Neylands Upper deck gets removed and tickets get considerably cheaper, we basically become Vanderbilt stadium east.

Unfortunately that won't happen
The vast majority will line up like sheep and move
where the big dogs tell them to.
They will follow blindly and speak of the good ole days while being told UT will return to prominence soon just have to go thru rebuilding phase.
Neyland will fill up as usual.
This will continue over and over until fans stand up and stop supporting.

Sorry Charlie....these last 11 years have done me in. They'll just be another SEC bottom feeding team to me. I won't be dictated to and I damn sure am not a sheep.

The stadium will fill up a few times a year-Bama, Florida, UGA, etc. If nothing else, opposing fans will pick up any
and all tix on the secondary market.

It's the cupcake games that are going to be a tough sell and those are where UTAD makes their money.

Thank God I'm not part of that "vast majority" you speak of. What happens in the next few days (maybe today) will determine if I ever spend another dime on anything related to UT. My son graduates this May so that may very well be the last time I ever set foot on the campus. Everyone has to do what they feel is best and right for themselves. If it continues, I just can't physically bring myself to lend an ounce of support to the Haslam sh!t show...

To the administration and caretakers of the University of Tennessee, I hope you are proud for letting that scumbag family run our beloved university into the ground..

You make us Vol sheep look bad.

I'm sorry I have too much fun going to games to stop now. I've got kids growing up on UT football. Maybe there is a lesson they need to learn from this. They seem smart, maybe it won't take much longer. The boy twin went to two games last year Ga and SC. After the GA game he was sad we were going home, he thought we had moved to the hotel for good.

Me too.

He didn't know if we won or lost to Ga. He knew we lost to SC. He didn't like it.

Me too.

Bah bah.

I saw the video. He very well may have been drunk. Resisting arrest? Ehhh maybe.. Assaulting an officer? I sure didn't see it, but you'll be proud to know, for good measure, they broke his arm in the take down.. Some said his father is a lawyer. Should be good..

From what I understand, they removed several people for chanting "Fire Currie" and holding signs saying as much..

Pretty thin skinned little weasel running the show in Knoxville, don't you think?

Then we turn into a fan base that has guts and is more loyal.

Cops love to add resisting arrest and assaulting an officer to their charges...even the slightest bit of movement can be perceived by cops as resistance or assault. Doesn’t mean it happened or that it holds up in court.

Answer: Administrators will be able to hire a football coach.
