Your comment about Heffney is a disgrace. You should be embarrassed for even typing it.

Considering he hasn't stepped up to become the leader on D we need he has a valid point. He just took a classless way of letting us know his opinion.

There was no valid point with saying Hefney is a disgrace to the University of Tennessee. None, zero, zip.

the only thing Hamilton understands is $$$

if you don't show up and many others follow in your footsteps, he will see the light

he could care less if you walk out, hold up a sign, wear a Fire Fulmer T-shirt....as long as you show up and pay the dough...he's done his job

Hmm, well those who don't go to the game because they think pouting will help can have fun mowing their lawns or whatever.

I am actually looking at the bright side, and will be able to get my parents cheap tickets to the game Saturday.

Going or not going, wearing classless "fire so and so" gear, and calling our student-athletes disgraces because their athletic performance wasn't up to our expected standards shows a lot more about the individual's character than any player or coach's.

Notice I said he took a classless way of expressing the fact Hef isn't a leader on D right now. Hefney is a great guy and student from what I can tell at this point, but he's lack luster on the football field this year. Yes, saying Hef is a disgrace is classless and just plain moronic.

There are many ways to get a point across to the administration concerning your displeasure with the direction the program is headed. Boycotting the game isn't one of them. All you would accomplish with a boycott would be punishing the players on the field (who work their hearts out in practice and play their hearts out in games) their parents and future prospects that might be at the game. Write a letter, buy a newspaper ad, call in a radio show but we all need to attend the games if we can.

true. boycotting will only make things worse. and besides, if you really want to have an effect, you have to boycott a big game on national television...like Georgia.

Maybe the fact that Heffney isn't giving it his all. He's not stepping up and providing leadership. He doesn't deserve to start at safety.

So he's a disgrace to the univ? You took a direct shot at him as a person, not a player. It was out of line and a crap post.

I didn't take a shot at him as a person, he's a great person. But it's his responsibility to step up and be a leader. He's done nothing to accept the role. Couple of times yesterday he could have made a tackle and backed out. And Bobby Scott said it best, Tebow gained the physcological advantadge with Hef out there tapping his helmet. Then again, the Vols don't have that competitive intimidation anymore.

If this isn't then your writing skills need work.

I didn't mean the school, he just represented the school badly in these first 3 games. I figured most people could intereprit it better, guess I was wrong.

As long as games are selling out, the university will not see a problem. Money coming in = all is well.

They don't care about people wearing shirts or carrying signs. You can send all the e-mails and letters you want. Makes zero difference.

If people really want to make a change, they'll quit going to games. That's the only way Tennessee will take notice.

An organized boycott of the UL-Lafayette game is already in the works.

Like we didn't know that, you make a defenseive argument about everyone of them, instead of accepting the fact that they're not giving it there all.

They are still stepping on the field for UT and our entertainment. Talent or not, these guys deserve our respect. Maybe you can understand that one day

And it's gotten to the point that people believe this staff is hurting players more than not attending games.
