Apathy again

I'm with you....I'm strangely not even really upset. I'm actually looking forward to how entertaining Volnation is about to become with the ensuing hot-seat/ coaching-search threads.

My emotional wall went up tonight sometime before halftime. I'm no longer worried about getting hurt by our performance.

Kinda weird. I don't get mad anymore. I don't cheer like I used to when we score. I just watch the games and pick apart the stupid crap our coaches do and shake my head in disbelief. A lot. I don't plan my day around games like I use to.

Never seen such a shift in just a matter of weeks during almost 30 years following the Vols

After 30 years, you get to the point you might as well Laugh as Cry! Shame many of us have become this jaded, like being a Cubs fan I guess! :no:

i got to this point a few years back, got back and fully invested again around two-three years ago (the taxslayer bowl)(and by all the way lets be clear i havent missed watching a game since at least 1996) the wife and i were travelling going to games, doing holiday activities around it, having huge cookouts every weekend with tons of friends, converting folks to Vol fans.....

after this past Saturday i was back to that old feeling, didnt even let it upset me, a few F bombs and that was all .....

then coming onto here really did me in with all the speculation and possible bad news....
I just wanted to be in Atlanta this year (i was there in 2007) cheering on my/our vols, with a possible bowl game in my back yard in Miami or even Tampa again (not for outback)

i never even write long winded replies, but this one hurts, every time i get excited about our bois, something like this happens....

i dont need to say it, you all feel my pain....

GBO, GoVols, AllVol, VFL

Nothing jaded about it. In the grand scheme of things the outcome of a game has no effect on any of our lives. It's entertainment. Nothing more.

I really wish I was apathetic.

Same here.

I have been very cautious with Butch up until this year.

However, I bought the preseason hype and went all in after being at the Florida game with my two sons, 15 and 10.

They'd never experienced that, and I was so tickled for them. They became VFL's that day.....all in, for the first times in their lives. Dad's dream come true.

Now, ......oh boy. Disbelief. Foiled again!

I grew up a child of the 90's and watched us win often. But other than the 3-5 year span of 97-02, we lost games we were supposed to and won games we were supposed to with a few miracle games. (LSU after the hurricane, Fl after 9/11, breaking Miami's home win streak) Then someone posted our win totals based on decades and other than the 90's, were a very good 8-4 team most of the time. It was like in Hear no Evil, see no evil" when Richard Pryor was shocked to find out he wasn't white. All these years I've been believing we were a powerhouse but in reality we were a really good team with a few great years mixed in. I love my VOLs and know we CAN be a powerhouse but it's going to take all parties at TN to make good decisions.
