Lost all respect for UGA players/coaching staff

Two things:
1. I don't have any respect for any other SEC school/team/tradition, nor do I care if they respect the Vols.

2. If our team had done what they were capable of doing and won the game this would not be an issue. We need a team that is going to show up and play like they've been disrespected, and not a band who plays like they have been disrespected.

Was it any more classless and childish than our band doing a Oz skit while making fun of Bama, USCe and Kentucky? Our band has been heading downhill for years and that last halftime performance should get the director fired IMO.

band def should be seen not heard.
I was aggravated at them as well, for carrying there big horns through the mob in front of the stadium. They should wait till everyone clears out.

Wouldn't mind if the band doesn't play in Neyland again.

Yea, do away with running thru the T too. Hey, i know, the players could just walk in single file from the tunnel to the side line and stand at parade rest until they were given permission to enter the game:no:

Well, just wanted to add some things that I witnessed at the game. I am a GA fan and I was sitting in II with a mix of GA/UT fans; however there was a good majority of GA fans in that section, about three rows back from where I sat. Everything was going OK until GA scored their first TD. At that point a GA fan (some student) proceeded to throw an object (shoe, shirt, something) down at the crowd below. This obviously pissed some people off and the cops came, but no one was caught given how many students there were. But that wasn't the end. GA scored the second TD, and again, another object fell and hit some UT fans. Now, this was enough to piss not just them off but GA fans as well. I had a father and son next to me and the father started shouting and cursing at the GA fans because he was so embarassed. At that point I felt pretty bad that our team was being represented by such poor conduct. But I have to say that just because certain fans act this way does not mean we are all like that. I won't apologize for their actions because I didn't do anything wrong. Just like I am not going to apologize for how players act.

So, move foward to after the game when I am walking back to my car. I get just pass the convention center near Chruch St. and I happen to look over at the traffic when I see a guy looking right at me and flicking me off. He says "f*** you, Georgia fans." I looked right at him and said "I didn't do anything wrong." In my opinion, I would say that we can equally be as rude to each other and it appears as though we are quick to pile every fan into one mass when it comes to blaming a team. I honestly had a great time at Neyland as it was my first and with the exception of those incidents, I felt welcome by many Vols. I think that when you are the visiting team you should show some respect for that team's stadium, team, fans, etc. I will admit that some of our fans acted stupidly but I don't think it's right to blame all of us.

Thanks for sharing, this happens every game but is not the norm for the majority of UT, UGA, or any SEC fans. There is always a few that pull stupid stunts like these.

Just prior to kick off as UT band was marching from field after forming the T, UGA players ran thru the ranks, to get to the north endzone to kneel and pray. It disturbed the march of the first column and some band members had to actually break rank to get around them. Totally classless and the coaching staff standing there witnessing this. The band assistants had to go over and make these players leave the field and some even refused until they finished praying. I certainly have no problem with prayer, however, this was totally unacceptable, when the south endzone was completely clear for them to pray there. It was obviously blatant. For any UGA lurkers...you might question this "high charachter" coach you have. :mad:

So basically you expected them to pass on praying in the end zone where their fans were located and instead take a knee right in front of the UT student section just to avoid inconveniencing a few members of the POTS? I can't imagine why they didn't do that.

I don't think that opposing teams know the procedures of the UT band. I could see how you would be disgusted if they start dancing around your logo in the middle of the field, but you were offended by some players praying which resulted in them being in the way of the band. I doubt that it was on purpose and I don't see how something like that would make you lose respect for somebody.

OP was probably in the band and has a complex against football players.

So you have no respect for the traditions of UT? I guess you'd be okay if they kicked Smokey too?

Hey man, Smokey is a dog. They would have gotten a couple of years in jail for that. Hit a person---you should be O.K. Screwed up world we live in. BTW my wife is UGA fan and she is the only one of them I can stand.
