I think there's a big difference between lack of effort and lack of focus.

The fact is reading some of your BS I'm convinced many of you know nothing at all. Taking cheap shots at kids doing something that most of you only wish you could have done is really rotten. The same can be said for you "experts" who think you know more about a team's problems and how to fix them than do the coaches. Listen morons are you people so stupid that you think coaches whose jobs are at stake aren't working their asees off trying to fix the situation?
Tennessee has had a great run from 1989 through 2004 and this year happens to be their turn for a down year but the sky isn't falling and they will be back again. BTW, for those idiots who were booing Eric Ainge yesterday you ought to have your asses kicked over your friggin head. People like that are nothing but pure gutter trash. Like Coach Cutcliff stated UT had several outstanding recruits from out of state visiting and hearing that crap may very well drive them away from Tennessee, however these gutter trash probably could care less.

tvtt you are the problem on this site. there is no need for name calling everybody has a view some right some wrong, some you just don't know. i personally think the sky is falling. first you have a team with all kinds of talent and a losing record. two ainge looked worse than bad yesterday and deserved to be yanked he was horrible. three this is the worst tennessee team i have seen in 30 years and they are getting worse not better. four fulmer acts like there is nothing wrong, just execution. five all that i have listed spells disaster for next years team, unless our new OC can pull a rabbit out of his hat. .....[snapback]191447[/snapback]

I pretty much figure you should only boo when it's clear who you're booing, -and then only if it's a coaching decision or a ref's call (or pattern of them).
Even if it didn't feel hinky to me booing my team, it's kind've bad strategy- if the point is to make a kid screwing up play better, then getting bashed by 100K + isn't exactly likely to make him play better.
**Especially if the problem is the problem is that they're freaking spastic head-cases whose coaches don't have a clue how to help them like this year.
Which kind've brings me to the "giving it their all" part of the thread. I don't think that's the problem. They're obviously trying desperately to get things right. But with some kinds of kids, trying too hard just makes things worse. What kind of kids? See the astericks above.
