It’s the new attitude that I am seeing everywhere. If I can’t succeed in my first attempt, then I will quit and go elsewhere where it will be easier.

Volunteers don’t run away from a fight. Absolutely don’t bail on the SEC because it would be easier in the ACC. No only no, but no way in Hell!

I was talking to a coworker the other day about similar, but more related to the workforce....instant information, instant gratification, (much) less loyalty, mercenary mentality, etc. It really is an attitude and/or mentality of today, it seems.

I'm definitely a Vol. By birth, a Vol. I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad. And all the bad hasn't just been this last decade or so....sorry to disappoint the younger folks. There were bad times back in the 70s and early 80s. It didn't matter. We were Vols, so we did Vol things. We went to the games because we loved the Vols, the fans, the tailgating, and yes. the pagentry and the pride and the tradition and all it entails.

While I'm typically a purist at heart (don't even get me started on MLB, cross division play, DH, etc.), let them all join. I don't care. It won't change my fandom of the Vols at all. Every Saturday, I will either be there or watch on TV or listen to (meh) Kesling on the radio or innerwebs, cheer for my Vols, hope we win, and enjoy the games and the people representing my hometown team. Corny, I know. I'm old. Get off my lawn.

It’s like golf and tennis. They aren’t needed in the olympics because its the exact same thing they do every weekend.

In a span of 30 minutes we go from zero medals to leading the medal count. Good thing the Chinese swim like anchors.

Chinese probably don't encourage swimming. Creates an escape opportunity.


We only have one gold medal. Do silver and bronze really count?

Like others, can't see the OSU/Michigan thing. Clemson, FSU, and a couple other ACC's makes sense if they are going mega. Will see how it goes.

Soccer and tennis are the most pointless Olympic sports.

Soccer is a great Olympic sport. It’s just that tennis and golf are individual sports that are played against the best competition in the world ever tournament. It’s the same game but instead of money you get a medal,
