There are a lot of people who generally cannot afford to take a family to a game in Knoxville, particularly not an SEC game. If someone gifts them tickets, they will go and cheer and make the most of it. I'm not rain on their parade by saying that anyone who shows up is a bad fan. JMO.

Kind of weird there is no MIT sighting lol or Tees friend , who else is missing ?

Tee's friend was here earlier. He was getting lit up by a few posters and probably said screw it.

 

[tnvols72]

Yep. The stadium will be empty. The only fans I see showing up are the ones that are trying to show support to the players. Other than that it will be a miserable experience for anyone there.

Must be fans glutton for punishment.

Agreed defiantly.

I am just so tired of the used car salesman jargon from Lyle

I shook my head over that stuff from day 1. That made me a nega-Vol.

Stupid sayings don't win football games. Yes, every team/coach has them but that's all Butch has. He can't back it up.

I've often said he does a lot of "look over here, and not over there" to try to take the attention off of reality...see back to back 9 win seasons for the 1st time in ______ years.

took his ball and went home ?

 

[HausVol]

My son would go every Saturday. He would most likely be let down but he just loves being in that stadium.

 

[UTVolinExile]

I think maybe the angriest voices may have drunk themselves into oblivion. This is the most quiet I've seen the night shift in a while.

Oh I'm not either. I didn't agree with the whole empty neyland movement. I just think it's going to happen naturally this Saturday if Butch is still the coach. If he's fired I think a lot more will be there.

 

[TenUhSee]

Dan Mullen who almost beat Alabama tonight...

"almost" ?

that only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.


GTFO with that "almost" horsesh*t !

 

[tnvols72]

I wonder when Butch gets fired , if he will take this with him ?

I've wondered what these 18 to 22 year old players think when he does that. Are they like "man did you hear what coach said" or "damn I wish he wouldn't embarrass us like that"

 

[Boca Vol]

You may want to get some nodoz or a 8 ball.

I dont get people being in love with almost moral victories

or they are saying how the heck did we fall for his BS and now look at us

 

[Boca Vol]

I have no idea about where DTOs source is. Want to be clear I'm not specifically raining on his info. I just have my own perspective on how I'm interpreting everything I hear.

That's just it, it's ALL speculation at this point. We want things to be FACT because it feeds our hope.

I would 100% love for Gruden to be our HC. Until I see it happen, I have no belief our AD (not just Currie but the whole dept) will make it happen. That would be a very pleasant surprise if they pulled it off.

 

[HausVol]

Ok night shift believe it or not I have to go to a 0300 schedule meeting be back in a few.

 

[vol für das Leben]

Just heard Butch has been let go.

Have fun. We don't do those on the night shift where I'm at.

Oh yeah.... and where did you hear that at this hour of the morning?

 

[Boca Vol]

I've wondered what these 18 to 22 year old players think when he does that. Are they like "man did you hear what coach said" or "damn I wish he wouldn't embarrass us like that"

Well, over the past 4.5 years we were told If the players love it, what does it matter?

It's funny to see the tune change around some of these things now that it is clear Butch isn't the answer. The stuff people held onto are the same things driving them crazy now.

 

[HausVol]

Meeting got canceled whoo hoo
