You not only look the other way but you defend them and their actions with 100% support. You never turn your back on family.Yep and with all those sentences and Then for Than it's just difficult to place much credence here. IF your BROTHER Or "Favorite Player" does something egregious are you supposed to look the other way? DID HE WATCH THE VID?? If so, how he can defend Banks is an indication of a bigger problem.
It is really simple.
People hate Jeremy Pruitt more than they like/support Tennessee Football.
Yet at the end of the day, the Fans are only spectators of a game for entertainment only. Tennessee football doesn't have a life or death, day to day impact on their lives. People acting like they are somehow so invested in Tennessee Football like its a job, but are the real losers.
There Is absolutely nothing fun about Vol football anymore.
I mean seriously.
It's a game and its supposed to be fun.
There is nothing fun about following Tennessee anymore. Recruiting isn't fun. The games aren't fun. There isn't any Pruitt does that's interesting or fun. Vol nation isn't fun to be on. #VolTwitter isn't fun to read on anymore. It's worse than a job...because I dont even get paid for it.
Even during Butch, I'll admit, it was a little fun to pile on when he said stupid stuff or something crazy happened.
That isn't fun anymore either. I got so angry today when I found out about this whole banks situation blowing up. But then I realized, lol, I'm really not having fun anymore. When my friends talk about football, it's never anything good, it's always them ribbing me about something--been that way for years now.
Nope. Just isn't fun anymore.
Seeing you guys calling for coaches players to be dismissed is laughable. These players and coaches have put in more blood, sweat and tears for the University of Tennessee than you ever will. Many of the so called fans here are pathetic. Jeremy Banks, Jauan Jennings and Bryce Thompson are my favorite players on this football team. They earned my respect because of the cruel intentions they play the game of football with. I do not understand why you guys want choir boys on your football team. I really hope the team unites over this with an us against the world mentality and takes it to Georgia.

You know what is fun? Fishing. Fun, relaxing, and a wonderful distraction on Saturdays.
Seriously. I was actually cleaning up my shop with the sports radio on when I heard the news. So annoying. Just a day ruining sports team. That is all Tennessee is at this point.
I'm not watching this Saturday. I've already made plans with my wife and kids to go hike.
Thank you , I will try to do better and not be frustrated that the team that I have followed from birth (was @ a game in my mother’s womb back in ‘77) to still owning seats in Q34(plus several more ) that have been “in the family” since Dickey’s first year in ‘64 continue to serve up a big ol Chit Po Boy expecting me to eat it all up and ask for seconds. General Neyland , please forgive me for being so unreasonable as to be disappointed in the fact that the product that I see on the field does not seem to be a good return investment for my 3K per year donation PLUS cost of the TWELVE season tickets that I buy every year in Q,R & YY. Man I feel like such a heel!Seeing you guys calling for coaches players to be dismissed is laughable.

How many more threads will there be made of you are not a true vol fan IF.....Let me guess , you are the greatest Tn fan of all time and you have had season tickets since General Neyland and you donated and even had a urinal with your name on it inside of Neyland. Now STHU.Seeing you guys calling for coaches players to be dismissed is laughable.

What do you mean? We are the best team every off season.There Is absolutely nothing fun about Vol football anymore.

Well said Sir!This is a silly take. You can't really compare fans to coaches/players. You just can't. It means more to the players/coaches because for a season they're investing more into the program than any fan could ever think of contributing. But, by the same token, the players are here today and gone tomorrow. Some will be loyal to the university the rest of their life, some will not. Few of the coaches will. When Pruitt is finished here, he'll point his car south on I-75 towards the Alabama line, hire an agent to put his house on the market, and never look back. The fans, though, were here before all of this, and they'll be here long after all of this. They're paying hard-earned dollars to buy an over-priced place to park their butt on 18 inches of metal, and to buy over-priced hot dogs and watered-down fountain drinks, so that scholarships can be provided to the players and salaries can be be paid to the coaches. Many of them grew up in East Tennessee and have spent all their lives here, and a lot of them are alumni of the university. They damn sure have earned the right to have an opinion about the program.
I wish I could not watch. I always feel like I’m done but some how can’t help myself but turn on the game. Hell I even watch the entire thing usually looking for a sign of improvement. I wish I could HONESTLY become a fan of another school and root for them, I feel like I’m the source of negative karma. If I could truly become a fan of Alabama I’m positive they would become the laughing stock of college football. Seems like every team I like in various sports/leagues tend to nose dive. Make me nervous to keep following the preds.Seriously. I was actually cleaning up my shop with the sports radio on when I heard the news. So annoying. Just a day ruining sports team. That is all Tennessee is at this point.

So, you are saying two more classes, after that we'll be a power house? Is that three more years? How will we do next year, when he'll need only one more?The REASON our football program is the flippin cess pool dumpster trash heap that 95% of you on here do not wish to admit to, that Jeremy Pruitt willingly agreed to revive (and he will) is because of the whiney butt country club mentality that most of you and the higher ups at the University of Tennessee have. we finally have an Athletic Director who knows how to win and a hard nosed ole school football coach who knows how to win and teach and coach the game the right way and won't put up with the Country Club culture and you don't like it and you want to run them off. Go take a long flippin walk else where. You want to win, you gonna have to do it the way Alabama never went away from, the way Tennessee used to be, kick the crap out of the opposing team with hard nosed football, Look WIN LOSE OR DRAW, I AM WALL TO WALL ALL VOL!
If you can't see the difference in the players Pruitt has brought in verses the left overs you are blind. He needs 2 more classes like what he is recruiting. He is working his plan and he is gonna build a winner, a monster. Go Coach Pruitt Go Big Orange.
