Oy...these kinds of posts are what I'm talking about.

No, booing does not equate to a passionate fan. It equates to a fan that wants to vent his frustration. Period. Again, you guys are coming up with absolutely ridiculous rationalizations. No, booing doesn't make you "passionate". No, booing doesn't mean you're helping the team in any way. All it means is that you were frustrated and you're venting to make yourself feel better.

Again, I understand that many of you are going to boo to vent. But for the love of God, please stop with all of this ridiculous rationalizations of it as though there is some grand or noble ulterior motive to it. :no:

When the team starts playing badly, people would rather vent / boo to make themselves feel better about spending hundreds to see a loss than to practice any kind of discipline, so oh well. That's life, and that's how it's going to be at pretty much any SEC school.

It is interesting to note that so many of you think CPF is a general idiot, yet are gleeful when an idiot agrees with you. Wouldn't you prefer that he not be on your side?

Best post of this long thread.

Again, I won't be as tactful as Airgibson in addressing this issue. To me, if you are sitting in the stadium and boo your own team, you are a loser. Period. You are the same type of low-life redneck that goes to the HS football games on Friday night and screams at the ref the entire game.

Even if some of them "deserve" it, certainly not all of them do. As AirGibson pointed out very nicely, booing is a selfish act that only helps you.

So just understand this, losers. You boo, you're just hurting the team. So go ahead, knock yourself out.

You two have been two birds of a feather in this thread. No wonder you think that. Get over yourself.

Uh, maybe this has been covered, but if a Vol player drops a pass that should have been easily caught, and 30,000 Vol fans stand up and applaud, how would this applause be interpreted by the UT players?

See my post above. I don't think it would help anything either. The two posters in question here obviously have the mentality of soccer moms and dads that have 5 year old children playing in a rec league.

It's one thing to say, "THANG, he should've caught that!!!!!" vs joining a multitude of rednecks in booing. You think he doesn't know he made a bad play?

You freakin' inbreds amaze me with your logic. Same kind of logic is used when deciding how far removed a cousin has to be before marriage can take place.

Why don't you boo-bird sget over yourselves? Not a one person that was booing has even half the talent of Crompton (and that's not a whole lot) or any other player out there.

I don't have to have the talent to watch the game and realize we suck. If it takes a rocket scientist to do that, then most people who were at the game have the PhD.

That argument is retarded. If we can't criticize because we don't have the talent, then we shouldn't be able to effectively praise without the talent. Therefore, being a fan is completely pointless.

The three rules of arguments

1) When the facts are on your side, argue the facts.
2) When the facts aren't on your side, argue ethics
3) When neither the facts, nor ethics are on your side, resort to name calling.

Seriously man, calling people inbred and redneck just makes you look like a complete and utterly idiotic jackass. I think I speak for about 90% of us when I say that.

You knew we "sucked" before you drug your @ss to the game. Why go there, knowing that we are struggling, and act like a moron when we start playing LIKE YOU KNEW WE WOULD???


Because you have no self control. Because it makes you feel good. To hell with the team, it's all about you.

I can assure you that you would have had no problem taking on 5150. Even if you couldn't' overpower him, you would have had absolutely no problem outsmarting him.

Wow. I'm impressed. As proud as you are about booing, you'd think you never accomplished anything.

Get a job. It will build your self esteem.

I'd bet you were in "Fulmer Land" before the SEC Champ game not so long ago.

Since you know NOTHING about where I have been, let me let you in the club. I have been on the fence with Fulmer since 05. Never been completely over one side or the other and one time or another. Now I am over on one side and if it's not clear to you we are nothing more than an average football team and have been for a while then you haven't watched UT football very long.

The way he continually refers to us as hillbillies and rednecks makes me wonder...

Maybe I should be more specific......

Its not really rednecks or hillbillies, it's the CLASSLESS Inbred rednecks or hillbillies that are booing. They are the "throw their garbage on the side of the hwy" type.
