What’s the point?

[TVM]

What’s the point? I’m a 57 year old UT fan, raised born and raised in East Tennessee. I come from a long line of die hard UT fans; grandfather, great uncles, father and cousins. About 20 years ago I met an elder gentleman that held UT football tickets and I ask him if he went to the games. He said that he doesn’t follow them anymore. He just kept the tickets for his employees. I always wondered how you could be a fan all your life and just stop. I get it now, on 9/13/2025. There is now difference between Johnny Majors and Josh Heupel and all the others coaches in between. We might as well just kept Vince Dooley. Other SEC teams find a winning coach and they find a freshman quarterback that hand UT decade after decade of losing streaks. The customer is the UT fans and the revolving door coaches are only there for a pay check. Tennessee is full of families that are fans while their children are fans of Alabama, Florida and Georgia. We had Peyton Manning that never beat Florida, while they took a quarterback and beat us all four years. Maybe we should just hire a farmer bailing hay somewhere in Tennessee. Maybe he’ll do a better job because he wants to see TN win. Last year we were 1 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs and had a quarterback that you couldn’t trust to throw more than a screen pass.

You doing okay there Hoss?

 

[I Love Lamp]

Responses to this are going to be great.

I wanted to respond with something but I am so confused right now I honestly don’t even know what to type.

"Last year we were 1 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs"

And here you are complaining. I will never understand the motivation to do that. If you don't enjoy it, do something you do enjoy. No one is forcing you to watch Tennessee football.

@Freak ...WHAT happened to the old "you gotta have 100 posts before you can start a thread, RULE??!!"

Sure would keep them "BOTS" and "Bazturdz" away....

Cannot tell if this is a bad troll job or mental illness, or both

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Your problem sounds more existential than college football, my friend.

 

[Hacksaw]

We might as well just kept Vince Dooley.

Vince Dooley?

Did we lose yesterday?

Yeah, I remember when I had my first beer!

This reminds me of Vol Calls from back in the day.

Y’all go easy here. This dude’s got severe moonshine brain, or figured out to log in here from shady acres memory care.

Let me guess. You came in last in your fantasy football league and the punishment was to create a new account on VN and start the dumbest thread ever.

What do I win?

 

[CAPTAIN--VOL CAVALRY]

@TVM


To me, this is you

Really

 

[Voljayton]

These people that make accounts just to do this have got to have zero life. You really got nothing to do better than this?

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

WOW

...is all I can come up with.

 

[MEDVOL]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere...

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Obviously, things are more like they used to be than they are now.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

So the OP created an account to write this. Not even sure what he is talking about.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Vince Dooley? 9/13/2025? Only 8 playoff teams? So many questions…

Been a fan since 1970 and I swear I don't remember Vince Dooley coaching in Knoxville. I must be old and senile.

Was that a cryptic message? I don't know what he was trying to say.
