I saw a lot of posts on twitter today about Justin Martin blocking fans after they called him out on his 'remember where ya'll were' type of tweet. Before that Azzani and Debord have blocked fans for criticizing the offense and passing game.
I understand blocking abusers but blocking fans for criticizing ? May be in Martin's case we can make argument that he is a kid but what is Azzani and DeBord's excuse ?
Do they realize that it is because of fans that hey have jobs and make tons of money ? It is the fans that have filled the stadium despite having horrible years over and over. They have cheered on for VOLS even in 5-7 season.
These coaches want our cheers, want our support, want us to fill the stadium, be so loud that OU lineman calls it best he has even seen ... but when they play bad they don't want criticism ? Blocking TN fans on social media is unacceptable.
(barring abusers who use profanity or take cheap shots)

They use social media to recruit and don't want dumba$$ posts from fools who have no clue about football making dumb posts that could hurt recruiting.

Bull****. They should block whoever they want. Furthermore if you think about tweeting a coach your thoughts you should jump off a bridge.

The problem with social media is that everyone thinks they're important for some reason. Coaches and players don't owe it to people to listen to their b****ing.

OP sounds butthurt

Maybe they have more to worry about for the next 4 weeks than our hand wringing armchair quarterbacking shots from the grassy knoll sniping at them? Just maybe...?

If there was someone telling you every day how to do your job better, even though he had never actually done it, wouldn't you block that person too?

Don't act like a complete buffoon and you won't get blocked. Pretty simple

Why in the hell would they want to hear nothing but negative remarks from a delusional fanbase such as ours on Twitter? Here we are 3-0 this season and already our fans are getting on the coaches' nerves and my nerves. It's not the team that's embarrassing, it's all of us! Enough is enough already.

Funny how people think negative posts and tweets hurt recruiting more than putting a crappy product on the field
