Sports are about entertainment and entertaining the fans. How is it entertaining to watch the same teams always win now? As a Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee fan ,etc. Why watch the sport anymore? Done with a sport that just favors Alabama all of the time.

Whether watch the NFL. At least it encourages competitiveness with salary caps.

I think what you mean is “Buck Fama.”

I’d also throw Clemson and Ohio State into that mix.

Hell, I had to resort to cheering for Notre Dame this year!

Growing up I could never understand how someone could prefer the NFL to college. Somewhere along the line my views swapped and I now much prefer the NFL. This past year was the first year I haven’t watched every single Tennessee game. At least the NFL is upfront about being all about money. The NCAA acting like they care by prosecuting lower tier teams and ignoring Bama and Ohio State is too much to stomach anymore.

Kinda like going to vote now a days. I agree. The powers that be have allowed things to get too far out of hand and favor a select group of teams and UT isn't and never has been one of them.

Do you honestly believe this? Is there anything that the fans aren't responsible for?

Next time you are at the stadium and you get a less than fresh hot dog, am I going to get the blame for that? I'm just wondering how far the 'blame fans' arm reaches.

Yes. The NFL is great. Nothing like watching a convicted wife/ child beater get away with shoving an assistant coach on the sideline.

If I didn't believe it I wouldn't have said it. I'm not saying that the fans are 100% the problem with some of the coaches not wanting to come here. I mean when you do go 8-4 in a bad year you have people calling for you to be fired. Some coaches don't want that pressure when you're winning and people want you gone. Fans do create a lot of opposition for a program and they also do create a lot of good for a program and right now we as a fan base are more opposition, i.e. flying a banner over the stadium saying fire Pruitt. Some are living in the 90's still and we are way past that decade. We don't need to settle for a google search coach but we don't to crying lets run him out on a rail for one bad season every now and then.
