Why do all these idiots cheer for other college football teams? Don’t they realize that their traditions, coaches, institutions, geographic locations, mascots, team colors, heartfelt stories about players of yore, online forums, and fanbases are lacking? It’s such a waste of everyone’s time and energy.

Okay, serious question:
If kickoff for the Aggies game is 3:30, what’s the best time to get there for the Vol Walk?
Do opposing teams fans ever show up for the Vol Walk?


I will had 4 Aggies with me…

I've seen fans from opposing teams at every Vol Walk I've been at. Visitors like to take in the pregame environment and traditions.

If you want to talk about the coaches or professional athletes sure you can have that conversation. But you want to talk about college players that are still kids and they mess up a couple of times and you feel they deserve to get booed? Absolute clown take, when someone is at their lowest isn't the time to ground them into the dirt. Talk about lasting in the real world if you screwed up on your job and were getting booed by a couple of thousand people you would fold like a cheap suit.

Lol, nobody can be harder on me than I. I'm not worried about a couple of boos.

But again it's not about him messing up on a couple of plays it's about him acting like a complete clown out there.

Don’t boo the players.

The fanbase is a live wire though. And that current is going to flow, one way or the other.

You don’t get the positive charge of the insanely passionate fanbase in a vacuum.

There is an equal and opposite negative charge.

. . . and that's where "dont be an idiot" should enter a lot of people's minds. . . problem is, it doesn't, because. . . they  are idiots.

Kamal Hadden is going to get himself drafted y'all. The hate for him is overblown. He's statistically putting up a great season and people want to boo him?

Dude has made mistakes on the field and acted a fool at times, but he's also improved tremendously since being here. We remember his chatter in last year's USC game. He didn't do it after that, yet most fans still hold that over him. We remember him being involved in the Florida scrum but forget he was the one who broke through the Florida mob first to back up Omari Thomas and he never swung at anyone. He only defended himself and avoided the confrontation.

It's kinda like Joe Milton. It's like we never forgive players for their shortcomings and mistakes, even if they improve in those areas and do things worthy of redemption. We end up getting hypersensitive to all their future mistakes.

On the booing of Hadden during his introduction, I heard from someone who was at the game that South Carolina took the field at the same time and that they were all out before the Pride was even doing the pregame. No idea if that’s true since I wasn’t there, but maybe they were booing the Cocks instead of Hadden?

True. It’s not his this play. Fans I spoke to are tired of his antics. He chirped last yr vs USCjr after getting burnt like toast. Then he has had 15 yard penalties. I don’t like the booing but fans are the same at most big schools. It’s been going on for yrs and won’t stop.

So you're saying we're as bad as other fans? We can and should do better.

Maybe, but based on people defending their boos, they must've been booing. The have made it to peak window licking form and it's not even mid-season yet
