Did anyone else notice the crowd boo’ing when JG went in the game?

Screw you! When they stop charging those prices for tickets, I will care about his feelings and change my mind on what is acceptable for fans to convey at games.

You should probably save your money and watch it on tv. Then you can yell and scream and throw things if it makes you feel better and no one will care.

Recruits definitely see those kinds of things. They are young but you had better believe they have feelings to.

So you’re good with it. Gotcha. Or not. Maybe. 😬

Seriously, you’re against it but for people being able to do what they want. I get it I guess.

Probably not a good look, but I'd place the blame on the athletic department. The result over that past decade along with getting a peek of how dysfunctional the athletic department runs during the last coaching search, has forever disgruntled part of the fan base.

Sounds about right from a guy who doesn't know how a T stands.

Didn't say I participated. I am indicating that at the prices charged for these events, an elevated expectation is created. In that case, what constitutes proper etiquette can shift dramatically. College football has crossed that threshold in many minds. This is the exact same principle at play in the decline of etiquette in youth and children's sports. Once you turn it into a large, uncaring business enterprise, patience and understanding evaporate. It's not good, but I completely understand it from those investing heavily into it.

That brings up an interesting point.

I wasn't at the game but got several txts about Pruitt putting him in the game. (None of them including me knew BM was dinged up at the time). Makes you wonder if the venom was directed at Pruitt rather than the QB.

Doesn't matter to the player. Getting booed or getting your coached booed is pretty much the same thing from his point of view.

Im not claiming any different. Right now Pruitt is catching more heat from UT fans than JG.

Pretty simple. At high costs, people will not be patient or graceful; and its understandable. It is much more difficult to ask someone not to boo a kid at a $100 football game than a $6 football game.

I fail to see the correlation. I think it’s in poor taste to boo players at $6 games too.

I was in section O, and I didn't hear and vol fans bong JG.

It could have been an unfortunate coincidence, but booing was clearly audible on the broadcast. I thought it was JG's entrance into the game that provoked it. It thought it was bad, but with so many drunks at every college football game these days, I was not surprised.

You sure it wasn't the UGA fans booing the penalty?

Etiquette clearly is relative to the monetary value of the game and de-personalization of turning sports into a cold industry.

I could maybe see your point if you were making a distinction between professional players vs amateur but people are free to pay whatever the going rate is to be there or not. I just can’t see verbally berating 18-22 year olds over how they are playing a game. I can’t help but put myself in the position of one of their parents and have to watch that kind of thing happen. I just don’t think it’s appropriate.

Definitely Not a good luck.

Fans have been booing players for years. I remember Manning jogging onto the field (1994) and some of the crowd booed as they wanted Brandon Stewart.

That is disgraceful and pathetic. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on with JG, that man has sweat and bled for this program. He has put his body through absolute hell trying to win games. He was BM’s biggest fan and first level of support Saturday.

Everyone who was booing, screw you. JG deserves more respect right now than you ever will in your entire lifetime.

I think people didn't realize Maurer was hurt and that is why JG was brought in. They simply thought Pruitt was swapping QBs and the fans were booing Pruitt for giving up on Maurer.
