in 2019, sadly my last game, wife and I witnessed ONLY Tennessee fans behaving in this fashion. It was deplorable. No way im taking my kids to that frat party. Which, really sucks bc I want my girls to witness a TN game while they're young.

Unfortunately when you bring 100,000 people into one area, you are going to have some poor behavior. The closer those people are to teenagers, the more likely.

The arrestee pinned against the wall, in leg and hand shackles was young.

The man openly peeing in the bushes was in 30's, and the vomiter was a grown ass man. The lady in front of us in her fifties couldnt sit up straight, she looked like a top wobbling around.

I've been to every home game for the last 10 years or so and have rarely seen such. Maybe find a different place in the stadium?

If Richardson is in fact as hobbled as they’re saying, we should be able to force a backup in by the second half. Pressure from the edge to collapse the pocket, let Beasley spy, and force him to take hits or throw off that injured back foot. Either option is good for us.

Did we break the backup QB curse against Pitt? Or is that an SEC thing?

this was on the way to the stadium much of this occured. Precedent to my union of ball and chain in 2011, is attended every home game, sans maybe one a year. And most or all bowl games.

Even at Kickoff Game at a Pro Stadium, and we were hammered, people didnt act like that.

Granted, 2019 Florida was a late game, it was hotter the hell, ans people had been boozing all day.

Today is my last workday this week too. Driving up to Nashville tonight from Memphis to visit with family. Then, I’m driving to Gatlinburg Thursday morning to hang a couple days and then driving up to Knox bright and early Saturday morning. I ain’t doing sh*t in the office today.

Unfortunately we are just making this a one day trip this weekend (live in Huntsville). I was just telling my wife that I would have loved to stay in PF a night so I could get some goodies from apple barn and enjoy the mountains some this weekend. Needless to say, I’m jealous!

late 90s my friends and I sat in nosebleeds, had random drunk Gator behind us who yelled ‘you dirty Vols’ or ‘you have dirty Vols’ for the entire game 😂 nobody said a word to him except one fellow Vol said ‘sit your a$$ down, you’re gonna fall’ lol

Nobody cares if you think he sucks. He’s the number 1 selling artist in the country. He’s a big name celebrity. No one is consulting VN’s musical opinions

You know who else has been top selling artist that you probably don't care about. Drake, BTS, Ed Sheeran, Luis Fonsi, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and the list goes on and on.

I mean the Kardashians have one of the most viewed shows and highest count of "followers" on social media, but no one is saying they can act with Meryl Streep are they?

popularity does not equal good

My bad. You said frat party, so I made an incorrect assumption about the ages.
I took my ten year old son to a chiefs game once (advertised as a family activity). Went to concession stand and there was a fiftyish drunk guy behind me dropping f bombs left and right. I gestured to my son and said “do you mind?” He said “I’m sure he’s heard it before”. I told him he actually had not. He stood there looking sheepish. It bothers me that you can’t go anywhere public without people dropping f bombs everywhere.

I have absolutely noticed different types of folks in different areas. Not gonna get into "class" or demographic discussions, but it does appear to affect the game experience. When we first start getting season tickets, we were in areas that were full of some real gems. Still see some dumb stuff...guy that sat next to us last year tended to get louder, more obnoxious, and more confrontational the more he drank. Never got out of hand, but the overpriced Neyland beers were definitely loosening his tongue. Of course the SCjr fans he was mixing it up probably had it coming, but still.

Florida is not a good team. On top of that, they are a terrible match up for us across the board. On top of that, they are walking into their first road game. On top of that, it will be a beautiful day in Neyland with the loudest atmosphere since the Oklahoma game in 2015.

Josh Pate picked us to win and easily cover. And in my head I totally see where he's coming from. But BVS is a real thing and I'm not touching this game with a dime lol.

Probably more appropriate to wait till after Saturday to really get behind this.

That said... Even with a loss, it's still early in the season, and the merit behind his premise is not wrong... There's 4 more big opportunities after this Saturday.

Really glad it's being noticed.
