Max Gilbert appreciation thread

It’s always great if you win a game by a FG at the end. See Jeff Hall. However, if one bad play, one bad foul, one bad call keeps you from winning a game, you should have been good enough to overcome (1).

I’ve seen people blame a ref on a called foul at the end of a basketball game but, had that call been made in the first period/half, nothing would have been said about it.

Saying all of that, 60% FG percentage isn’t good.

Just to be fair to him there were a whole lot of players that contributed a lot more to losing than winning at last you made a lot of relevant kicks. Thank you fella sorry for the immaturity from different boards.

Yeah people were brutal towards him, but we need a clutch guy. I hope he redeems himself and can thumb his nose at us, but not because we don’t find a better kicker lol

You probably suck at something too. Should we start a post everytime you f up? Should we call your significant other to see how you disappointed them today?

These kids are paid now like professionals so we should get to criticize them when it’s warranted. He had one job and he couldn’t perform in the big moments. He would’ve never kicked again after that Georgia choke job he pulled if i was the coach. He quite possibly costed us the Oklahoma game too and of course misses one against Illinois. He missed like 4 against Kentucky last season fortunately we still won. Yea he had to go and i won’t miss him.

We can, but we shouldn't. They're still young men. WTF is wrong with you? You know when they didn't get paid, they were still criticized too. So we can criticize people for unpaid jobs as well? You act like he doesn't know he messed up, do you think piling on a young man, will improve his life or benefit him. As a society in this Christian nation, how is telling him that he sucks and you're glad he's gone, what part of Christian dogma is that. As I said, can we ask your significant other how you suck in bed? About your hygiene? Let's see how perfect you are.

You don't know Max Gilbert, take your own advice. You don't care about Max Gilbert, and I don't care about you. You see how that works? That's someone's son, brother, friend. Have a little respect. It cost nothing to be nice. Apparently that is a bridge too far for some.

That would be really weird behavior on a Tennessee football forum, whereas discussing a kicker is not.

Grown men piling on a young man that missed a kick is weird behavior too. A game that you all didn't play in. He's not the first person or the last. The behavior is irrational, and to normalize it weird. If that were your son or child, you would be ok with random grown men affecting his mental health, over a kick? Put everything into perspective.
Getting mad at losing a game that you really have no vested interest in, despite bragging rights point to deeper issues that people need to address.

Again, this is a Tennessee football forum on which fans are discussing paid athletes. One could just as easily, and just as stupidly (mind you), say the exact same thing about being happy over winning a game they “really have no vested interest in.”

If this bothers you, I would suggest logging off of the internet.

They are paid like professionals but actually aren't professionals. It's amazing how many people don't know the difference.

Do we personally attack players when we win? That's a false equivalency. That's stupid. Are you comparing celebrating winning vs attacking a young man. As men, we should do better and not normalize grown men personally attacking kids. I wouldn't do it to his kids, and he shouldn't do it to someone else's. It has went a little overboard. We can't normalize crazy behavior. When does it stop? What is crossing the line? I get it, we get disappointed because we lose. The sun should rise tomorrow....hopefully.

You brought up the lack of a vested interest, so what makes being angry so much different than being happy when it all circles back to (as you put it) "bragging rights?"

I don't see how Big Orange Captain opining that Max Gilbert sucked is "personally attacking," "overboard," "crazy behavior" or "crossing the line." It seems pretty innocuous and totally in bounds for discussion on a Tennessee football forum.

The guy sucks but it's not like enmity or vitorol id definitely be nice to him if i ever randomly met him and shake hands say go vols brother. I dont see why not liking a player means I want him to stress out over it, a ton of people hate me and yet im still spinning on this rock. As many people that dislike him theres few or none that would beat him up and I doubt he ever comes across it. So it's all in his head just like why we dont like him.

It can even go in different bounds. JG is one of my least favorite QBs to be a vol in my lifetime yet one of my favorite personalities to be a vol

It's irrational. Again, you're defending it behavior because it doesn't affect you. If it were your family, you would just shrug and go on? It's ok to be elated or disappointed, but your entire life revolves around this? If it does, there are other relationships that are suffering. Just like if your entire life revolves around being a father, you're not being a husband. There's balance. Anyways, we can agree to disagree. I've got to get ready to tackle the challenges of today. I pray today is a great day for us all.
