I’m not going to bow and kiss Saban’s ring while you kick me in the teeth.
You’re acting like a total clown in here.

I've had many posters get bent out of shape with me. I can't easily recall it happening during such an innocuous conversation.

Given some of the posts in this thread, I beg to differ.

Yeah, there is some goofiness in here.
I’ll leave the Bama fan alone to continue holding his bowl eligibility class while I go to the Coaching Search Rumors thread, where the other Bama fan keeps posting updates on the coaching carousel as if he cares deeply about what happens to us and Florida.

Why? He's saying the exact same thing that myself and a few other VOL fans have said in this thread. Are you just mad because he's a Bama fan saying it? Get over it.

You don’t find it off-putting to have a Bama fan lecturing on bowl eligibility?
Fine, enjoy the rest of class.

‘Hey, you Tennessee hillbilly who wastes his paycheck on the lottery, you are NOT going to a bowl, and here’s why.’

Oh yeah, totally innocuous.

Considering we have a number of posters who don't seem to grasp it, I'm not sure why you're so bent out of shape. And he's not lecturing me since I already understood we have a zero chance of playing in a bowl.

Also, you specifically interjected yourself in to the thread just so you could "tell off" the Alabama fan; so you apparently brought the misery on yourself.

Are you the type that used to cry about someone punching you after you took a few swings at them?

No snowflake here.

Just not interested in being overrun by rival fans.

I go for news on our coach search, and I’m seeing regular updates from a Bama fan.
I come in here to point out that our APR isn’t high enough, and I find myself in a class taught by another Bama fan.

If we were 11-0 and Bama were 5-6, the Bama fans would not be hanging out around here.

It's not really 0% chance. That's the issue.

I'm not sure of the UT-to-Rival ratio, but I have a hard time believing that an overrun is imminent.

Yet this thread isn't about the coaching search, nor have I posted in a coaching search thread any time recently.

So you came in to post the same thing that I'm posting, but you're mad that I'm posting it?

If another Bama fan is giving you grief, then I'm sorry. I don't even know which fan it is, as I haven't been keeping up with the coaching search threads.

We know you're sorry.

Now apologize.

Where that falls out with 5/7 teams, we won't know until after the final game of the season for fence sitters like the Vols.

I'm not wanting to be negative, and I hate that we will not make it to a bowl game this year . But enough is enough . Get a new coach in place and start working for the 2018 season. Call it done after we WIN over Vandy.

Wow, controversy.

I certainly didn't take it as disparaging when Bamawriter and I were discussing the lack of paths for Tennessee to get to a bowl game. He's a student of the game of football just as many of us are, and I think he was just getting engaged in the mechanics of it all. I sure didn't feel like he was trying anything rival-driven, like rubbing our noses in it or anything.

Having said that, I get the other angle, too. I've been a temporary member of the fan boards of other teams, and have always personally steered away from the more painful and delicate threads, like after they lost a game. Sometimes it did seem best to just let them have their board without my intrusion.

So yeah, see both sides. But me personally, I wasn't at all put out by my and Bamawriter's conversation. Just wanted to get that out there.

Go Vols!

Saw something today that said there may be enough 6 win teams that they don't have to take any 5 win teams...

I thought Currie already said he's turning down any bowl offers if they come through?

The Bama fan in the Coaching Search thread is a different fan.
His posts in there have been useful, but I’m sure part of him thinks it’s hilarious that we’re going through yet another coaching search while he sits on Saban’s pedestal.

Similarly, I’m sure at least a part of you thinks it’s funny that we’re missing a bowl. Or, do you want us to do well when we’re not playing Bama? I’m fine with you generally always rooting against us, but that’s also my point regarding your appearance and tone in this thread.

I think there are more Florida and Bama fans on VN than any other SEC school. I wonder why that is.
In the winter, we’ll see more KY fans.
