I'll give it another shot to see if you guys and gals you want to be on the show...

This is still related to UT sports

Example:
I could do without:

-T-shirt throwing at UT bball games
-Tennessee averaging 10th in the SEC in scoring at 18.6 per
-Boob Kesling
-Shuffling everybody and their mother out on the football field for accolades during timeouts
-Poor special teams play

I'll pick the best ones, give you your props on the show and see if this is something we will continue in the future.

Thanks,
Larkin

-The State Farm Women's Report during Men's BBALL games on the radio.

I could do without in Neyland...

Infants..

The Coke/Hotdog kids (vendors) up and down the isles..

People that show up in the second qtr of the game..

The OC, i always have seated behind me that doesn't know players names or jersey #'s but insists he's calling the plays...

Mute fans (no matter the age)...

Its Neyland Stadium, wear ORANGE/WHITE. NY Yankee, Fla Gators, Miami hats, jerseys look kind of out of place...

Things i could do without in college football.....

-BCS. This is so irritating. Yeah we want a clear cut champion, but this?!?! Gimme a break.
-Ego maniacs. Players that see college football as a stepping stone to the NFL.
-ESPN bias. Nuff said.
-People that show up for games, paying 38 bucks a ticket, and then leave at halftime. Stay for the whole game!!
-Fair weather fans. We dont need no bandwaggoners
-The dozens of bowl games out there. Give me the days where teams had to fight to even get to a bowl game. Now you can win a measly 6 games and get in. There are currently more than 20 bowl game. Where are the good ole days where there were the orange, rose, sugar, and cotton? Ok.....maybe a few more but not 20!!!

Underachievement.

10th in the SEC in scoring offense.

Dropped passes.

Blocks in the back.

Fumbled punts.

False starts.

Lack of discipline.

The upper deck of Thompson-Boling arena.

Notre Dame bias, Lou Holtz' voice, UNC basketball, Steve Spurrier in the SEC East, Alabama fans whining about how hard this college football stuff is when you can't pay your players, The "U," Diana Taurasi...

Things I could do without.....

30 minute TV timeouts

The cheerleaders and band going section to section and begging us to cheer when we're losing to teams like Vandy.

The couple in front of me who insisted on bringing their 3 children (all under 5 years old) to some football games. The kids constantly elbowed my knees and shook the shaker in my face on top of holding their ears and looking back at me like I killed their puppy when I clapped or yelled.

The horse trough urinals in the bathrooms..

People who walk slower than a turtle entering or exiting the game.

The kiss cam. Kind of makes you uncomfortable sitting there hoping and praying they don't put you on it because you brought your sister to a game.

Paying $16.00 for 2 bad hotdogs (sorry freak), 2 Nachos and a flat Sprite at the basketball game.

Sitting in the dirty seats at TBA. (Do they ever clean them?)

:mf_surrender:

Annoucers who pronounce it "Clowson" instead of "Clawson"

Monday morning QBs, OC's and Head Coaches

The UnSpecial teams that we've had for years

Tired of reading Climer's friggin articles.

Granny Clampet's commentaries about what coaches should do to straighten out their programs.

USC winning another Championship (Go Longhorns!)

Bama fans gloating over a 9-2 record win they beat teams like MTSU, Vandy and us and all the other "power house" wins they had.

All the Black and Gold hats and T-shirts I'm still having to look at.

Walkmans in Neyland

Seats at Neyland (maybe THAT would get people up)

Notre Dame's TV contract

JP Sports

Lou Holtz

Erik's excuses

99% of the callers on Vol Calls

Ditto on Kesling

The "fumbling into the endzone" rule

Fumbling into the endzone

Penalties on "fair catch" plays

And last, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST: Phil's CLAPPING

What I could do without...hmm, let's see...

O'Charley's closing. Bad service lately or not, that sucks, big time.

The stupid jokes by opposing fans in the bathroom like..."I need someone to hold this...ANY VOLUNTEERS?" and the then stupid redneck chuckles from anypne else there.

Leading the SEC with the MOST turnovers on offense, and not defense.

Florida and Bammer fans.

The parking in Knoxville, especially around the stadium and in Fort Sanders. $35 to park here for a few hours? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The Proffits commercials that make your ears bleed during timeouts.

The 10 mile hike from the bar to my seat. Don't these people realize that I have a buzz to maintain?

Did I mention Florida and Bammer fans?

I also could do without CPF's excuses and passing the buck. You make millions of dollars a year. Grow a set and own up for your mistakes. They don't pay you to make up excuses.

JP sports. I would rather listen to 3 hours of nails scratching a chalkboard as opposed to the 3 morons, er, Dave's.

The hicks that call in on Volcalls and tell everyone who much they love CPF and UT, but yet have probably never set foot on campus, much less in the stadium.

People like Mark Hovanic who tell me I have no right to be embarrassed about losing to Vandy because I never suited up for the Vols.

The 18 million versions of Rocky Top. Sure, I love the song, but do we really need a techno version?

And the last thing I could do without (for now)...is going 5-6 after being ranked #3!

The "Woo" in Rocky Top.

That official with the red hat that makes games take 4 hours.

People who notice I have a radio and asking me "What are they saying?"

Fans yelling "Goooo" when it's 4th and 1 from our own 20.

People that don't understand that it is a serious pain (especially in Neyland) when they leave their seat in the middle of a drive.
