Making a statement with your feet is Very American.
You get bad food or service at a restaurant, u stay away.
If those people who feel they have no other non violent or otherwise inappropriate way to show their displeasure with the current product at Neyland than to stay away, that is an appropriate way to do so.
I’d much rather them do this than to harass any of our players, coaches or their families in person or on social media.

You get it. Dont let the false propaganda of the UTAD control you.

The players are not small children. They understand what's going on. The worst part for the players is that they are not being developed. We have ton's of 5 * Recruits that haven't gotten any better under Butch and co.

Agree with me or disagree, but I will not attend the game this weekend or the rest of the season until Butch is gone. I will not buy gear until he is gone.

For the record, I have 3 tickets to this weekends game. I'm not using them and I'm not selling them. Add those 3 seats the the rest of the empty seats

Cool, you paid for the seats.

How does it do anything to recruiting? We gonna start getting new commits with Hoke at the helm?

Team morale is not a problem, don't confuse that with being poorly coached.

Fan morale is like the weather

Team morale is a problem. It got worse after the FL game. Most of them guys are playing for each other or the position coach. They don't even pay Jones any attention on the sideline.

The administration of this program and the Alabama program are direct, polar opposites. Our program is a laughingstock and it's because of Butch and John Currie. Not the fans. Try to run a successful business where you displease your customers and you blame the customers for your failures. It won't work and you'll be out of business immediately.

Actually ultimately Haslam is the one that pull Curries strings.

Tennessee seniors address #EmptyNeyland campaign by fans

SIAP. But from the link: “I understand their frustration to a certain extent, we’re the ones playing the games,” Robertson said. “At the same time, I’m a senior from the state of Tennessee. I love this place. When I came here, it was to play in front of a great fan base like we have. So, only thing I’d say to them is, ‘We appreciate the support they’ve given us this year. We look forward to them giving us the same type of support.’”

If anyone still thinks this emptyNeyland crap is still something you are willing to do, then turn in your big orange fan card and go be a fan of another team.

Well this doesn't help at all.

One players says come out and get loud, the other player says it's irrelevant to anything. Not only is our fan base divided about boycotting games, so is the team.

I think the noise helps Vickers.

I trust the players to destroy SM. They need to get over Butch. He is gone. It's all about the new guy. Go out, have fun and win.

Why not?

Go Vols!

So if Jones is fired it's not gonna matter for most either way.

Maybe they should have started earlier.

What you do doesn't mater. What I do doesn't matter. What happens will be decided by players, coaches, and business men.

The players need to play.

The coaches need to coach.

The business men need to find our new coach for next year.

How much for your 3 tickets? I might be able to work something out. What's the amount?

If you want to go to the game there will be plenty of tickets for sale outside the stadium.

Counterfeit tickets is a real thing. As I was going into a game this year, I heard 3 guys tell a Police Officer they bought fake tickets from a scalper. Along those same lines, I had an extra pair of ticket once, sold them for $40 each. Had to make change for a guy. He gave me a $100 bill, I gave him 2 tickets and a $20 bill. The tickets were real, the $20 bill was real(As far as I know.), the $100 bill was a fake. It was a $100 bill printed on a $5 bill.

Got me.

This is actually working quite well and putting the fear in the AD. That's why we are seeing AD side sources leaking out that his harms the coaching search or harms the players etc. This harms their wallet, nothing else. They want you to come and buy up merchandise and food and stay out of their business. Just give them your money and shut up. No more. John Currie could end this movement this afternoon and he'd be praised for it. But he won't. It's all on him.

I agree with you.
I think Currie is a “yes man” and that sucks!

So make decision because people are pissed? Who gives a $#!+ if it's the right decision?

Sounds like your looking for more of the same results. I'm ready for somebody to get it right. If that takes til Thanksgiving so be it.

Do you honestly think they are even entertaining the idea of bringing him back? Assuming he even wants to?

he couldn't selll 'em if he tried. there's a movement out there dictating people shouldn't go to the game.

street value has plumeted......

oh, and we suck. and the opponent doesn't really ruffle feathers. and the weather is going to be bad.

all signs point to that stock trending down.

wonder what it'll look like for the LSU game?

isn't boycotting the USM game kinda like suspending your best player for the 1st half of the home opener against inept tech? instead of a game that really matters?

:eek:lol:

Butch is fired and Sexton is looking for a coaching spot for him. Buyout has been settled. May as well support the seniors and the team. Let’s not make ourselves look so dumb that a good coach won’t want to come.

I disagree 100%. We as fans pay our hard earned money to watch and cheer on our team. They do not pay us. As die hard Vol fans, all we ask is to put the best product on the field as possible and make changes when that is not the case. This BJ coddling has been one of the biggest dumpster fire's I have ever witnessed as a fan. I hate the Gators as much as everyone else on here but how is it that they lose to 3 decent teams (LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia) and fire their coach and we lose to 3 awful teams (Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky) to go along with Alabama and Georgia and our coach comes out to say "Nothing has changed" in regards to support from our AD. How as a fan is this ok when it is OUR money we are spending week in and week out. We are the ones working 40 or more hours a week just for the opportunity to watch this fire. If the Tennessee Admin does not want to make a change, the only way to force a change it to stop showing up so it hits their pockets.

For those that say it hurts the student athletes, I call BS because what really hurts them is playing for a coach that is actually unable to get them better and not qualified for the job they signed up for. Neyland has been pretty much full for every game this year and it sure didn't change the outcome against South Carolina or Georgia. It wont be the end of the world to put 30,000 in the seats this Saturday to send a message that change needs to be done and it needs to be done now!

Just STFU! In case you haven't figured it out the football team exists for the sole purpose of the student-athlete and the student body of the University. That's why its called interscholastic numbnuts. If we all stopped going tomorrow the football program would still exist. In what capacity or form is a different story but the UTAD owes nothing to the fan base. After this debacle, the term "greatest fan base in college football" and "Tennessee" will never be uttered in the same sentence. Ever.

Anybody honestly think that this story would have been released if not for the #EmptyNeyland movement. Admin is terrified. We finally got their attention.

Yeah, empty neyland had zero effect.....on anything. Well unless you count embarrassing the fanbase, it did do that.

Most people on this forum don’t go to the games anyway. You can tell because it’s pretty active during games. Unless they are sitting on their phones in the stadium like a bunch of tween girls.
