I just don’t understand why people get so upset concerning an opinion that is different than their own, especially when the person involved doesn’t really mean anything to them on a personal level. Now, if I were to come on here and criticize Fulmer, Holloway, or Manning I could understand some strong criticism. Those guys are part of the fabric of Volunteer nation. The last 10 years of UT football have been embarrassing, and we have lost a decade of young fans due to the mistakes that our administration has made. Excuse me for not jumping in line and blindly following the current regime. If it weren’t for the vocal minority Butch or Schiano would be our coach today.

It was more the fact that you were wrong about his noodle arm and got offended when people called you out about it. You and chef are good at playing the victim getting offended when people don't agree with you. Oh the world is against you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that hardship.

I don't come to this part of VN much, well I lurk, but don't post here anyway..but here is my question:

I feel like we have 3 solid RBS maybe even 4. I think we have 2 solid young QBs in shrout and Maurer? ..but I feel like with the ridiculous schedule we play and CJP being a defensive guy, we really need a 5 star, can't miss, elite running back on order to take the step next year (19) and 2020...I think we will have a 7 and 5 type season this year, probably win 8 or even 9 games next year..but to break thru and win the east, to hit that 10 win threshold, we are gonna need an ELITE running back for this pro style offense. Are we even being mentioned in the recruiting of the top 5 backs in the country next year? Who are the can't miss backs for 19 and 20? How do y'all feel about the backs we have?

I gotcha fam. Chandler was a top 5 RB his class. Jordan, Banks, and Coleman look to be solid (not counting London for after this year). We are in on the #1 RB (Crouch) in the country but he might be a LB in Pruitt's system. For '20 recruits not much to say about them currently.

I'm with you. I swear I'm already more confident in Pruitt and the staff now than in any point under Jones. Kind of an unfamiliar calm for me personally. I just don't get fired up over 3 star recruits.

Agreed. I believe Pruitt is making all the right moves thus far. I was on board with the hire from the beginning. I might like some 3 stars, and I might believe some 3 stars aren’t SEC caliber. My point is at the end of the day it shouldn’t offend someone on a personal level if my opinion is different lol. Name calling and attacking a poster related to a kid or coach that has nothing to do with you is silly imo

I’m really not offended at all, just honestly confused as to why you would be so upset that I said that. I can’t wrap my mind around your concern for a kid you’ve never met.

I'm not upset just pointing out yer evaluation was probably not accurate. Accusing someone of being offended for pointing out you were probably not right is a defense mechanism usually employed by someone who was offended or made to feel defensive.

What if a poster knows him? You going to reserve some class specifically in dealing with him/her.

I’m a huge Manning fan. Manning was continually made fun of for his abnormal “duck” balls, and called a noodle arm on several occasions at the end of his career due to his neck injury. I didn’t become personally offended by those comments and attack anyone that said it. I laughed it off, because it’s not a big deal. The dude is super rich and won multiple Super Bowls. The mentally unhealthy thing to do would have been to attack everyone that thought differently.

So, just let me have my opinion and leave it be. Why attack?

Yep. The mob mentality exists on here. You absolutely cannot hold a negative minority opinion. Isn't tolerated lol.

So you’re mocking Maurer because you assumed he’s had a spinal injury? We should’ve given you a pass. Those touchy Special Olympics handlers still get in a huff when you relieve yourself on their athletes?

If you have a negative opinion about a Vol recruit on a Vol message board that turns out to be innacurate you’re gonna catch some flak.

Thicken up that skin and take it like a man, life goes on.

Everyone on here except me has been wrong at some point.

Why post it over 17 times the day he committed if you wanted people to leave it be. You wanted a response. Nobody forced you to repeatedly respond to every positive post with a jab. State yer opinion and leave it be and people will quickly move on. Or go full chef and copy and paste the same useless comment in every 3 star thread. Then repeat it for days like yer bringing something useful to the board.

Ok, why are you personally offended about a guy you may never meet? That’s where we aren’t connecting at all. Do you have some personal connection with the kid? He was all OSU until they chose another guy over him. He’s not entrenched in Vol history, so why do you have such a strong desire to offend his honor? I really don’t understand

Because as of now, he’s a Vol and has done nothing to embarrass the University unlike some fans.
