No, sorry.

Just voicing a thought on a message board about the Vols. My family has had season tickets since the 80s.

Just saying I've been contemplating not getting them next year because it would help me enjoy watching the Vols without feeling like I have so much invested. It's getting old investing so much time and money and getting small returns. I will continue to be a huge Big Orange fan of course.

I'm not sure why you felt like you had to respond in such a rude way, when you don't even know who I am or what is going on in my life. Apologies if I offended you in some way.

We had season tickets until Fulmer was fired and then quit getting them. With the exception of this year, I have still attended 2 or 3 games. I have a big screen TV, we get good food, can take restroom breaks without having to disturb people and you don't have to fight that traffic. It's okay and much cheaper.

You're always going to have those that you can't please no matter, even winning with some, but with many it would. You can't lump the whole fan base into one category. I agree though it doesn't matter what he says but ignoring the ones that it would matter to is not the answer either.

Ordinarily I would agree but this fanbase is in a class by itself. Even objective eyes would tell you they latch onto the negative in anything and cry to the heavens about any crumb of misery they can find.

peeing with a bunch of dudes in a trough is a part of the experience...

He also has a knack for crucial typos that completely change the context of a sentence.

The way he is able to leave out or typo an operative word is crazy.

Then he vanishes from the board for a couple of hours or two before he returns to explain himself leaving the handwringers on vq in a panick.

Hubbs already said that Purdue had no interest in him and it sounded pretty one-sided.

Purdue would take Butch Jones in a heartbeat, assuming he was willing to take Purdue money. The lack of interest is 100% financially based.

Would UTAD waived the buyout (or negotiate it down) if that was a sticking point to CBJ's departure? Would Joe DiP make the call since there is effectively no AD at this time? (Hart is in name only imo)

Not without an AD in place. That is asking for a disaster.

Haha, yes.

"I'm hearing that Butch Jones has interest in Purdue and they are moving along quickly in the hiring process and that he is very happy at Tennessee."

Board has a meltdown.

Hubbs reappears 3 hours later:

"Guys, I meant to say 'no interest' in Purdue"

Could it be? We were looking to win the East and all the while we have been building the legend of the next Gene Keady.
 
Not a Butch otter but to play devils advocate:

Wonder how many people were saying Tubberville would never get it done at Auburn around this time in 2003?

Clemson fans wanted Dabo fired after 2010 and then really bad after they were Clemsoned in bowl game after a good 2011.

Turned out pretty well when he hired great assistants and got out of their way.

This is our best hope imo. Chances of us hiring an elite coach are small. If Butch makes the right staff hires and backs off and let's them do their thing, he can still be successful.

I think we could get a really good OC/QB coach but I'm not sold on Butch moving out of the way and just delegating

I actually have OCD and one of my quirks is I try at all costs to avoid public restrooms. So I have my places on campus where I go to pee outside. Haha. Then I of course have my travel size hand sanitizer at hand. And we're good to go.

Peeing on UT's campus... not cool man. Save that ish for the strip and the fort.
