You're also kidding yourself if you don't think you'll see threads made if we lose against Texas A&M that wants to bash the team or Butch for that matter.

Show me a fanbase that doesn't have this. Did you happen to read any bammer boards after the OM loss last year?

You'll be very surprised on how some individuals on here want us to lose games just so they can get rid of Butch Jones. Considering he's brought us back to back bowl game wins and has us sitting at 5-0 this season. Want to talk about something dumb? That's what I consider dumb. And you wonder why Tennessee isn't an attractive job as it used to be? You're also kidding yourself if you don't think you'll see threads made if we lose against Texas A&M that wants to bash the team or Butch for that matter.

2 things..
1. i don't pay attention to those threads, because they're as useless as the "calling out the negavol" threads.

2. i'll leave you with the same challenge i did Reader, by all means, seek out those individuals and have it out. leave the rest of us out of it, you're still barking up the wrong tree here.

and lastly, you're right. i'm as sure as can be that if we lose there will be threads primed and ready to bash CBJ, and i'm equally as confident that if we win, there'll be threads calling out "nega vols".

it goes both ways and both are just dumb

The "calling out Negavols" threads are ridiculous. I don't think I have ever considered myself a negavol, but to read that **** after every victory is annoying. We beat UF for the first time in 11 years and all you could see were these threads.

I don't understand why we wouldn't be considered the underdog. We are ranked lower than them and playing on their home field.

Makes total sense.

Also, to avoid having this thread pop up next week, we will also be the underdog against Bama. And also, water is wet.

If you ain't first, your last. Shake and bake!

Speaking of people who make dumb threads when we are losing....... Still think Butch is a gutless coward?

The whole negavol thing is stupid anyway, then to suggest those that have been critical of Jones in the past are "dying for us to lose" is ridiculous and dumb.

Bashing the team or the coach makes sense. They are the ones actually producing the results on the field.

Bashing fans on a message board is the definition of stupidity and pointlessness.

I hope they win and think they will win, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone is surprised that we are the underdog in this game.

Same.

I can understand being pissed if "everyone" was saying we had no shot to win, but that's hardly the case. Getting pissy over being the underdog is just looking for a reason to complain.

I'll take my beating. Being wrong for the first time in a decade isn't a bad record. Nobody in the world saw that second half coming. If you say differently you are the worst kind of liar. You are just taking advantage of a situation that miraculously turned out in your favor. Pretty weak and gutless if you ask me.

I said Tennessee would hold A&M to 10 points. Re-read the first sentence of the post haha

Also, side note but Austin Allen is a really good QB.

Dobbs is no slouch either, and my bad on misreading your post. That said, I don't think we hold you guys to 10 points either.

Um... Even if the second half didn't happen, I wouldn't consider Butch Jones a gutless coward. That's just dumb. Even if we lost that game, it wouldn't change the fact that your thread was beyond overreacting and dumb.

Is just pissing the team off. Thanks fans and media! If you haven't noticed, this team plays best when they are cornered. Tennessee will play it's most complete game of the year against TAMU because you have told them they can't win. Vols roll.

I'm surprised the line has not moved much.

No, I am not! Im saying please keep being negative to all the media and fans! We need all the juice we can get for this one and this team will respond accordingly.

Saying a team is the underdog isn't necessarily "negative", in this case it's pretty objective.

No. If you don't fall into that category then quit getting your panties in a wad.

Yep. I'm not some kind of oracle here to tell you when the vols are going to pull out a miracle win. I just respond to what I see the team doing. You know, actual results. I'm tired of being called negative for pointing out obvious things to people who refuse to consider it.

That's all. I love the vols more than anyone and want them to return to dominance more than anyone. Most of which have never seen them actually be dominant.

i don't disagree with that, and as some one that gets labeled a negavol fairly regularly, i get that.

but this notion that you'd rather be right....well thats where we part ways.
