iq, low-class idiots. They think they're being cool and edgy and proving a point. . . only point they're proving is the type of person they are. . . a low-iq, low-class idiot.

Sad part is that there are so many idiots like this who are so dumb that they'll try to defend being an idiot. When you're truly that stupid and don't understand that you're an idiot, not much can be done. So it's kinda funny watching who jumps out to defend this behavior, says alot.

I've been being really mean to them on social media lately.

There was an old dude behind me that kept repeating the same crap. A literal broken record.

"C'mown make a play joe, make a play!"

Everytime we started on offense.

EVERY incomplete pass "Put the other guy in!"

The int's "he sucked at Michigan and he f'n sucks here"

ALL GAME LONG

After Joe ran for a first down this lady across the way said something about him being slow and I said "yeah his knee is definitely still a little hurt" she looked at me with this maniacal look saying something like "well maybe he just needs to be on the bench" she was so hateful saying it and slowly turned her head away.

It's bizarre redneckery

I am not comparing them against us. All your points are valid.

I just don't get how the polls work.

When we lost our QB last year the voters said they took that into consideration and is why we dropped more.

It's just funny how it all works sometimes.

Agreed. Should never boo our players. If you don't care for a particular player then just be silent when they are announced. Booing our own players is stupid. Probably the same folks that complain about recruiting not being up to their expectations are the booers.

Can we boo Boo? We almost boo Bruh.lol

If resume matters then Texas should be number 1, not UGA with the powerhouses they have played this year
