If it feels sometimes like we're wading through Negative Nancy molasses just to chat about our team...

[Vols1313]

...that's because we are.

Take the week before last as an example.

@Vols1313 said Kentucky would beat us, 65 to 7.
@turdherder11 went for Kentucky by 11. As did @volmanNC .
@CAVPUT thought they'd beat us by 8 points.
@captainsword said the Cats by 6.
@Creek Bottom , @jarhead and @37620VOL said by 4 points.
@Johnnyreb#VFL said they'd take us by a field goal.
@zooguy agreed with that, KY by a FG.
So did @crawdaddyjc .

I am not saying these fellas are all trolls. A few are, but most are just nega-Vols.

Point is, there are a vocal minority of folks on these boards who never see the good in our team because they are too focused on complaining about each and every little blemish.

This is the same crew who dismiss any team we beat as a weak team. We never beat any good teams, because the teams we beat are obviously inferior, because we were able to beat them. Sure, that is circular logic, but most trolls and nega-vols like it that way.

And folks like that are always going to underestimate our lads.

Let's lay it on Mizzou this week, send them back to the bowels of the conference alongside Vandy, Kentucky, and USCe. Well, and Florida lately, lol.

Go Vols!

Happy to be called a troll or negative Nancy no prob, when I place my bets on betting platforms I’m the most negative person you will ever see for the teams that I pick. That’s my system I’m superstitious that way with betting so not gonna stop , thx for the shout out though

Feels like we’ve already covered all the ground there is in this conversation, but I’ll just say that just because someone picks against Tennessee doesn’t mean they are a Nega-Vol. There is a difference in simply saying you think we lose and outright spewing endless negativity.

I think it’s a little unfair to expect everyone to always think we win every game otherwise they are negative. Like, we play Georgia next week who hasn’t lost in 26 straight games. If anyone on this board says they think we lose that game, that makes them a NegaVol? Seems a bit extreme.

Plot twist: sunshine pumpers actually get coaches fired as they're the ones who keep saying "it's our year" and pick 10-2 or 11-1 and when the team barely gets 9-3 it's a "disappointment".

Neither faction affects their employment…reality achieves that feat. Butch didn’t get fired for the 2016 “disappointment”…he was carted off for losing his team and winning only four games the following season. When something isn’t working, we’re all right at the same time.

How did that work out for you, sunshine pumper?

Perhaps you might want to listen to some of the people who describe several of the weakness of this team.

You got to live with the world the way it is, not the way you wished it was. Same goes for this Tenn team.

This is NOT a great team in several key positions!

I will admit, the team is even worse than I thought it was.
