some of the people taking that stance spent years and 1000's of dollars at UT and have spent $1000's since they left and can say or do whatever the hell they want to, imo, and need not worry about being judged by those that have done neither.

I spent close to $5k on a trip to watch Tennessee play 3 games this year, and I 1. Still support the current team and 2. Will support the next coach at Tennessee.

for 1 defensive play where everybody watching, including mcrae, saw the lob coming several seconds prior. He just got off balance and barely got in the air. Bad positioning as well. Shoulders needed to be open a little so he could see what was going on

Right, but I was simply saying we showed it, wasn't arguing how much or it's effectiveness.

I feel like if I didn't support the Vols because they didn't hire the 1 coach I wanted then I'm not a true fan.

I've dumped friends before that I tried to support and help over a couple of decades. There comes a time when some get tired enough of the bs to move on. Life happens. Kids happen. Bad stuff happens. Good stuff happens. Basketball becomes insignificant. BP not being hired will be just the straw for some. I know others that have already stopped watching, caring, or paying anymore, and it has nothing to do with anything but boring, losing basketball.
Who cares if you think they are a true fan or not.

To me there's a lot wrong with saying you'll only support Tennessee if Bruce Pearl is hired, that's borderline pathetic IMO and not being a true fan. I get they want to win, but others can win here, he's not the only one.

And you can also make an argument then that he's as close to a sure thing to make an idiotic mistake and get us in trouble? No.

I agree with you it is wrong to say that you would only support the program if Pearl is rehired but it as equally wrong for people to say that will not support the program if Pearl is rehired.

I was and still am a HUGE Pearl supporter and would love for him to be rehired but I am also realistic enough to know that the chances of that happening is pretty low. I will still watch and support the program and the players but CM needs to go for the program to move forward.

You asked my opinion and I gave it.

A fan that'll come and go as a fan based on if it's fun to watch, or only if we're winning is just as good as a bandwagon fan IMO. Go root for Kentucky in basketball and Alabama in football, they're fun to watch.

My question was rhetorical. Not a seeking of your opinion

Where have I once said I don't want to have fun and watch winning basketball?

In fact, I guarantee I have multiple posts within the last couple days saying that very thing.

That's like saying people excited about Butch on the field for year 2 are foolish. Martin had a better year 1 than Butch, he to me overachieved with what he had, I was excited about year 2. Maymon went down and we never seemed to recover, it was disappointing. My stance has been the same for the last 10 months on year 3, no excuses, gotta make the dance.

Winning is fun to me, I don't care if it's Tony Bennett style 52-45 or Michael White style 92-87, winning is fun.

Stokes said he didn't understand the game plan in the second half and so if a player doesn't know what is going on speaks multitudes to what the coach is getting across.

You sure are pushing M white.
Don't think I could support another coach that hadn't sniffed the NCAA yet. Just me though.
