OK, why not make it worse.
Again, freaking stupid.
I agree with you. So many people would cut off their nose to spite their face.
If they think recruiting top 15 classes sucks because it is mid-pack in the SEC, realize it could get worse...MUCH worse.
Find another team that has recruited as well as we have who has similar results on the field the past 4-5 years. You won't find many if any. We are in a precarious situation, where things could go down hill quickly if players and recruits feel that the fan base turns irrational. We have a great ambassador in the NFL in Peyton Manning and others, but we have to realize he will be gone soon. We need to show our current and future players that we will always stand behind them so when they leave campus that they sing the praises of Ole Rocky Top, that they proudly announce that they played for the University of Tennessee on game day.
To even believe that this coaching staff or this administration is okay with not winning is a leap of logic that even Volnation should be ashamed to make (and remember this is a message board that has anointed Gruden as our next coach, pronounced Randy Shannon as our DC, predicted blow out wins/losses against every team we have played et al). These people want to win. No they are not currently getting it done, but we cannot cut our players throats because of our anger, we cannot cut either this staff or future staffs legs from under them by being so irrational as to run off every recruit that might still be interested in our troubled program.
I am as confounded and as disappointed in what happened last night as anyone can be. I believe that our coaches want it, our talent on the field last night should have guaranteed a win, but we found a way (again) to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Perhaps that means it is time for a regime change, but let the administration, the boosters and the staff work on that. We need to support our players, the University, and the program because that is the only thing that we really can do to effect positive change.
Just my humble opinion.
