Guys at work had it on F***baum today, and some Vol fans were calling in predicting us winning 10 games this year. It gets embarrassing. I like to believe, we have more class as a fan base than most fan bases in the SEC.......but calling into the Finebaum show, because we beat USU and are showing improvement, is craziness.
I don't see how anyone can watch Finebaum. He is the ugliest man I have ever seen on television. It's like a real live Mr. Burns. Never mind what he has to say.
I have no idea what the early ratings are on Finebaum, but I really doubt a lot of people from Maine or jersey or Vermont are really checking this network out. Having said that, I agree that Volnation needs to temper our hijinks on his little show. If we beat Oklahoma or UGA or the Gators, then by all means, rants away. But, until we do, and we will soon, it just makes us look a little silly as a group of fans.:blush:He calls this behavior by Vol fans "irrational exuberance". I started a thread on this yesterday. Paul has a vendetta towards UT. He's nothing more then an entertainer, and he uses his show and skewed sample sizes to make generalizations about a fan base that contains a few million people. Problem is, when the entire US watches the show who's to know that UT fans arent just crazy and ignorant if you aren't from the south? What's a person from Maine or New Jersey know about UT football other then what they see and hear on TV? He sets the stage and "we" supply the entertainment.
Some of you really need to think about it. We are only 1 more injury on the OL from being a 5-7 or 4-8 team. Don't be overly optimistic!! Our OL is close to pathetic, that is why we only averaged 2.8 ypc! If we get an injury against Oklahoma ( which is entirely possible) on the OL, we are devastated. Go ahead- I got my shield up against your forthcoming bullets!!
This is a serious question...
How does Finebaum have his own show? And a successful show at that?
I'm not saying this because hes a "closet Alabama/Auburn fan" or because he "secretly hates Tennessee". I just honestly don't get why his show is popular. What little I've heard of the show was unbelievably boring. I've never found it the least bit interesting, his voice puts me to sleep. I don't get it.
