Literally came across this thread just now....

I can't speak for the entire fan base but I can definitely speak for myself...who ever the guy was that said 18-22 year old kids should be able to handle public criticism better from thousands upon thousands of fans, you REALLY need to get a grip.

My 16 year old nephew is as tough a kid I know, loosing your dad at 14 will do that to a kid. He's the starting QB for a small town HS east of Nashville. The kind of small town that everybody knows everybody. There's apparently some website (Topix?) that people get on for every little city in America and gossip like school girls over every little thing going on in town...and, as HS football is king in the south, it gets discussed quite a bit.

Needless to say, his name came up. I don't know, nor do I care to know (because I'd probably want to kill some people) what was said about him but it was apparently COMPLETELY made up b.s. by someone...with little to no life. His Mom (my sis-n-law) was livid at what ever it was b/c my nephew (who took it relatively well) could not understand why someone would make up something so completely far-fetched.

We're talking about a town of MAYBE 10,000--that's 1/10 Neyland...and yes, that's just a microcosm of what is discussed on VN everyday but some how people think that just b/c they're a member of a message board, they're hiding behind a computer screen, and they happen to be a fan of a team--THAT gives them a right to criticize players on a personal level.

I don't have a problem getting angry at a player in the heat of the moment, or questioning whether a player has enough talent to start, or debating the skill level of players...that's all well and good...but PERSONAL attacks. Nuh uh. I don't get that at all.

Never have. Never will.

Being UT alum who shelled out thousands of $$$ on my education and football games, I feel some sort of ownership to this team...but I've never felt that, b/c of that, I have a true sense of what goes on in these kid's heads. These kids are here to play football. YES, it comes with a HUGE amount of publicity, national exposure, and admiration but that NEVER gives a fan the right to attack a player or outright make **** up.

ok. /rant. Flame away....

That was me. There is a difference between lies and criticism. A person should be able to handle criticism, you get it every day. Whether you are working or whatever. If one person says it, or 10,000, it is still criticism. You take what they say and improve on it.

What you are referencing about personal attacks, attacks on character and the such. I agree, that is too far. But to say a person did something wrong on the field or whatever, that is exceptable and a part of every day life. Whenever you put yourself out there in a public situation, you will get more criticism, that is a part of it. You have to be able to overcome that or you will not make it.

not superior just not gullable to think a player would out himself on a message board. It has been an interesting pattern of Nashvegas diappearing to Big Coach appearing to Big Coach disappearing to Moose appearing. Moose may not be in HS but he no TN football player..is it that hard to look at his post history?

He posted in TN football forum under Strongest Fastest claiming Zach Rogers is probably the fastest guy on the team because he competed against him in HS track. He went from spectator of track meets to superhero today apparently...

he hasnt said a single thing that people didnt already say on another site..everything about cp and bonner you could find on VQ over the past few wks. what he says about coaches is generic. You really think Eric Gordon who was just suspended from the team and reinstated would really risk Dooley knowing he is smack talking on a message board

Lol not a follower just don't like high school vandy fans that were acting like tn fans before Urkel came along. Not negative just don't like vandy high schoolers trolling the board. So of course anything posted about you is negative in your opinion being a tool and all. Mikey man your pathetic. You are drooling on this troll

In the words of PT Barnum, "There is a sucker born every minute"

This thread has magnetic power for those individuals here on VN :)


When the the guy conning you tells you about the insider info from the geo-stable institute (monitors the San Andreas Fault in CA), big quake gonna hit CA in next 40 days. usc will fall in the Pacific, CDD is just waiting to pounce on their '13 class. Info about the new CA coastline has land at extra-ordinary low prices. If you want in, he can hook you up :)

Any good con has a payout for the conman...in this case, not cash but e-fans. :)
