If I was a player I would be offended by the stupid fans that would think boycotting my game would be something I would want.

Last year when this came up a player said boycotting fans were the enemy.

That was brought out to be at the urging of Butch Jones for players to do that calling us the fans the enemy.

Time to end the war then.

The coaching community knows Jones sucks, the players know, and now the fans know.

That's true. In 2008 there was no way for people without tickets and no plans to attend a game to announce that they weren't going to a game.

If I were a player I would be offended that you consider them so dumb to think this is about them. These guys live on social media. You don't think they "get" what the noise is about? It is in their best interest to get Butch out of there also. Currie won't do anything. Us taking action only helps them.

Id agree long term. I think some are just making the crazy assumption he has any avenue to win his way into 18'. Im not convinced he wants to be here any longer. He knows the snake oil has run its course and he is exposed.

To the players. If they thought in in their best interest for Jones to not finish the season you might want to tell them. Trey Smith is still trucking fools like his life depends on it and Ty Chandler is trying to house it every time he touches the ball.

According to Currie, it has not.

so? you think he's going to be here next year? you think we haven' starting vetting? really think we're doing nothing? waiting/hoping for him to save his job?

there's nothing to say publicly until there is.

That's the key. Half these dudes claiming to have tickets are full of crap. It's all about letting everyone know they're mad and not gonna take it anymore. Rawr!


Manufactured bravado.

Or, waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.


One of the two.

You saw the article from the times free press right?

There is legitimate talk about bringing Butch back.

The hell if I know. But the Saban train was just cranking up. It's not like they brought 25,000 fans.

yep. the stadium emptied of TN fans and all that was left was the bama fans that came. it wasn't like half the stadium was full of bama fans to begin with.

Yep.

He tried to get out last year and a lot of people didn't want to believe it.

Sexton was hired for the buyout that was coming.

You never did answer my question . Why are YOU not going to the game? You were soliciting someone earlier in this thread to give you tickets then why don you just go to the game and buy some. Instead you are here trying to convince other people to go.

well, i'll just re state. if he is retained, boycot all you want. when it counts. this off season. don't renew your season tickets, withhold your donation up front.

don't boycott homecoming, when the money is already spent. it's literally cutting off your nose to spite your face.

the money has been spent, it's in the coffers. the only thing you're depriving anyone of, is your own enjoyment of spending a saturday in knoxville doing many of the things you grew up doing that made you love TN football in the first place.

I choose to believe the war is over.

We still have a few that want to keep fighting and are willing to embarrass the Vols unnecessarily.

Do you think there is a realistic chance for CBJ to be here next year?

Once again i have to ask why are people on here trying to convince other people to go to the game . All of you folks that don't like EMPTYNEYLAND go to the game . Show us all set an example but please quit trying to act like people are not fans for feeling different about the situation than you.

Yes, which is why this is an option. It's definitely not over.

Yes absolutely 100% on that chance.

That times news article is very concerning.

I very much trust the editors that cleared that story being written. They would not have allowed that source quoted without good confirmation on the source.
