Apparently Bryce told a couple of you Facebook stalker idiots that at this point, all the TN fans are driving him crazy and hurting our chances. Just like we thought might happen. He deleted his FB and created a new one, and the morons STILL stalk him. Guys come on let's employ some basic intelligence. PLEASE STOP TRYING TO TALK TO HIM AND TELL HIM HOW GREAT TN IS BEFORE WE LOSE HIM FOREVER! And I know what your next great idea is. To send him a message apologizing for stalking him. THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA EITHER. Just leave it alone if you want him coming to TN.

ROTFL. That's hilarious.

Please stop. I can't take all this entertainment from you.

Somebody is having Duck soup on March 16th; probably UT or Miami. Which Miami and LSU board do you work?

I have had a good feeling about Brown for a while. I believe UT has already plucked the feathers from the duck and seasoned it.

can someone link BBs facebook page? i just want to see it. i dont know what a facebook wall is.

Even if you linked it, you couldn't see it unless you were listed as a "Friend".

I have included a screenshot of his wall for one reason: so that everyone can take careful note of the comment which he posted yesterday, which reads:

"Bryce: I get a new facebook and ppl doing the same thing. PPL just dont get it."

By "same thing" one could assume that he means those who are inundating him with the posting of messages on his wall, sending him private messages, etc., most likely, hoping that doing so lures him toward a particular decision. To be sure, this is not confined to Tennessee fans, alone, but fans of any school believed to be involved in his on-going recruitment.

It is an unavoidable fact that this information would be inaccessible had Bryce not "befriended" and failed to "un-friend" those who are now doing little more than pestering him, at best, or (as some believe) "stalking" him, at worst. However, this isn't his "fault" as some have asserted, both here and elsewhere.

Imagine being invited into someone's home for a party. As no one has told you not to do so, you begin to write your best wishes to the host on the walls of his home - offering him every best wish for success and happiness. While the host understands that you are well-intended, and may even somewhat appreciate your sentiment in writing the messages, he doesn't want you to continue to do so, and politely asks you to stop.

Should you stop? Yes.

Knowing that the host could forcibly remove you from the house, would you continue to write messages on his wall - believing that if he really wants you to stop, he'd take those extreme measures? Would you see his reticence or "failure" to do so as an implicit endorsement of your actions? No, you wouldn't (or shouldn't).

Simply, neither being invited into the party nor the hosts "failure" to forcibly remove you give credence to you acting in a way that is obviously contrary to your hosts explicitly stated wishes.

I say respect his wishes and leave him alone to make what is arguably the toughest decision of his young life, and one which grows exponentially more difficult as March 16th moves closer. Trust me, I know how starved we all are to get an answer, but it's selfish to place that desire above - or even beside - Bryce's need to have the necessary space which he is requesting in order to make the best decision for himself, and his family.

Maybe he does like the attention a little bit (who wouldn't?), but there's a clearly defined line that he is asking everyone to respect, and he has both a right and a reasonable expectation that they do so.

Just throwing my .02 into the FB debate, for whatever weight it may / may not carry with anyone else.

I've never used facebook, but conceptually, if it's designed such that anyone can post anything 'on your wall,' I doubt any athlete with any celebrity status will ever be able to regulate posts from fans. With celebrity comes some sacrafice and until the Facebook folks stop allowing random posts such as that, it seems like the inevitable outcome. Who even knows if the random posts are Vols fans or someone else?

Also, you can't stir a media pot as Brown has and then be surprised if it is effective in generating attention.

This is VolNation, not facebook (FB stands for football), so I'm not sure how many facebook warnings we need.

funny how people believe everything they see. I can go create account on facebook and call myself Bryce Brown. It's that easy...

I really think the OC decision might play a factor in his decision. Not as much as they're friends, but because Brown wants talent and OC would be a big boost in that department.

Kiffin's face is photoshopped so well onto Swayze's mullet, it makes me do a double take to make sure that it isnt really Kiffin dancing.

Do you really think he's going to listen to some crazy fans on the internet? He's going to do whats best for him.

why doesn't bryce just stop accepting friend requests from random people?

Maybe he just wants to see how many "anonymous" friends he can get. More than likely though he's just a nice guy that doesn't want to offend anyone by refusing their friendship request.

I'm just guessing but I would say after March 16 comes and goes and IF he doesn't pick UT, he will lose a lot of his anonymous UT fans. :p
