I never thought there would be a day I was embarrased to wear Tennessee apparel out and about. I never thought I would be embarrased to put a small T on my car.

But I am.

I feel shamefull about it but my team, my only team has brought national scorn upon itself. The MIZZOU game was the final straw. Various articles ridiculing the VOLS for their absolute inability to win a game over the most pedestrian SEC opponent is just shameful.

I will keep watching, hoping against hope that I see something that is encouraging but I will not be strutting my "Tennessee Pride" until there is some thing to be proud of.

If Dooley is retained another year, well, then...I don't know what is going to happen.

Are the darkest hours behind us or will we wander in the darkness for many years???

I don't think anyone knows.

Don't ever be ashamed. This is TN, the best college team to support.

It's times like this you must stick up for the big orange. Fly your flag, wear your gear and watch the games. Be proud to be a Vol. We will be rewarded for our loyalty.

I wear my vols shirts to work on Friday amongst all the Georgia fans that work around me. I also wear my UT hat to my other job on the weekend. No shame. Rock on Big Orange.

Ah, don't worry about it, I stopped wearing my Vol Cap 3 years ago.....I live in Georgia.......hope someday soon I'll wear it again with pride.....nothing to be proud of presently.....It's really hard to root for Vandy but they have become the University in Tennessee....sad

I respect your feelings and comments but that, for me, is going a bit overboard. Many of the people that are calling us an embarrassment support schools that are just now getting acclimated to winning. Forget 'em. Wear the orange boldly and proudly. We'll be back.

I wear by Big Orange every Friday and other days throughout the week up here in Big (little) 10 country where I happen to live. I live in SW Michigan so I'm surrounded by Michigan, Michigan State, and ND fans. I catch a lot of crap because of our horrendous season but I hold my head high and keep cheering on my beloved Vols.

That's just fair weather, Be proud that you support a team with such history and tradition. Everybody goes through slumps.

Wrong. Sad that you don't get it.

This is ridiculous. I am NEVER ashamed of wearing the orange and white in public no matter how bad we are. Tennessee could go 20 years without winning another game and I'd still wear my Tennessee gear proudly. Yes, times are tough right now but I cannot even fathom rooting for another team or being ashamed of supporting the greatest school and team in the world, The University of Tennessee.

I'd fire you before I fired Dooley. You're not a bandwagon fan. You're not a fan at all.

Grow a set!

Granted, these aren't the happiest of times but either you are a vol or you're not a vol! I live in Missouri and my orange flag still flies!
