He talked about the last thing he saw before he lost his sight was the Sugar Vols. Said the next day, he lost his sight and he became a super fan after that.

Stated that it was apparent that no one cares about the fans, and he was about to the point of not caring as well.

I am not doing his call justice, but it was something else.

I feel a lot like that caller talking about the last thing he saw was the Sugar Vols. Been a Vol fan since childhood, became more of one when I got to college and finally went to an actual game. Will never forget first time in Neyland. Fall is not fall without UT football in my home. Liscense plate is vol slogan even.

When my brother, huge Vol fan, died a few years ago, Tennessee football became even more important to me. It is sadly but honestly my strongest connection to a person very loved and missed. I have all his Vol memorabilia and clothes. Missing him is actually why I signed up here. Two of his 3 girls remember their dad as a Vol fan probably more than anything else because the color orange stood out to them at their young ages.

Continuing that die hard Vol Fan role has been a part of their Dad I can give my neices, but today that seems harder to do. I actually got a little weepy listening to that podcast. They better turn this around eventually or my neices will miss out on so much of what their Dad wanted them to experience. I have been promising them when they get just a bit older, I will take them all to a game. At least now it might be easier to accomplish logistically and financially if the coach and hence team sucks, I guess. But I too am down about all this crap more than I care to admit. Cannot imagine life not being a Tennessee Vol. Don't want to. But no money from me either until things change. Emails sent again, now with what I typed here included. Left out the heartstrings initially.

I said it's great to be a Tenneesee Vol 🏉🏉🏉 those were the days! May they come again. . . .

What is cancerous to VOLNATION is Haslam and Currie, don't be STUPID! If folks want to stop giving to the goons in charge and want a better product you have no control over what they do. THE CANCER IS RUNNNG UT INTO THE GROUND. The Gruden thread is not hurting UT one bit, folks that think that I have a name for you that I won't print. If folks want to contribute to the goons go ahead, bit I know of over 50 right now personally that say they won't give another DIME until they are gone. And I am only one person.

I understand where you are coming from on this. He is a good coach and would bring a cocky edge to the program.

I just can't get past the crap he pulled while here the first time and how he left. He may get us more immediate success on the field, but the last thing we need is NCAA probation or more embarrassment if he starts wrecking cars with drunk Coeds again.

We can't tarnish the stand we all took Sunday against moral issues and underhanded acts by picking up a snake that has already bit us once. Don't forget his exit was nation headlines with mattresses burning and riots. We would take another media beating if we trotted his butt back in here.

Make Good Choices,

Currie is the active AD. Bill is head of the BOT. It’s gonna take more than a few days or even weeks, to evoke change.



Pressure needs to be constant

No one can remain constant at extreme pressure.... this will pass in a few weeks or months and that is what Haslam and Currie are counting on

Either it happens soon or we are sunk for several years

Honestly dude, you probably know that normally I laugh at being called a deek, but I actually was being one yesterday and for no other reason than not wanting to encourage more stupid, I'm trying to be good today. :)


If Gruden was announced as HC Friday, most of this circus is....poof. Gone.
