Does anyone else get tired of Volnation posters calling Volnation as a whole hypocritical because there are hundreds of posters giving wide and varied opinions?

It's especially frustrating when it's normally intelligent, well-reasoned posters doing it.

"Gee Volnation, only you would give opinion x when only a month ago you were giving opinion y." Come on, folks!

I not only get tired of that but I also get tired of the constant bashing of the entire fan base as delusional by fellow fans.

I understand that coaches want to temper expectations, but it is never a good idea to place limitations on your team.

Dooley kept harping on how we weren't a good football team for two years, but by the time he thought the team was ready to compete in 2012, none of the players had any confidence in themselves.

I like Butch's approach of making sure the team knows that they're doing good, but they can still get better. The USC win is probably paying dividends when he speaks to the team. They have proof that they can beat the big dogs.

The difference is Charlie Strong has been doing this a long time. He knows what he's saying regardless of whether a fan base thinks a coach shouldn't say it. His reality is he knows what he has to work with in his system and if he doesn't feel that his team is physically and mentally not there yet he says it. Meanwhile, fans in Texas may think otherwise because obviously fans know more. Hell, we've got fans on here believing we're going 10-2. Oh wait, that really might happen. Disregard everything I just said, I'm a fan.

I agree. The media also did it recently when they kept going on and on about the petition. So much so that Hart used it as a chance to issue a preemptive strike against petitions in his presser announcing Donnie.

Fans are fanatics. They have a right to their opinion. Just don't cross legal boundaries.

Watched Clinton's men's soccer team beat Anderson County on the road this afternoon. My son played keeper. There's nothing more thrilling than watching your kid work his ass off, leave it all on the field, and come away victorious. He's had a great senior year.

Please excuse a proud dad for showing his pride.
