Mob Mentality

[greenbacknative]

You do know fan is short for FANATIC?

And you can Google the definition yourself.

Every team is the same.

I went USCe, Kentuckys website after our games.. the drivel was the same almost verbatim. All that was needed is to add Tennessee names and you couldn't tell the difference.

Alright everyone,

Something that I’ve noticed out of Vol Nation (and I love Vol Nation to death) is the mob mentality we have when something goes haywire, not according to plan, or what we deem is unfair. For instance, we gave this team hell after the first two games of the season but they turned it around. Some people were calling for Pruitt to be fired. Now I look on Twitter and see people cussing out Greg Sankey for Jenning’s suspension. In my opinion, none of this outrage culture we have at Vol Nation will attract recruits, it won’t attract good coaches, and it won’t attract popular opinion within the SEC, media outlets or the college football playoff committee once we get to the point to be considered by them. My point being.... everyone RELAX. Stop being outraged by everything. Stop curb stomping the hell out of people if you disagree with something they say about us. Everything we say and do in this mob mentality will be looked at with a magnifying glass by the media and will burn more fuel to the fire in why they would want to hate us more. Just take it easy, have patience, trust our team and our coaches, and enjoy the process of being brought back to the top. This is something I’ve seen we need to improve on as a fan base. I love the passion. I love the energy. We just need to be smart about it now.

I have been saying this for a LONG time. It’s primitive and it’s embarrassing.

The administration, the coaches and the results over the past 15 years have been nothing short of ‘outrageous’. We are all begging for something that will not lead to more ‘outrage.’ Seems like Pruitt and friends may finally be getting us out of this ‘safe space’ we have retreated to over the years.

Another thread in a list of threads telling people how to behave. I wonder when people will finally realize they have no control over other people.
