Ive been a fan of this team as far back as my memory goes, ive celebrated huge wins and had my heart broken over devestating losses.

I have always supported this team, not because it was a winning team or had the most media attention, but because Im a Tennessean. Because this is my team. This is my home and my pride.

I take pride when I watch my team clawing their way back after a complete meltdown the past few years. Being a fan isnt about the wins... though theyre great to enjoy, its about standing behind your team.

A fan doesnt trash their team every time they open their mouth. Yes, watching lose after lose hurts, and it hurts more that our rivals are getting win after win. But Id rather be a Vol with a losing record than a bamer, gator, cock or bulldog no matter what accolade, because thats who I am, and this is the team I have invested my pride and heart in to.

Those of you here being so negative about everything week after week is showing how little you have invested in our team. The only thing more painful than the loses, is having to share my team with you.

No I dont think we will go out and beat a team like bama from a logical stand point... but I believe my team can beat anyone on any given day because at some point we will. At some point we will be the team we once were. Youre blind if you cant see that happening. Did we lose to Kentucky? Yes. Did we go out and shove the ball down Georgias mouth? Yes.

The bad comes with the good. Deal with it like a man, like a Vol. Take the adversity and feed off of it. I promise you the adversity this team is feeding off of is from its own stupid fanbase.

We arent going to win every game, get over it. Next week is coming, another chance to take our pride back is coming with it. Get behind this team or go cheer for Notre Dame or Ohio St.

We arent a banwagon team. We're a team with a fighting tradition... win or loss. Knock us down and we'll get back up. If its a number by our name on the tv screen you want, then grow up. I want fans around me that will support our team in the rough, not chastise them for the growing pains

Another "what is to be sarcastic to hide my insecurities" reply.

When tennessee starts to lose, you probably change the channel and cheer for LSU.

I dont know what it takes to be a real fan, but I know what it takes to undercut and undermine our team. And you seem to have that.

Don't be stupid. We all love the Vols. Some of us are tired of seeing our football team slowly become Vanderbilt. Dooley can't beat a relevant SEC team. He can't beat any ranked team. Yet, the "true fans" come out after every loss to talk about the how Dooley needs more time. What has he shown any of you that makes you think 1, 2, 3 more years is warranted?

Exactly what I am doing. I feel more secure already.

Indeed. Because if one watches the entire game then one will never criticize.

I am always undermining this team; on Saturday, I snuck into the locker room and sprayed Pam on Patterson's and Neal's gloves (the week prior, I sprayed Pam on Hunter's gloves).

Anyway, thanks for the laughs; and, I am truly sorry that you must share your team with so many terrible fans.

Prime examples. If you dont agree, dont post. Its that easy.

And yes I do own stock in this team, in the form of 20 years, and the next twenty, and the twenty after that.

If you dont feel like its your team, why even care. You dont. You just come here to post and see what kind of a rise you can get out of people.

Im not complaining about complainers, im just stating, if you dont want to stand behind the team, why are you wasting your time and breathe cutting them down.

I wouldnt cheer on memphis, but I would waste my time cutting them down either.

We come to talk about a common interest and common love in tennessee.... and you just come to bash. Why? Because the other kids at school say alabama is cooler and tennessee sucks?

Once you realize that this is a message board and there are going to be different opinions, things will be easier for you.

Wow what a prick of a douchebag post. Keep rootin for Kansas. I'm sure they can always use another bandwagon fan.

I am sure that they would appreciate all the fans they can get; it is certainly less frustrating to root for an Athletic Department that knows they ought to shell out big money for big time coaches when there is a coaching vacancy and not risk the success of their flagship sport.

Winner. We love the Vols and want the best coach available to take them on the field.

You're right... we're not going to win every game. Especially if the opponent is ranked.

Disliked.
