Ugh!
Negative people want to be right basically. It's easier to fail than to succeed and more likely given UT's recent history. I guess people just don't realize that sometimes negativity leads to self-fulfilling prophecies. Who do you admire more: The person who says after we win this game (beat Alabama) we get a cupcake next week. They say this every week no matter what the outcome was last week...Or the person who says we are gonna get boat-raced?Sometimes being right should not be the objective. Being supportive and positive creates results.
It will never be enough for the negavols. They are not happy unless they are miserable.NOPE

What say ye, @BeardedVol @beamerman ??
The forever negative folks are not the ones packing Neyland. They are mostly the ones griping without any real investment of any kind, the entitled ones.
Apologies my dear fellow, I thought you self-identified as a negavol. If not, mea culpa.
In any event, do you not agree that it is better to support the administration/players unreservedly unless there are behavior/conduct issues that would preclude that type of aid?
Have you actually been to a game in the last decade? I have, multiple games per season until 2017, and the sentiment in the stands was not a good one with everyone within earshot talking about whether or not the team will actually show up, or whether the coaches will have figured out how to coach yet.That's not what I said at all; RIF.

How could I possibly get a ticket with all you negative folks grabbing them?Have you actually been to a game in the last decade?

Hell most were already talking about when they should leave to try beat traffic, before the game even started.
He understood the risk, but determined it was worthwhile to set a tone. It was not a statement made off the cuff. With fan emotions where they are today, it was a calculated risk that a tone could be set without endangering fan emotions to any further detriment. Dan uses communication and social media more wisely than any athletic administrator I've witnessed. He needs to harness Vol Twitter to utilize it to its full potential.Not a good look to start right out with the "fan police" routine.
A certain contingent here will be tickled as H*ll, though
There will be people on this board who get mad if we don’t win 9 games this year and blame the coach for being incompetent no matter the circumstancesNegative people want to be right basically.
