I imagine that is your attempt at an insult?

Also, I find this interesting getting a program like NDSU to come to JC is wild.

At this point, Im not sure why they continue to not do this. I've seen a ton of people, myself included list this as the number one barrier and they just seem content with how they market despite the majority of the fanbase still not knowing who or what Spyre is.

This is going to sound cocky, but I've literally done this in my career...I could easily expand their reach and following on social media that would probably result in a massive increase in members. It could be done with a small budget...maybe in the $5k-$10k range per year (none going to me). I emailed them last year and the response I eventually received on this forum from someone who works for Spyre was "sorry, I never saw your email...send it again." Felt like they didn't really want the input, so I just moved on. I didn't ask for anything and had no intention to. I just wanted to help. They've made some moves to increase visibility on social media, but they don't seem to understand that there's a trust and motivation factor involved in getting people to actually do something. I really don't think it would be hard to reach a lot of Tennessee fans online, quickly explain what they do, establish trust with the audience, and influence them to act.

Draymond should have punched him a few more times......

Thought about that it could be taken that way, after I posted. Just didnt have time to edit.

Wasnt meant that way. Youve told me your past, and Ernie Michael doesnt take any ****, is all. My bad man.

The artist and writer is from E Kentucky, I think Harlan. Really funny, light hearted look at Appalachia.

What’s the backstory?

Finebam got onto Flair for being a bandwagon Michigan fan after being a bandwagon Georgia fan.

 

[EastTNVol423]

Dude.

Not sure how old you are. But, if you're old enough to remember...after LSU beat us in 2001. Really since 2007, again when LSU beat us in SECCG, we have sucked.

I recall that feeling, sitting in Kneelind in '05, again in Atlanta in 07. Then watching that offense 'in space' in 08. Since that time we won double digits, once't. JH did that.

Man, there's been some tough losses. Like sitting in the cold, freezing my ass off watching us lose to Vandy, at home. Win whipping, aluminum like a meat locker.

There was one game that was inexcusable last year, SC. And they had our plays.

This year, Florida was inexcusable. But you saw their defensive talent versus FSU.

I'm old enough to remember us being good every year in the 90's and early 2000's. I don't expect this team to win a natty every other year. We have never been that program. I don't ever expect us to lose to a sub .500 team. That should never be acceptable. If we are turning the page as a program, I think we should hold ourselves higher than comparing to what the previous idiots did. I have watched every second of all of those painful games. I still think Huepel could be the guy and win a lot of games here. That doesn't mean losing to 5-7 UF and not being close against Mizzou is ok. I think its ok to say those are red flags that have to be addressed going forward.

 

[volinbama256]

I think he has a Covid year

If he does, and we keep our soft zone staff, he'll shred us to pieces next year. Won't be pretty.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I’m cool with the Volunteer Club. I was referring to Spyre specifically

They are one and the same.

Spyre is a sports marketing agency with many clients. When NIL became a thing, they created The Volunteer Club as (what has become) UT's primary NIL inlet. So, you could see The Volunteer Club as the crowdsourcing arm to support UT players.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ummmmmm.......

 

[Smokey X]

Well my very strong opinion is that if we move on from Heupel now because he’s just an “8-win coach” we will take three or four more hires before we get another coach who can consistently win us 8 or more games per year.

Relevance by 2030!

You can’t convince me otherwise.

There is so much evidence to support my position in Tennessee’s recent history and at other big name schools with storied histories.

is it too SOON?

Jon Gruden named 'big wildcard' candidate for Indiana football job: report

Jon Gruden was named as a potential "wildcard" candidate to take over the Indiana Hoosiers football job on Sunday. Gruden has not coached since the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.

Season JUST started, how is it already over?

I know, feels like just last week I was on the beach watching us play Virginia.

Thank you sir

 

[Orangeburst]

For my ETSU friends. I think some mentioned him.

they are just pulling wool over our eyes.

 

[BigSteve09]

No idea but it’s sad that Flair is talking about spending so much money on alcohol like it’s some kind of good thing.

It was probably a “cool” thing to brag about back in the day…. He’s old and still hangs out to things that were thought as cool back when he was young. We all do it to some capacity, unfortunately one of his badge of honors is alcohol.

lol come on guys

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Yep. Wear the Vol Club apparel. Have a signed HH print. Have a signed Voltello baseball, Etc., etc. The later two will be passed down to the grandsons.

I always do my due diligence. This was a no-brainer. I am happy to help these guys live better lives as they lay it on the line for our enjoyment and the school. People lay out gobs of money for junk food and sodas daily when a glass of water and a stick of celery would do wonders for their health. That blown money could go to help somebody else and pay it forward. It is a choice to make of others over self, or self over others. If you value Vol sports enough, you will pay it forward with whatever you can afford. Become a part of the solution.

Bump for anyone not yet a member of the Volunteer Club! Read this and join asap. We need everyone on board.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I guess now all I need is some money

Read the post right above yours. Guarantee you can give up something that costs $25 a month. Give it up and give that to the Vol Club to support our athletes.

 

[UpstateVol613]

I think he could work at Duke.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Thank you sir

De nada, amigo. Probably proves the point that they need to do better about sharing who they are.

@WillAtSpyre @Ericvol2096, you guys need to read this, and take this poster up on helping market Spyre to our fanbase asap!

You're spot on. The average UT fan has no clue what Spyre is. The visibility sucks. And in this day and age there's no excuse for that.

In Alabama that's known as the Valid Victorian
