Butch says our D-line has "always" lined up a yard back. Is immediately proven wrong

I called no names. No need to, check nearly any thread and you'll see people calling out others for having negative feelings about this administration/ coach. It wasn't specifically in reference to you, just the pervasive avoidance of "live and let live" around here. We have a number of layman psychoanalysts who feel the need to label and diagnose anyone who disagrees with conventional sentiment.

The avoidance of "Live and let live" around these parts because some of us take your public comments, parse them, and post about them, huh? That's rich, considering the number of people who take a "live and go for the throat" attitude about every conceivable public nugget they can get with the staff, or anyone who offers a not-quite-so-hateful interpretation of said nuggets.

But, you keep doing you. Ya'll keep doing ya'll. I'll keep doing me and we'll keep doing us on Freak's free Tennessee Football discussion forum, eh?

Would you classify this post as live and let live? Would you say calling someon a “laymen psychoanalyst” is labeling them?

Only if they are truly a mental health professional. If he is board certified I'll be sure and log a personal apology.

It is your choice to contribute to the EDUCATION of student athletes at the University of Tennessee. The University owes you nothing for the contribution except that which is offered, a choice (or not) to buy season tickets to the sport(s) you choose to attend.

Oh and you also get to take the donation as a deduction for taxes.

Sure it does. You asked if calling someone a layman psychoanalyst was "labeling" them. I responded by suggesting it is, but only if they are ACTUALLY a board certified mental health professional. (Because if they were TRULY a psychiatrist I would be "labeling" them incorrectly.)

This doesn't really matter. I'm just Nega'...what do I know?

It was labeling. Lol. But no, it doesn’t matter. It only matters when we’re talking about the folks your earlier post was direct at, I suppose.

Context Freak....my response is what does not matter. The die is cast, the lines are drawn. This board is as divided as the fanbase, and there is no room for dissent. All I did was take up for a guy that was told he needed to step away from being a fan because he was bothered by the state of the program. He was borderline accused of narcissism because of it. My only point was that it seemed that some people were more concerned with his state of mind than he was the program. I found it a little ironic.

Sorry. Not sorry. My feelings aren't hurt, and I'm certainly not sensitive.

Anybody else?

I know what he posted and I know what you posted. I still think you’ve missed my point or just don’t want to acknowledge it. No worries.

Well...why don't you do me the courtesy of explaining it to me? Feel free to use crayons if you think my intellect warrants it.

Nah. Didn’t question your intellect. I figured you were just dodging my point. I can’t really explain it any better than I already did.

And I bet those that said NO after seeing how the Knoxville media and fan base react to the littlest of things fully believe they made the right decision.

You sure UT didn't just pony up? This has always been one of the best jobs in college football, no matter the circumstances.

Well, they do seem to attract just enough jughead fans that do and say the most really ignorant crap to cause all of us to be regarded as morons.

Other than that? I don't get it.

That's the accepted narrative of many in the pro-Butch faction. He's the only one that would take this horrible job....we should be grateful.

It's a great job, but I don't it carries quite the weight nationally that fans think it does.

Top 10-15 easily. History, facilities, fan support, tradition, conference, National prominence.

The administration hurt us in the first couple of hires after Fulmer...by that I mean Cheek. After the Kiffin and Dooley go-around the damage was done to our National perception. It made the last hire difficult, for sure. But I think we were undersold.

I’d go along with top 15. I think many would argue higher. Maybe I’m wrong.
