Per Hyams on boosters

[volintears]

He said Sunday on The Sports Source
"There are boosters over there that would rather walk the sidelines of a 6-6 team than sit in the stands of a 12-0 team"
If that's true DW is going to have a hard time fixing that sh** show.

 

[tvolsfan]

That sounds... believable.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Boosters are the reason we're in the mess we're in right now. But you get this hire right and go 12-0, with ticket and apparel sales, you wouldn't have to worry about boosters!

Jimmy Hyams often says dumb things.

 

[DaddyChad]

I would go further than that. Some would rather be winless than be undefeated without their control

 

[DaddyChad]

Jimmy Hyams often says dumb things.

This isn’t one of them.

 

[VFL28]

Last 15 or so years of UT football prove that statement.

 

[VolFan32]

I don't doubt that. Their money helps, but goodness what a stupid way to live your life. To get "recognized" at a football game maybe by 30 people at the game.

 

[bleedorange9995]

What do you expect, they don’t care, they are rich and all they care about is being social with each other, we need boosters who care

 

[Volbrando]

Per VolNation: Hyams is dumb

 

[BigDave]

If that's the case why are they fund the hire of Danny White, as he has proven he wants to win everywhere he's been?

GBO - beat the Bulldogs!

Sounds similar to our political parties these days. Would rather burn it to the ground than give up any control.

About right

Jimmy Hyams often says dumb things.

Why is that dumb? Because it’s true or false?

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Sounds like some nonsensical scapegoating for clicks.

 

[cc623]

I could think of thousand of things that would shock me more than that....Some of these clown supported the huge buyouts that UT ended up paying.

 

[Godfatha]

Which boosters?

 

[lilesrt]

That sounds... believable.

Very much so.

 

[TnVol!]

Jimmy Hyams is just a little too full of himself. He is not a go to guy for information.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Hyams reporting that TN will in fact NOT wear black jerseys vs South Carolina.

Although I think that's true, the saying about stopped clocks comes to mind...anything from ole Jimmah comes with a large grain of salt.

 

[landscapingvol]

There are two to three boosters at UT with that kind of money and the only one that is even remotely interested in football is the Haslams. Unfortunately, they aren't the evil meddlers they are made out to be. Quite frankly, keeping Curry and letting him do his job would have been a much better decision than replacing him with Fulmer.

Did they walk the sidelines at 3-7 , guess they must have been running.
