I was looking for some HAARP conspiracy videos, talking about why they think HAARP caused the aurora & storms after it. . . weird thing is, I can't really find any, but I found dozens talking about the theory and trying debunk it.

Where are all those people reading about or watching people talk about the actual conspiracy theory? Seems like they've all heard about it, but I can't really find any nutters who are actually saying it's true. . . just debunkers.

Maybe I searched wrong. Way are so many people debunking something that no one was really talking about?

It's suspicious. Almost like a government psy-op trying to kill the theory before it takes root . . . 👀😂

You’re a cowboys fan right?

Nantz and Romo are good. Tirico is good. Aikman would be better on non-cowboys games. Joe buck is meh. Collinsworth is one of the worst. Imo

I wouldn't say the uproar was quite the same. When Fulmer was fired, there was definitely a part of the fanbase that didn't want him fired. However, I don't recall anyone appealing to keep him because he did things "the way the General would have wanted." There also wasn't the same dictation of terms in who his successor should be. People weren't saying the next coach needed to have ties to Phil or to UT, and obviously the gender issue didn't exist (many LV fans think the LV coach has to be a woman). In contrast, Tennessee went "outside the family" in a big way - Kiffin had no UT ties and in every respect was basically the antithesis of Fulmer, and we loved it until the day he left.

Those appealing to keep Fulmer seemed to be doing so out of some kind of personal loyalty to him, or they thought it was unwise to remove him because he had been good for a long time and brought us our first (and only) modern-era title, and they thought he might be able to get his mojo back. The hang-ups LV fans have run much deeper than that. Kellie Harper was a thoroughly mediocre coach at a historically elite program. She didn't win anything here as a coach. Yet a pretty significant part of the LV fanbase thinks it was unfair to fire her, misogyny was involved, it is unfair that the men's basketball program has a different set of expectations, the new coach has to be a woman with ties to Pat, etc. etc. A lot of the grievances they have are political and have nothing to do with hiring the best person for the job.

The reference regarding fulmer was more towards the bloodline..and it intensified after many failed coaching hires..we always reverted back to “we need to hire someone that has UT ties”. After Kiffin left we all said if he had Tennessee ties he wouldn’t have left..when Dooley and Butch came along we said that they didn’t understand the fan base or the fanbases expectations..then Pruitt was hired. we accepted him more than the previous hires because he was from Bama,knew how to recruit the south and had a southern accent so he fit in for a while until he just couldn’t win anymore..I remember it all…maybe not to the extent the LV Vols are experiencing but it’s very very similar.
