The sheep are the ones are still willing to go to the game and pay money for concessions and have a good time and act like nothing at all is wrong.

The University administration is now run by people who only care about education they want to be like Vanderbilt or Stanford or some of those northeast schools who don't really care if the athletic teams win games.

Bev & John they will be excited if every 6 or 8 years we have a great team and win 10 or 11 games and are ranked in the top 10 but that is all. They are perfectly fine with records like 7-5 , 8-4 or the occasional 9-3 or even 6-6 as long as people show up and have a good time.

Just look at the plan to take out seats at Neyland for the addition of fancy suits/boxes. Those people pay big money but really don't care at the end of the day if the team wins or loses as long as they can put on there fancy orange dresses and hats or polo shirts and khakis and have a good time with there friends for a few hours.

You have no idea what you're talking about lol. Butch is fired regardless if 10k, 50k or 102k people show up. NOBODY ever said nothing is wrong. You stopped going in 2001, the year when we ya know, were in title conversation at the end of the year.

How dare someone be a true fan and show up and support the players and have a good time, what has this world come to!!!

When a crowd shows up and gets loud for the Vols all these empty threats can be put in their place. A trash can. 121 can turnover a new leaf and win out.

Go Vols!

Wrong again, not all people who go to the games are desperate for an ego boost. We want the Vols to win because we enjoy it and we want the program to succeed.

If you don't like the program just walk away and find someone else to hate on.

I have some sad news for you. When the team wins, it does not make you a winner. You are still a loser if are just going to complain the moment something doesn't go your way and exactly when you want it.

Only you can make yourself a winner or loser.

How has that worked out for the past 20 years?

Look you don't have to be for the empty Neyland movement.

It's each fans choice.

Attacking the ones of us who are tired of not being heard and are coming together to make a stand only speaks volumes on yourself.

This is trending on twitter
Every sports news outlet is picking it up.
It's here it's real.
It's impossible for the AD to ignore now.

You don't have to support it.
If you do, let's bring change.

Just because Currie hasn't made a move yet doesn't mean he doesn't hear the fans. He hears them lol. Emptying Neyland will not do anything except make the university lose money, Butch will be fired regardless. It makes zero difference. Fans are irrational

You sure? Anyone in there right mind thought he would have been canned three weeks ago. At this point if they somehow beat Southern Miss, Missouri LSU & Vandy I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bring him back with staff changes for 2018.

Ignorance. Butch could win out and he will not be the HC in 18'

Butch Jones STOLE checkered Neyland from the fans. Let's give him the fans vote on him.

Us as fans have a vote. I hope, hope, hope this has been enough for Currie. But let's show no doubt.

There is a #emptyneyland going. Fans get behind this leave no doubt on what we will tolerate.
We all are screaming to fire Butch, fire Currie.

It's simple join empty Neyland movement if Butch remains head coach through tomorrow midday.

This will force the change that is needed. And the fans only vote.

Burn tickets on social media. Tag in Currie,Jones,and sports media outlets.

We all support the players. Let's help them remove the man (Butch Jones) that is hurting their development and causing them losses.

You all could be more effective without emptying the stadium and still support the players.

Recruits and players haven't been jumping ship because there are not enough people in the stands. They are jumping ship because Butch is still coaching and there is a lack of leadership in the administration. This is only going to get worse when Butch doesn't make a bowl game.

Only 3 players have decommitted. 2 of which we stopped recruiting a while ago. Nice try though. Butch is fired regardless if there's 10k or 100k in the stands

You're missing the point.

Currie can put a stop to this by breaking his silence.
This is up to the AD office and administration to give the fans the right to a good football product if the fans spend $$$.

And at this point after making Tennessee the laughing stock of college football. The fans deserve to KNOW it's over.

Not "well Currie must be thinking this, Currie is clearly thinking that, Currie has Gruden locked up this week, now its next week. Wait check that 5 game playoff. Check out the tennis team guys

The past 20 years have been great for me.

I have seen many wins and many loses. I want the team to make progress but I don't have to have a win on Saturday to be a winner the rest of the week. While the Vols are a part of my world, it is not my world. There are many other opportunities in life to be successful than counting on young men to make you feel that way.

I think it is time for Butch to be replaced but it is a loser attitude to expect it to happen because you demand it or organize other losers to join you.

I have no reason to doubt that Currie is in the process of making a change.

I wish you could have had a better 20 years.

So firing Butch suddenly puts a good football team on the field? Lol no. The team isn't gonna suddenly get better by firing Butch. Firing Butch now instead of 4 weeks does nothing for 2018. He's not gonna be here regardless! Anyone with half a brain knows this

I have a better idea. Why don’t you support the players by cheering them on at homecoming. You aren’t supporting the players and you sure aren’t a Tennessee Vol. Pathetic.

I think you missed the point. He said if you spend your money and still go you have no right to complain. Some people can voice their concerns and still be an adult.

Again, just because I still go does not mean Butch will be back next year. I have voiced my opinion to UTAD and UTFund. I've missed 1 home game since I was able to get my season tickets in 1996. Still have seen coaches fired.

Its no different than going to eat at a restaurant and at said restaurant you find rat droppings in your peas. You complain to the mgr leave a bad yelp review, but go back the very next week. This time you find horse manure in your potatoes. You complain to the mgr and leave another bad yelp review. Well come wifes anniversary with two bad experiences you again go back to the same restaurant for a romantic dinner, and both of your plates come out smelling like it had been bathed in a sewer. You now visibly upset complain to the mgr and hope he corrects it. He says he will well he brings your food back it still smells of s**t but on a different plate. You get up walk out and swear to never come back. Well come Thanksgiving your back hoping things changed, but guess what it hasnt. You find turkey droppings in your turkey stuffing. You complain to the mgr. Well this time he replies Well Mr. Ed youve been here 4 times now and each time our product has been some sort of s**t. you complain, but you always came back so i figured you just really liked our s*** because if you didnt you wouldnt keep coming back. You can complain until the cows come home, but when your complaints fall on death ears you have to make a stand..youve got to stand for something or you will fall for anything..

He is the main thing.

If your tired of Tennessee loosing and want better for Tennessee. Support empty Neyland movement until at least Currie has made it clear with words or actions. Not well I bet or I know he is THINKING this or that.

If you don't care if Tennessee wins or looses you just love the team. By all means go support pay $$ to the school and be happy.

It's each persons decision. If you do go to games then don't complain about the results or want change. Currie has made it clear you as a fan in the seat mean absolutely nothing to him.

The players are being hurt by Butch.
Supporting instant removal of Butch is supporting the players.

Swain even said on his show today Tyler Bird tweeted out that he understands and the players understand it's not directed to them it's to the coaches.

I find it interesting that you hear so much about the "brand" yet they are willing to tarnish that brand for the closest thing they can muster to personal power. They bash a coach and an AD that they could never match in terms of power.
Click to expand...

The AD and coaches have been effectively tarnishing the "brand" you speak of for decades now. In fact, that personal power you're talking about seems to reside in the Upper management and decision makers lack of desire to compete on a championship level anymore.

The fans are tired of being force-fed a 2nd rate product and being told to stop complaining and enjoy it. Nationally, we are perceived to be on the level of Vandy, Missouri and Kentucky these days. Any "brand" equity we had left from the 90s/early 2000s is gone. We are a joke. We haven't won our own division in a decade. A historically bad decade in the East.

If you enjoy that, please feel free to go to the game. No one is stopping you.

Considering your attitude, you should be thrilled that you are GIVEN a 2nd rate anything.

I enjoy the team much more when they are winning more but I don't feel the need to bash everyone associated with the program when things don't go my way.

By the way, if we in such a bad shape don't expect a coach better than Butch to come here. Your little attempt to protest and bash will not attract better recruits or a better coach.

The tarnishing of the brand is more by how a program and it's fans go about their business. Most mature and rational adults understand that organizations go though good and bad times even when trying to stay on top at all times. The losers and those that don't contribute to success are those that show their true nature when times are not the best.

I have a belief that the program will improve but little hope that your character will.
