Why dont fans support this program no matter how bad the times get?

Fair weather??? Bandwagon?? Hell there hasn't been fair weather in like 19 years. Vol Fans can be called a lot of things, but fair weather or a bandwagon fan is not on of those. The bandwagon fans all jumped ship at least 15 years ago.

Why do so many fans have to be fair weather fans and only support a program when they are winning? I think if you are a VFL you will support this team and program no matter how many games they win.


In what world is voicing distaste and disgust at the coaching staff- who are making a ludicrously expensive mockery of all that Volunteer football has stood for for so many years... in what world is speaking out against that... the very thing that is hurting Vol football... NOT supporting the team?

Tennessee fans are extremely loyal. The problem is that we are the fans of one of the most successful college football fans in history and there is simply no good excuse for the crap that we have seen over the last decade plus. We have the stadium, tradition, money to compete year in and out for championships. We know we won't win every game and are ok with this reality, but when we see garbage on the field over and over we know it is essentially a bunch of self centered creeps that make way too much money making decisions behind the scenes by either incompetence or selfishness it pisses us off. As David Keith said "Tennessee football is the most important unimportant thing there is". There is no excuse to be this bad for this long.


This is exactly why vol fans are now seriously questioning, ARE
THE VOLS CURSED?

River Vol, you hit this one over the lights deep into centerfield......you know when you really
hit one and it just jumps out of the park!
God I love that feel:)
 
Is the UT administration “supporting” the program by hiring unqualified coaches and paying them exorbitant obscene amounts of money for continued mediocrity?
 
I still support our coaches and players and if JP says JG is our best QB then to me thats not BS!
 
"Fair" point.

I'm super critical of Jeremy Pruitt. Outright calling him a weasel who is losing games on purpose.

That's not the teams fault. Not even JGs fault ultimately.

Can't root for the VOLS to lose, even if evidence exists that they will lose by a wide margin.

I don't want to see Tennessee get stomped this Saturday. But I think they will. As a result, my "positive " is that I hope that brings Hugh Freeze that much closer to Knoxville.

To many people in our country AND the world see things still in black and white. Choose a "side". Well ...the earth is a globe...
Freeze is not coming here. He is poison to every P5 school and will be a targeted by P5 HC’s and the NCAA because of his transgressions going back to his HS career.
 
WTF are you talking about? UT has the most loyal fanbase in college football. 90k plus still pack the stadium after 12 years of suck, you see people wearing swag all over the world and the most telling sign of how great this fanbase is is that we still care. We still care after the administration has shown they DGAF about championship level football, we still care even though there is no sign of hope for better days, we still care even though we KNOW a POS Gump will still be driving our beloved football program off the cliff next season.

GTF out of here with this "fair weather fan" bull! Few fan bases remain as loyal and caring as ours after over a decade of being fed crap.

Could not agree more.
Miami’s stadium was empty for years because they didn’t win. Yet 20 years of sucking and we’re still here. And all those people saying that their done are FOS. They will all be here bitching with us next year. I’m not sure if Tennessee fans are loyal to a fault or just stupid.

edit: obviously I’m stupid. It’s just hard to believe there are that many people as dumb as me.
 
So you are assuming we would've beat Kentucky, Arkansas, and Auburn?
You start this stupid *ss thread and then question people who are making your point and blowing sunshine?

This is some next level stuff I tell you
 
At this point the 2000 version of Nick Saban would be run out of town on a rail if he lost more than 2 games in year 3. I say the 2000 version because he had yet to win anything. I'm sure the 2007 version was being ripped by Bama fans and being called washed up because they lost to Louisiana's version of Georgia State. He is at Bama, the well wasn't dry and they have their history. Why anybody would want to go to school in Tuscaloosa over Knoxville is a mystery to me, but it seems that the best teams are in the worst places for whatever reason.

Please, in 2000 Saban went 8-4, 5-3 in the SEC. Pruitt is in his third year after going 3-7, with an overall record of 16-19, with horrible losses to the likes of Georga State, BYU, Kentucky, and Arkansas.

The situations couldn't be any more different than they are at right now.
