As bad as it is, and as bad as it could be....

Could you ever not cheer for anyone else, or would you?

I've been telling people "Trust me, if I could, I'd cheer for someone else...but my heart won't let me. Even if we're 0-12, I love the Vols. Even if we can't score a TD, I love the Vols."

My question is, would there ever be a point at which you would stop being a fan of Tennessee football? Would it take total apathy from the administration, or 10 consecutive losing seasons?

What would it take, if anything, for you to change your allegiance?

It's in my DNA. So it would take replacing every molecule in my bones and rewriting my family's history with a time machine

I thought I could. There is no way.

Sad though I wasn't upset when Tennessee didn't score at end of game last night. Was almost relieved I have no faith in Currie at this moment.

I would never become a fan of another team. That said, I've not watched as Vols game this year in person or on the TV. Won't waste my Sasturdays watching garbage.

It’s where I graduated from, so I won’t become a bandwagon fan of another school. I won’t, however, give another dime to UT as long as this mess is going on. I’m a small change guy, so my lack of giving won’t do anything to sway the school, but there’s no way I can give any support to the school.

I would give up college football completely before I would pull for any team except Tennessee. That is why its so hard to see Botch Jones f'ing up EVERY FN WEEK.

PLEASE FIRE HIM ALREADY! HE IS A FAILURE!!!

Tennessee is the only team I would buy tickets or gear for. The only team I host friends to watch with and grill some nice grub for is Tennessee. I do always seem to follow a team or two that I find fun to watch. I follow the scores and watch their important games. Miami and Iowa State have been those teams this year. If they lose I do not really care and if they win I don't get excited about it. I like watching well coached teams sneak up on people.

I cheer for a lot of teams. Always liked Clemson since my high school is the Tigers and we use their logo. Loved Ohio State during Tressel years because I'm a Youngstown State grad. There are others from time to time.

That said, I'm only a FAN of 1 team. And that won't ever change.

I will start watching fricking soccer before I pull for another team in CFB, and I will never watch soccer.

I bought Maryland jerseys when I had season tix there. Mainly because Under Armour had just started making them and they were badass and so was D'Qwell Jackson. Still didn't even route for Maryland all the time though. Just enjoyed going.

I would be lying if I said I was hoping that Hail Mary wasn't a touchdown just so we could fire Butch.

Looks like it was all for nothing? SMH!

Another college football team? Forget it. But much of the time I would spend focused on the Vols has been shifted to other sports and interests. Since I cannot influence changes needing to be made there at Tennessee, I follow other sports where there is no targeting and taunting penalties, and I don't have to listen to Rocky Top Woo.

No. Never. I’ve been a Tennessee fan my whole life and I’m 61. But I have stopped caring so much. I expect us to lose every week so it’s easier to take.
