it has everything to do with non-season ticket holders wanting to know how you represent our ticketholders. what you don't understand there is a ticket-holding subculture in Vol Nation that represents us non-ticket holders who live out of town. Just as we are non-ticket holders out of town expanding the Vol Nation all over the country. (who fly into knox for three games a year. I spend $2,400 as a yearly average on my knox football trips. i wanted to know the commitment of those who would be willing to sacrifice their investments. Both, non-ticket and ticket holders are essential and both should represent one another where they reside. There is a lot to be said concerning how the season ticket-holders represent us all in Vol Nation. Don't shallow your thinking...it segregates the nation.

Man, I have no idea what you are saying here. Can I get a translation - anybody?

Tickets people don't want could be put to much better use around Knoxville. To hold and not go is stupid.

That's your opinion. Everyone has the right to protest in their own way.

What will I do if Tennessee loses to Georgia?

I will fly to Tupelo Mississippi next Friday and drive down to Starkville for the game with the Bulldogs.

I will still do whatever I can to get off work by 3:00 the next week and watch our boys take on the Crimson Tide.

I will drive down 2 hours to Knoxville (if I can get my shift covered in time) to watch our boys take on Spurrier and the 7-1 USC Gamecocks.

I will hopefully go to the Homecoming game, but if I can't get off, my wife will go with someone.

I will again drive two hours and go to the Arkansas Game and watch our boys play the Hogs.

I will drive the two hours one last time this season and watch our boys take on the Commadores.

I will then drive the 5-6 hours to Lexington and watch the Vols take on the Wildcats.

After that, I'll probably end up going to the bowlgame.

It's more than the record that gets me to the games. (I went to every game except Bama in 05)

Well whoopee-do! Maybe Phil will let you run through the Tee with the team!
lol:

I gave up my season tickets awhile back. I may only attend one game this year and that is because my son and I will be hiking in the Smokies around the South Carolina game. I don't feel I have to come 300 plus miles to Knoxville to suffer the abysmal brand of football put forth by our current coaching staff. Since I am not a big money contributor, my only voice of displeasure for the current football program is to stay away.
