If you’ve never heard of it, a synonym is “Vols fan”.

This place is an absolute mess and it’s disgusting what the folks in charge have done to this program. I haven’t seen a “company” this poorly managed in my life. The staff from a closed down K Mart could come out of retirement and have more success.

Cant hire a DC now?! Are we serious? I don’t blame anyone who has lost interest. I just stumbled over here from the Stocks thread in the Pub and am just disgusted by what I’ve read here.

That’s what you get for buying into every rumor dreamed up and tossed to VN masses.

Do you have inside information, or is this another uninformed meaningless rant? Do you know the negotiation process that is taking place. There has been no official candidates released from the administration, only pure speculation from BVS contaminated posters.

This is just childish and ignorant. Grow up before you post again.

Your post is a perfect illustration that this is NOT Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm syndrome is when kidnap victims etc bond with their captors as an instinctive means of survival. They identify so closely that they even join their captors in additional crimes. (Patty Hearst as bank robber.)

I’m pretty darn sure that folks like you are not identifying with administrations, past or present.

would a former Kmart employee send out an emotional email not based on known facts?

Fans were told everything is hunky dory,
Some think this idea is insane......
Stay tuned, anything can happen

Tennessee has one of the most passionate and greatest fan bases on earth. Just check out the comments below by Ty Darlington, one of their offensive linemen, when Oklahoma played us at Neyland a few years back, with Baker Mayfield as quarterback. That only happens in a few special places in college sports. To a great fan base, winning is the only acceptable outcome, hopefully done with sportsmanship. This fan base is as strong as ever. Go Vols.

Stockholm Syndrome refers to people who have been taken hostage beginning to sympathize with their captors.
I don't see how that relate to the Vols as no one has been taken hostage.
But maybe OP was thinking of China Syndrome.

We were all taken hostage in the 90’s. Now it’s been abusive for the last 10-15 years while we continue to support the administration by filling the stands, buying merchandise, donating, etc. This is the very definition of Stockholm syndrome.

Buck up little soldier as bad as it is, you ain't seen nuttin' yet!! My guess is we've got an admin at UT that intends to establish UT is no longer concerned about winning football their priority concerning football will be about fairly competing. This translates in the SEC to rejoice if we pull a 6-6 season every now and again. They are going to show all of us who expect championships how the new normal is going to be.

Taking the time to click on the link and make a thread is "stumbling over here"?

I don't disagree we're a mess and yeah people are already drinking the kool-aid a bit with him just like the last 4 guys; but at the same time the dude is going to be HC for at least 4 years barring he wins like 3 games in 3 seasons. I have no delusions that we're returning to any glory anytime soon and since I think we aren't going to win the East anytime soon it's going to end up being over 30 years between SEC Championships for this program if not longer.

Are you one hostage talking to the other hostages?

I have good news for you. None here are hostages. You can walk away at any time. I suggest now is a good time.

I am sure there are better places to play stockbroker.

Only to those who didn’t see the slow bleed beginning the second half of the SECCG 2001. If you held on hope during the Dooley-Jones Era then you like the kool aide room temperature not stirred. Apathy comes and collects in groups, sounds like the next group is up.
