I think it was more of the booing than losing. then again, if there was no losing, there'd be no booing :blink:

Honestly, I think the fans today were far more pathetic than the team. The whole nation watch as a bunch of orange painted morons boo'd their own team all the way to the locker room.

Actually, I view the "18-22" year olds thing (and ive had discussions with my friends on this before) that these guys are still young (i.e. "just kids") and they're not professionals and are not at the point where they should be treated like them. They will make mistakes because they're still young and you have to deal with that as a fan of this sport. If you want flawless polished football, you watch the pros b/c they are professionals with the skills and esperience for that. But they're still kids (i'm in college)

it's kinda like my friends who are pre-meds. They can't be thrown in as doctor b/c they're not experienced or polished enough; that takes more time and experience than they'll get just in 3-4 yrs school. They'll eventually get there but they're not at that point yet, so they'll still make mistakes from time to time, which is why they arent (and shouldnt be) expected to be perfect professionals at this point (and in this example, they're not thrown out there thinking they should be perfect yet)

Correct me if I'm wrong... but you're not expected to perform open-heart surgeries as a resident, but you are expected to perform basic procedures? I would imagine if you messed those up you wouldn't last long anywhere.

I didn't see anything particularly complicated about our offensive gameplan. I think Clawson had too much faith in Crompton and tried to "keep it simple, stupid" and still is too much for Crompton to make reads.

I just want to know what member of the team you are.

OKAY, OKAY, we KNOW how you feel!! Good Lord!! It's obvious we are at an impasse. We'll just have to agree to disagree. If you don't like the booing, do something about it. Griping on a message board isn't gonna change it.

I am sure that 80% of the nation had changed the channel by then.

Hell, I spent damn near $75 dollars and I didn't even go to the game. I watched it in HD. If I would have went to the game and watched it and spent even more, I would write Mike Hamilton professionally and nicely asking for a refund for poor services rendered.

Don't you know that your role of fan is only to be a mindless zombie?

Fans are supposed to be right there singing as the band plays Rocky Top for every 1st down, botched snap and FG almost made. And the band played on...

i kept watching. I always watch the entire game (vols or titans) even when the team's losing bad...was the way i was brought up, to always stick with your team through both the good and the bad :clapping: , makes it that much better when they win
