Is this a tweet from one of our players laughing?

[cobbwebb0710]

This really pisses me off. I get it he’s young but what have these so called “best coaches in America” been doing that this young man thinks this is funny or remotely ok? I blame these coaches for obviously slacking off discipline wise. Being an immature kid is universal but even the most childish young people know what they can or cannot get away with from certain people. This screams no accountability at all.

I blame everyone on the hill that is
A) receiving a paycheck and is associated with the football team.
B) receiving a scholarship and on the football team.

GBO!!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

You got all that from one simple tweet? Who said he wasn't embarrassed?

Plenty of fans made similar jokes

You’ve got to admit that “suckness” was pretty damn good! I’m definitely using that one from now on.
GBO!!

We're not talking about the same thing. I could care less what responses he got if he was dumb enough to put it out there. I do care that he was dumb enough to put it out there.... but I'm more concerned he felt that to begin with.

I spend my share of time being upset with the fan base. But I'm currently more upset with the team. The fan base didn't lay down and roll over Saturday.

Agreed! While I thought the clip by itself is funny is funny as hell, it is absolutely not appropriate in the context in which it was used. To add fuel to the fire, a player somehow thought it was ok to retweet it? Unacceptable!

Someone on this team needs to kick his azz. If I am a DB who cares, I am blowing him up. That is my assignment. The players who care are going to whip his azz. They will take care of him personally. I give funds to the AD so he can get an education. He does not deserve anything else from this University other than having the PRIVILEGE of wearing the orange and white taken from him. Go back to Mississippi chump.

Only at UT are the fans the embarrassment after losing to an FCS level team, frankly everything that has happened the last decade is the "fans fault". If this were any other school, there wouldn't be any fans. The fans of UT are extremely patient and loyal. It's the players, administration, and coaches, with a few notable exceptions, that have sucked for the past decade.

The level of suckness is at an all time high!
GBO!!

3 months of torture coming. This sucks. So many parties planned. So many beers to be had. Even worse my wife went to LSU and is pumped up for the season. Geez what gives?

 

[LadyinOrange]

Tbf: he doesn’t seem to be referring to the loss as funny. Just that particular tweet, which is objectively funny.

I guess to me it is the principle of it. A guy's team gets embarrassed by a Sunbelt Conference bottom-dweller, but he is so unaffected by the loss that he can be OBJECTIVE about a tweet poking fun at HIS team. That boy had better be glad he isn't MY kid.

Umm child support ends at 18, I have been paying it for years, as do Social Security death benefits.

Google child support after the age of majority if you like.

 

[johnsonbrewer]

You right but im going to be honest if this fan base know half of the crap Jennings gotten away wit..You would kinda see.where im coming from..I know alot what go on I just dont say anything..

I validate your statement by concurring. To be forthright about a subject which is disconcerting, the details of egregious behavior by Mr Jennings would eviscerate a demographic of fans' preconceptions of him; if only they were aware of his sordid actions. Were you privy to the lewd and lascivious shenanigans as I am, you would undoubtedly validate me by concurring as I did you, previously. Although my knowledge of the aforementioned player is immense, my modus operandi is to hold steadfast in keeping it discreet.

Hope this helps, Ob.

That's a lot of $5 words

Y’all need to chill, don’t be so sensitive. I was crushed over this loss as much as anyone else, and I fully support Pruitt, but I shared this on Facebook with a similar “This loss sucks, but I have to admit I laughed” post:

Yeah, but are you a player on the team?

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Look, this fan base is hurting and this kid didn’t help with his “sense of humor” in the matter.
It was a dumb, insensitive thing to put out for a very sensitive fan base to see.
In no way should fans ever attack a player on social media or elsewhere for that matter, some people don’t know when to quit and often times take it too far.
Do the coaches deserve all the backlash they are receiving? Probably not to the degree in which some people are going about it.
With that said, beat GAST and your ass wouldn’t be getting roasted right now!
All I would like to see is someone within the program to show me that they are as upset and hurt over this loss as the majority of the fan base. Someone within the program to show me that they care just as much as the majority of the fan base.
Someone within the program to call it like it is, stop sugar coating everything and apologize to the majority of the fan base for the crap show that we have been fed for the last decade +, admit that it is unacceptable and people are being held accountable, held to higher standards and are working their ass off to give this fan base and former lettermen what they deserve, and that’s a competitive program that goes toe to toe with anyone, won’t back down from anyone and plays their ass off until the final whistle!!
GBO!!

Someone called the house and said the starting lineup has been released for the BYU game. Are any of you aware of it or where it can be found? My husband's friend said the the QB situation is in the air according to lineup. It listed the starting QB as JG or....or..... can anyone confirm?

Not trying to intrude here on your argument, but no it doesn’t. You can pay child support all the way up until they’re 23 if they stay in school.

Depends on what state

 

[tbones0711]

You cant get rid of a players scholarship because he doesn't agree with you...you simply bench him until he leaves

I was under the impression that scholarships were renewed on an annual basis or it once was that way. I don't think you can just throw a player off the team unless he does something rather serious.

 

[allvol123]

Then you're not paying attention.

Nope. I am. A player did this, not him.

I guess to me it is the principle of it. A guy's team gets embarrassed by a Sunbelt Conference bottom-dweller, but he is so unaffected by the loss that he can be OBJECTIVE about a tweet poking fun at HIS team. That boy had better be glad he isn't MY kid.

I’m sure in a few years you’ll find him at the Knox County Prison Farm.

I would make an evaluation of whose in and whose not. It should be clear by this point. I would dismiss all of the outs even if it left me with a 60-man roster.

Pruitt said last year that a number of players could care less about playing elite football. I’m thinking he’s right.

Then why are they still here?

 

[VOLnMiami]

Horse crap it isn’t on the players, he is a grown man.

You obviously didn't see the players walking off the field after they lost the other day huh?...They acted like they could care less.

GBO!!

You can’t have it

 

[Freiwillige]

I am more interested in what the coaches and players will do to fix this mess.

However, the way they have reacted to last Saturday's embarrassment gives me no confidence that they will do anything that fixes it.

 

[wmcovol]

Program has no pride or leadership. Head coach isn’t a leader, none of the players appear to be interested in being leaders and even the NC winning QB on staff is more concerned about finding a comfy chair to sit in during the game.

 

[GoVols15]

When I was in school I remember seeing players out having a good time after losses to bama or Florida. They don't take losses as personally as fans

That right, you must have graduated from Vanderbilt. Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

So was losing to Georgia State.

It ain’t the meme it’s the nonchalant attitude of players on the team about the loss. The meme was just another example of it

I think adults attacking a college kid on Twitter is pathetic

Twitter is pathetic
