Sad, Sad, Sad, LOL. I can't believe that I couldn't get 3 tickets to watch my alma mater play in the Outback Bowl. As a Vol great (VFL!!!), 3 time SEC champion and 2 time Super Bowl champion...what is this world coming to? Is there anybody out there that can help me?! Shaking my head out loud.

 

[SDV]

That is totally embarrassing

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Is he broke?

 

[HugeVols]

Who's next Peyton?

 

[GAVol]

At least he's humble about himself.

 

[Volz4lif3]

What's the deal or what's the story? Is this maybe an extension of him negative recruiting a player that played with his son?

 

[vols 30]

Pay for them like the rest of us

 

[GAVol]

Why would the school owe him tickets? Are they supposed to provide tickets for all alumni now?

 

[vollygirl]

I don't get it. Are all former players supposed to get tickets? I'm assuming he didn't wait until today to try to get tickets? What's the deal?

And he wants free tickets? Hell he has made more money than a hundred fans have made in a lifetime.

 

[govols105]

i don't know the story other than what he said but you would think a former player could get tickets pay or not.

UT is supposed to supply former players with tickets?

Really? This VFL doesn't deserve your negative comments. He and Manning made a lot of high light films. Good PR for maybe 200 bucks, not a good move.

There are hundreds of former players. Why would they automatically get free bowl tickets out of a limited allotment?

 

[govols105]

No, but at least be willing to if they ask.

 

[big harry]

What makes him better than any other VFL that gave their all for Tennessee?

 

[GAVol]

Im sure they accommodate players all the time for home games.

 

[vollygirl]

No, but at least be willing to if they ask.

The day before the game, assuming all the tickets are sold, where exactly are they supposed to get more tickets?

 

[LittleCat]

Embarrassing display of entitlement.

 

[GAVol]

No, but at least be willing to if they ask.

Coming out with this today tells me that he didn't give much advance notice.

 

[utvolpj]

Sad is making millions of dollars yet not being able to afford some bowl tickets. Where'd it all go?

 

[B-Stizzy]

Really? This VFL doesn't deserve your negative comments. He and Manning made a lot of high light films. Good PR for maybe 200 bucks, not a good move.

What happens when other VFLs want tickets? How bad does it look if we start showing special treatment for only our "star" former players?
