MZTERRY, I do understand how frustrating all the negativity can be as a Vol fan. I don't understand it, and I don't wanna hear from people all the crap about how downtrodden the program has been over the last 5 years. That's no reason to be so negative all the time. I want us to be winning big too, but how does that make it OK to talk down to and bad mouth teenagers that are making one of the MOST IMPORTANT decisions of their lives??
The negative attitudes are my biggest peeve on this site. I suspect that those posters are like that in all aspects of their lives, not just on a football forum. I work with people like that and I wonder how they even get through life with such a poor attitude. How can you go through life being a miserable person all the time?
Anyway, with that said, I hope you always realize that it is the vocal minority of fans the cause these problems and the larger percentage of fans and posters on this board are here because they love the Vols and want what's best for the program. I hate that the negativity is what always stands out.
But..... never forget that there are many fine folk on here who you like and always have positive things to say too. Good luck to you and the Croomster. I hope and believe he will be making big plays all year.
And tell AK and all the other recruits that you come into contact with that some of us understand how important a decision it is for them and don't let our ORANGE tinted glasses make us blind to that fact. As much as we would love to have all the talent, UT just isn't for everybody and that should be respected.
ONE MORE THING..... All of you saying AK will ride the pine at UGA or UA....... IMO you are wrong and AK is gonna ball out wherever he goes. May not be 1000 yds his freshman year but he will see the field and make some plays. You can dog him all you want for not choosing UT and say he won't see the field (which is senseless and pointless and how in the world could you even be that all-knowing) but none of you could carry his jock.
Later MZ T.
