She can be a super fan without naming five players, and there are a lot of Vols superfans who can't do it either. Quit acting holier than thou. Not everyone sleeps with Athlons under their pillow.

My wife loves the games and UT. She does not follow recruiting or this board. She is also terrible with names.
She knows Dobbs, Maggitt and Pig/

I see both sides. My Dad loves Tennessee football.... When the season starts. He doesn't miss a game, gets as excited as anyone, and truly enjoys it. I'm sure he could name 5 players, but knows nothing of this board nor does he follow recruiting. But, when it's time for kickoff, he's as invested as anyone. I consider him just as big a fan as me. As for Phyllis though, if you get on radio or TV and run your mouth constantly about being a HUGE fan, you can expect to be called out when someone tests you. She had that coming IMO. I don't dislike her, but when you are as abrasive as she is , you can expect blowback.

Where we differ...I know YOU can name TWENTY players...prolly more...same here. And a majority of this board. And I don't consider us super fans. Know all too well what she's going through, but if you had presented that challenge to me at my wife's bedside in Feb 2014, I would have still delivered. You know what you know. My Mom was a Vols devotee...she knew who Peyton Manning was...prolly not Marcus Nash. Vols NUT...not super fan. You go on shows like that and call people out? You need to know your stuff. :hi:

Darriel and I have had words before. He's an ex-Marine and blubbers about how he's a trained killing machine.

I think the only thing he kills now are consonants.

And watchers of the PF show. I loved it when Larry said he is like listening to Porky Pig talk. He, Lance from Jasper and Jim from Tuscaloosa ALWAYS get muted in my house.

I turn Lance all the way up and still can't figure out what the hell he's saying. I've only understood two words that delta alpha mutters, "Pawl" and "Man". Lol

You aren't a super fan if you think Kanye West plays for your team. She's just a bandwagon roll Tide typical "fan."

Personally, I love watching bammers embarrass themselves and their team on national TV, especially the screeching type that can't name a single player on the team.

As I've said, Phyllis is a lovely lady who loves Bama--and has good reason to do so. Let me share a story that will be written up in my Songs of the South series that explains her Bama love.

One of her four children, a son, has been afflicted with multiple disabilities since birth but the most visible is a neurological condition that gives his right side a serious and constant shake. When he was in high school, of course, the kid was bullied and humiliated daily. So the one thing that brought the boy out of his weekly hell was Alabama football. And his mom wrote a letter to the bama head coach, Gene Stallings, asking for an autographed picture because her "son needs a hero right now". The next week, she gets a call from Stallings office inviting her to bring her son to the UA athletic department. Naturally they go. They meet Coach Stallings, who takes them on a tour, they see the locker room, they meet the players, they watch practice. The kid tells Stallings all about what's going on at school, and the coach gives his some advice after actually LISTENING. The SID takes lots of pictures and the boy goes home with lots of swag. That would be the end of the story with most coaches. Not this one.

The next week, the kid gets a poster of himself, Stallings and the team. Autographed by them. And in his handwritten note accompanying that poster, Stallings wrote:" If its okay with your mom, take this to school and show those kids who your best friends are. I bet they'll leave you alone." And still to this day, and Stallings has to be what? 75 at least. To this day, Stallings still calls, writes. Emails and visits Phyllis's son, who's now in his 30s. As she said when I interviewed her, "Celina, how could I not love Alabama when they gave my son something I couldn't give him myself? Self confidence." (Hopefully this will be more detailed and better written when it comes out in SOS and I'm not on my phone)

So, yeah. Sorry. Just because Phyllis doesn't name player rosters or hasn't the same kinds of knowledge of the game as us doesn't disqualify her from being a fan or loving her school. She's passionate about Alabama, and for good reason. She's never claimed to be anything other than what she is: a woman who loves her team enough to call up a radio show and go off on people who trash the Tide. And God knows, you sure as heck dont have to have any knowledge to do that. My grandmother passed away at 97, and couldnt even name Peyton when he played. He was "that skinny boy who throws the ball."

But, she wore orange every Saturday, some UT scarf or earrings or a jacket--EVERY Saturday i can remember from the mid 70s to the day she died in 2004. She loved her Vols. She stood about four foot nine, was itty bitty--and would browbeat a big man out of the room if he badmouthed Tennessee. And I'm certainly not the only Vol who thinks that way, as is evidenced by this post and the thread that follows it.

And let's keep in mind that nutcases like...oh, say Harvey Updike CAN reel off rosters. So by your standards he's an acceptable fan. Whereas to me, he's a jacked up tree killer and undeserving of any title other than that.

So anyway, that's where I stand. Go Vols.

When we beat Bama, you will crave watching/listening to Finebaum. They have such a hypersensitive base (exhibit A: Harvey Updyke), and I listened quite a bit during our 9 game streak on them.

Yes, I took pleasure in hearing them melt down. And I'm not a bad guy. I don't pull the wings off flys or burn ants with a magnifying glass, but I do get pleasure from Bama meltdowns.

Wonderful story !!! But there is a difference in being a fan and a super fan . Phyllis is a fan of the tide but she isn't a superfan

Phyllis is a typical gentically deficient fan that calls Alabama home. Of course I feel for her story, but she isn't the only person in the world that takes care of debilitated children. If I had the time to call into a show and rant and rave like a fool as much as she does, then I would clearly not be spending enough time with my daughter. Hate on me all you want, but I feel no pity for her. I'm an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran (Proud USAF MEDIC) and now a pediatric nurse. She is a pathetic person to uplift on national tv where young kids and teens are watching.
