Was the guy who started this thread even at the game? The traditional biggest game of the year was over with 6 minutes left in the first quarter.

Let me to tell you when the booing took place:
1) kicked directly to Brandon James first two kickoffs. The first was a 50 yarder, the second was taken to the house.
2) On the one yard line you called a passing play with an incompetent QB who had it intercepted. Of course we found out later that Crompton missed the call.
3) personal foul on 3rd and 1, in field goal range= No points on the board.
And after that there was no booing because the game was over. Similar, their won't be anymore home boooing because the season is over and apathy is setting in.

John Parker Wilson was booed and slammed everyday for the last half of the season last year. It really hurt UA's #1 recruiting class. The boos aren't the problem. The truth about our program is the problem. Maybe Nunes will go to UCLA and we can boo him too next year in the season opener.

Thanks for the recap. I'm going to puke now...:sick:

If a kid has such a fragile state of mind that booing hurts his feelings then we are better off without him. Period! I don't boo and don't like it. But this is stupid.

Recruits will start to sway when they think they won't be playing for the same coaches who recruited them. It's pretty fair to assume that Fulmer, Clawson and Chavis wont be around all four years of Nunes's tenure here

There is a lot of validity to that.

nunes isnt coming because of the boos. its because our offense looks like a junk yard, 2 receievers over here collecting dust, 1 nice back over there but he dont have fifth gear, beat up cadillac for a head coach, a nice benz with a blown motor and transmission callin the plays. If we dont turn it around, we might have to get a whole new coaching staff. as it is the only coach i really would like to keep if there is a change is the oline coach, we have been the best team in the country at now allowing sacks for over a year now. maybe id like to keep latrell scott who looks to be a very good recruiter.

Correct....but what recruit is really going to tell THAT to the coaches?

What exactly are we accomplishing by booing? Hurting ourselves it sounds like. I will not boo my team no matter how displeased with things I am.

...I have never seen it do one bit of good for a kid, coach, or program in my life, which includes 51 years of VOL fanhood, coaching, playing, and watching my children compete. Just my opinion but I think it runs counter to what I have believed to be (maybe that's my mistaken belief) the VOLUNTEER Spirit.

I am as concerned as anyone on the board as to the shape of Tennessee football but I just can't see how booing benefits the team, players, program, or school...image as well as functioning levels.

GO VOLS beat auburn tomorrow...I will be cheering, as always, for those fellas wearing the real ORANGE.:clapping:

The people complaining about the booing were obviously not at the game. I traveled across the country and spent 1000's of dollars to watch our pathetic effort against Florida. I have every right to show my displeasure. I love the Vols and even have supported Fulmer throughout the years but that game was the last straw. I will root my heart out for them every game for the rest of the year, cheering and maybe booing and cussing(hopefully not). But, at the end of the year, if there are not major improvements, a change has to be made or you will only see the booing increase. The act is getting old.

Didn't the school officials ask Auburn fans not to boo? Somehow I doubt it's affecting their recruiting. I'm sure the fact we're 1-2 and the coaching staff's future is in queation has nothing to do with it.

This was the first game that I remember booing being such a big issue. With the lack of any significant achievement in a decade, I think fans have shown remarkable restraint. Losing to your biggest rival 4 straight times will do that at any top program in America.

I wonder how many fans would be booing if they had the opportunity to stand on the sidelines next to the players? You have every right and they're screwing up. Just to be able to catch an offensive lineman coming off the field and to lean up into his grill and cut off a long Booooooooooo. Would you do it?

Idiotic morons eh? If his son or his father can't take a fan base that wants to win then who wants him? .

I want to win. I'm just not stupid enough to cut off my nose to spite my face.

To paraphrase a great line from a terrible movie, "If a fox stole your chickens, would you shoot your pig?"

Those who boo the players on the field are hurting the program.

Rationalize it any way you want.... Those who boo are contributing toward getting the team they deserve.

The coaches and players that are getting the doors blown off by junior high teams and our biggest rivals are hurting the program, not the fans.

Well Crompton would swing and hit the ground....Foster couldn't hold on to me, the special teams couldn't catch me, the secondary would be so far off they couldn't hear me........

I doubt you would see a single person do it. It's not as much fun to make someone feel bad when you're in the minority and they're looking at you. At least it isn't for me.

Funniest post of the day.


Winning fixes it all. As far as the boos turning the kid away, if it really did I would say that you probably would want kids with a little bit more of a stiff upper lip.

I think it bears repeating. Which came first, the boos or the poor performance being put on the field week-in and week-out, year-end and year-out. There is a major problem with UT football right now and it is being reported in every major sports media (i.e. Colin Cowherd yesterday morning).

Yet some of you folks only want to focus on the booing.

PAALLEEEEEEASE!!!!

as I said earlier, it's really not a valid chicken or egg argument. There is no debate about this one.

those idiotic morons who were booing at the UAB/Fla games for Josh Nunes's decision not to come to Tennessee. I know travel distance was also mentioned, but as his father stated the booing is what really disturbed his son. You better beleave this booing is going to cost UT dearly with other recruits, but hey these dumb ass rednecks who constantly boo don't see that as an issue. They are either to stupid to see it or just don't give a darn; My guess is both. If these people had gun powder for brains they couldn't blow their nose.
