Fanbase is Fed up

[VolFreakJosh]

I truly believe the fanbase has lost their patience.

Ole Miss players taunting the fans and players, faking injuries to slow down our momentum, incompetent officiating, completely ruined a good game.

The fans are tired of being bullied and they finally snapped tonight.

Tired of being repeatedly hosed in big games.

 

[BearCat204]

This is never ok.

 

[UTK]

Yup. Ole Miss was boarder line playing dirty, and the refs were giving us the screw job. So **** it. They got what they deserved. Period.

 

[zaqhhh]

I believe fully that no other fan base has suffered through more than this one.

And that still doesn’t make tonight ok.

I am proud of our on the field performance (-Milton) but we deserve the HEFTY fine we will get.

If you're fed up then don't sabotage your own program by acting like morons. You'd think we knew how to lose by now

 

[LittleCat]

A few fans got mad and the majority were just idiots who probably thought it was funny. Students seemed to be enjoying the chaos like typical stupid college kids always do.

 

[LowKey]

Finally decided whether or not lane should ever come back here.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

I don't give a damn if fed up or not, What these fans did tonight was uncalled for, And if you were one of them, I hope one day you pay dearly!! Fans like these are why this world is in the shape its in!!

Yep. Every break going against us. Them calling back that td with basically no explanation. The ref comes in from 10 yards behind the ball and spots the ball a yard short (and of course to overturn a call means needing irrefutable/dna evidence). Which makes no sense. Why doesn’t the replay official spot the ball exactly where he thinks it belongs? He has a way better chance to get it right than the offical way behind the play in real time. To all the fake injuries. Bizarre. And forget about all that…if we abandon that stupid delayed run with small amd just roll hooker out amd have him either throw or run we probably win. Always tough to be a run fan.

Bullied? Are we that freaking pathetic?

 

[vanillagorilla]

I'm ready to embrace the bad boy image. Everyone hates UT already, may as well give them a reason.

When players and celebrities start popping off about politics, they are praised for using their platform. That's the new rules, and I hope everyone enjoys living by them because tonight Vol fans used their platform, so to speak, to voice their disagreement with a lot of terrible calls.

 

[jonnon111]

Tired of it happening to US. F the refs, hope they have someone screw them over, like they did us.

You watch, they will legislate the injury thing a year too late to help us.

SEC needs to be investigated. Pain and simple.

I can't like this post enough!

 

[BanditVol]

No excuse for those idiots showing their arses.

Get ready to hear about it over the weekend, into the week, and likely all season. All they accomplished was to give UT Football a black eye.

Being bullied? They just bullied 2 teams before tonight.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

The Vols are on the way back, but a lot of our Fanbase sure as hell is not!

 

[Jonboy]

The fact that anyone is trying to justify the actions of our fans is a complete joke. It was totally classless and has no place in college sports. Sad because it legit makes me question if I should ever take my young kids to a game.

Oh and by the way, it wasn’t a first down anyway.

100%. This tribal behavior was years in the making.

Define pay dearly?

 

[rocketskates]

Inexcusable to throw things. But I agree that the tipping point finally happened tonight and you just saw a bunch of people lash out. Especially with all the bad calls.

I don’t recall seeing Megan Rapino throwing golf balls at the White House. Voicing your disagreement is absolutely fine. Throwing **** on the field to the point where our own band has to be evacuated is something entirely different.

Don't agree with the actions but I agree it is a by product of the crap this fan base has been out through. The outside doesn't understand. It's more than just the losses. This school has had the most inept front office in all of athletics, professional or amateur and in any sport, in the world the past 14yrs. They've continually kicked the fans while down and shat on them. So what did they expect? That the fans wouldn't get fed up at some point? They wouldn't show frustration? What's our administration do? They continue to put losing teams out there and ask fans to pay more money and have more patience.

All that said, I like Heupel and Co.. tough loss, had our chances but I think he's a good coach. First good decision the admin has made in awhile with football.
