I don't usually rip people.... However, you have no foresight... You do not understand the amount of hardwork that the players (you know te ones you're protesting) have a full school schedule and a full work (practice) schedule... The amount of blood sweat and tears that happen in efforts to win and please the fans are amazing. Of course, your argument is.... Well we don't want to protest te players just the Administration... And that would further drive tht nail in your "empty neyland" argument... Go to another team... In fact don't go to another team... You need to leave the people that actually care and are doing something good for the university... You're a joke.

Yeah, but the cooks work awful hard to make those turd burgers. You want them to go to waste? You want the turd burger Restaurant to close down? Get in here and eat your turd sandwich right now before it gets cold...we got rocky top playing in here too.

If they hire Steele we 100% have to empty Neyland. As long as we are willing to buy a subpar product, they'll keep giving it to us

We have subpar administration, subpar ADs, subpar coaches, and subpar intelligence among the donors and fanbase.

Is this the Hunt for Red October?

Yep, People were like "give your tickets to kids" or "go to the game for the boys!"

That is partly why we are here now and have been the past 8 years.

We no longer have people in charge who care about athletics as the face of the University. The BOT & Administrators are perfectly fine with a mediocre football program (and Athletic Department as a whole) they know that as long as we can have 6-7 wins a season we the sheep are more than likely to still going to show up and wave our shakers and put 95-100K+ in Neyland on any given fall Saturday.

They don't want to match the Top (Insert Sport) programs across the country in paying coaches.

They don't care about SEC Titles or competing for National Championships.

They now want to focus on getting academics to the same standard of Vanderbilt, Stanford, Northwestern or even the Ivy league schools.

I think the administration got a clear message from the Twitter/social media revolt. Fans sent them a clear message of doom if they continued Haslamism.

A caller called in yesterday and made a good point.

What if Kelly accepted the UF job and Mullen was Currie's #1 choice? How different would UT be perceived at this point? I'm guessing most fans would have come around and concluded Currie did a good job.

Having Schiano as THE backup plan was Currie's downfall. I'm really glad Schiano isn't UT's head coach. Good coach, just not as HC for UT.

I would have never accepted Mullen. Would have been a terrible hire.

Instead people fell for the "true fans" call from the administration.

If Tennessee fans came together then all this would have been avoided and Tennessee administrators would have gotten the clear voice then and Schiano would have NEVER been Tennessee's first choice.

All of this would have been avoided and Tennessee would have been in a great spot to hire the dream list hires.....

Hopeful we get Pruitt today.... will take a few years but what Tennessee is left choosing from he is the best choice. Hope he can get this ship into harbor before it sinks.

Look, economic principles always work. There are enough people making statements that the rest of us that want to relax and cheer on our Vols, can do so while the rest make statements. Was it hard to watch them play this season, Yes, but that doesn't mean I should boycott them.

The more who boycott, the more powerful the statement and the larger the economic impact

Yeah right lol. Haslam would still be here. And you think other coaches around the country would look at Tennessee as MORE ATTRACTIVE if the stadium was empty? Wow. You have to work for a think tank somewhere.

'Empty Neyland'.... can you imagine the stampede of transfers and lost recruits if that had worked?

The players realize that the Administration CAN NOT allow the inmates to run the institution, although the younger fans still think they can. Time for the Administration to get the backbone to make the decisions. If those fans don't want to come to the games, others will, especially when we start winning again.
