Folks, in the victimhood culture we currently live in there is one mental health issue that is falling through the cracks.
That condition is BVS. Battered Vol Syndrome.
After nearly a decade of rollercoaster emotions, unexplained failures, rejections and abuse; the Vol fanbase has achieved its own class of victimhood.
The symptoms of BVS include:
1. A belief that the 1990s were an aberration and that we actually don't deserve to be a top tier program.
2. Certainty that any third string walk on who takes the field against us is simply using us to add drama to his Heisman campaign.
3. An inability to enjoy a lead during a game because of the knowledge that we will lose it.
4. Expectation that any reviewed call will go against us simply because we don't deserve any better.
5. A gut feeling that every opposing coach is some evil genius out of a James Bond movie, while our coaching staff consists of the Three Stooges and Patrick from SpongeBob.
6. A fear that law enforcement is looking for reasons to arrest our players while other teams have the local authorities in their pocket.
7. Finally, sufferers of BVS believe that even the weather and the playing surfaces are part of some conspiracy to keep the Big Orange in its deserved place of mediocrity.
Volnation at least gives the sufferers a support group and a place to engage in therapeutic ranting.
