PSA: Support Spyre and The Volunteer Club
- Thread starter EdEcEko77
- Start date
I think we are at a really interesting time in UT history. I think it is drastically important to donate to these companies. Our offense is sustaining us right now and giving us massive momentum. The problem is two things imo:
1. Defenses will eventually figure out how to defend it. This isn’t to say it is “gimmicky” but rather we are capitalizing on system right now. Eventually, we need to capitalize on system AND elite talent as teams get acclimated.
2. Other teams are going to mimic concepts in our offense. We won’t be the only team that runs it anymore. This is already starting to happen. So, players will be able to go to A&M, Miami, etc. to run similar concepts AND get paid.
We need to be able to pay elite recruits/portal transfers. This is the best way to sustain long-term success as other teams adjust to the revolution our offense.

On point #2 it might not be that easy for other teams to just copy & paste this veer and shoot system. I was reading some Baylor fan discussion and apparently several of Art Briles coaching tree has tried to implement it across CFB and failed. Heupel is not a member of the tree, but is the first coach to successfully implement it so far. With several tweaks apparently, I don’t know much about Briles original Veer and shoot and how he did it with RG3

Also, spread the news to all of the Volunteer fans in your life - friends, family, group chats, whatever. Every little bit helps. Beyond that, our fanbase is so supportive and in such a position that we could be the golden standard of how to do it RIGHT. Not just the billionaire boosters, but an entire fully committed, fully involved fanbase powering a juggernaut.
Ole Miss has been running it very well and Kiffin ran it well at FAU prior. Arkansas also has done well with this system. Briles was an offensive genius but is now Voldemort (he who shall not be named) because of the rape scandal. But many of his assistants have had great success. Especially his son and son in law. And Briles had great success with multiple QBs

There's the $5 dollar a month option.
If every fan did that, we'd be rocking and rolling.
Pardon me, but if you can't afford $5 a month to support a passion... then your attention should probably pull away from sports and whatever else so that you can focus on more financial stability.
Being poor doesn't make you inherently a bad person... but it absolutely sucks.
And not having money can make you do desperate things.
Have a passion for life as well for the Vols.

This is a dumb opinion. People get to live their life how they deem fit. People can not have money and still like sports. Money won't change where you end up brother. Asking folks for money isn't working imo. We have nico. So spyre has done that and nothing since. Where are these 5 stars. We have had nothing since bama win. I hope it works for yall and if it does I'll still enjoy my season tickets even more.

Ok don't tell less fortunate that they should focus on making more money than enjoying in their off time sports. People who haven't experienced troubling times can suck it.
