Yep. I can put it down for a day or two... Or even three.

But I don't know how not to be a Tennessee fan.

By Friday I'll have the flag back on the house making plans for Saturday night.

I'm rolling up there with kids and family.

Saturday afternoon I was ready to call in sick to the kids and slide out, but I cant do them like that. They enjoy the whole trip.
Its shame that when I was their age and went up there it was a complete shock if UT lost. It sucks they have yet to experience what I did.

I ll load up, head east and hope.

Pretty good discussion between Westmoreland, White, and Ratliff on the issues with the program right now. Nothing earth shattering but I enjoyed hearing it from a players perspective.....

caught this early after @Big Gucci Sosa linked it. Really good listen from a perspective that can't be matched by those $9.99 guys. Hope they keep it up!

Tim Jordan is the only member of this team I've been able to meet and the only one other than JJ that I KNOW actually cares.

I'll never try to pretend he's as good as Chandler or Gray but he damn sure has never done a single thing to hurt the team. And that includes Saturday. Especially since he's now being used for short gains. Not bad for a kid that wasn't born with the natural talent of the others and most like that would never earn their way to the field.

He's been nothing but a true VFL since the day he arrived. Folks always talking a big game about the kids with stars are great but give me the guy that wants to be here". What a bunch of bulls***.

Kid had his absolute best runs against Alabama, still fighting like crazy for extra yards, long after teammates had mentally left the game.
I think the little cheap shots many here keep taking for no reason, is about one of lowest things I've seen on VN and frankly, one of the few things here that ever embarrassed me.

I have been critical of him to some degree. You have given me a great new perspective. Thank you.

The sun and sky were darkened by the mighty enemy. But lo, this was no bloody, crimson Tide. For outside, in the cold distance, a wild Panther did prowl, and the 4 horsemen were approaching, and the wind began to howl. During those days Ron Swanson will seek 5-7 but will not find it; Rekinhavoc will long for 3-9, but 3-9 will elude him.

There shall be gnashing of teeth and angry shouts of Fahr him amongst the faithful But alas the prophet and leader of men Juann emerges in the form of a dog to lead us out of the wilderness and finally end the Fulmer Curse. He was met with weeping from the weary suffering from so many years of the affliction of bvs and all were healed amongst cheers of Go Damn Vols!

When the going gets tough the local media can either be an Ally or an Enemy.

How they choose to respond is often a function of how they’ve been treated, and what kind of relationship they have with the program.

I certainly believe this program could use all the allies it can get right about now.

Can’t quote cuz thread is locked but here’s the copy/paste.

Atlanta Vol:

My opinion is the following

1. It’s one game. I don’t care if we had lost to a highschool team...it is one game in a long season. Let’s give these guys a chance to right the ship before condemning them after one lousy game. I am a Vol...no matter what the product we put on the field looks like. I will go to games and cheer and pour money into the program until the day I die..that’s what it means to bleed orange.

2. I believe what I saw last week was a team that got blindsided. They thought it was going to be a cakewalk and I think the coaches may have overlooked their opponent as well. I do not think it will happen again. Some of that is coaching and some of that is just kids wanting to win...I think people underestimate the culture that existed before the new guys got here last year. Culture as many will tell you is the hardest thing to change inside an organization and that is exactly what this is.

3. JG has an issue taking what he can do on the practice field to a game. I know for a fact that a lot of his primary targets and reads were totally ignored for some strange reason this past weekend and he had guys wide open. I am in the camp that you give him a half to show he can handle this...if not give one of the other kids a shot just to see what happens in a game time decision. I understand why there is some hesitation there...I have seen the other two in practice and for sure they are not where JG is....IN PRACTICE.

4. Knox media guys should be ashamed of themselves. They are talking about stuff they don’t have a damn clue about purely because they have been shut out of getting information and access with this new staff. They are taking full advantage of this and using it against the coaching staff and ultimately against the program. Circulating rumors all to try and drive revenue and eyeballs from a crappy situation.

5. JP isn’t going anywhere for right now...get it out of your heads. The best thing we can do is get behind this team and staff and support them for the season. It is year 2....and in theory really his year 1. Let him get his guys and lets see where the chips fall...if after another season it is not where it needs to be then we can address it. We would merely set our program back more than it already has been by having knee jerk reaction. Not to mention the fact that no half way decent coach regardless of the money would come here at this point.

I know folks are angry and that includes myself...but trying to burn folks at the stake after one terrible outing against a bad team is not going to do anyone any good.

It’s actually Garland not Middleton. It’s still not a good look. Garland’s on second team.
