I have 2 season tickets. My sons are rooming in an apartment and are students at UT. I drive up from Alabama and usually sleep on their sofa and one of them (the one that forgot to put in for a student ticket) will usually sit with me. If not, I'll sell the pair and pick up a single.
4 of their high school friends are up for the weekend for LSU. That pushes me into a hotel. It's a night game, and could be cold and rainy. I'm tempted to stay home.
It's not to a conscious effort to protest, but maybe subconscious. This Missouri game tonight was hard to watch, and I watched it all. I just don't know if I want to put myself through another one of these. May just let my sons friends use my tickets and enjoy them and maybe the kids will have a little more fun without old dad on the couch.
I am going to keep my season tickets. Next coach we get might end up sucking like Butch is now. I was optomistic with each hire - Kiffin, Dooley and Butch. The all let us down, but I will feel the same way come season opener with WV.
Emptying Neyland doesn't send a message to anyone. That message has been received. It does let the team down, but at this stage, they understand it too. 0-6 SEC, yup crowds losing excitement. Energy is gone. It can be rekindled with a good hire for 2018.
