There's just no room for error or mediocrity anymore. Half our class couldn't see the field for the likes of Bama, LSU, FL, GA etc the next three years. This is why people get mad. Excuses are excuses. Go to Knoxville and look how amazing our new facilities are. Ask around and just see for yourself just how many VOL fans are willing to give so much, but they won't right now because UT's product stinks. People are deciding between UT football and going out and eating, and people aren't getting skinner. Sixty bucks is a lot of money for so many people these days. It's a real blessing to be able to go to UT games, but people aren't going to spend 100s of dollars to see Bama beat us by 30. It doesn't make them any less VFL but money is tight. You can't keep asking this fan base to bend and give it just one more year when we have been giving it six years now without a descent product. People have lost hope in our administrators like Dave Hart who refuse to bend to the wants of so many donors and spend the millions for a big, proven staff. Half the people haven't even heard of our DC/OC before. Jay Graham is probably the most known coach we have at the moment to our normal fans who don't spend hours on Volnation finding out details about our staff. You can't keep asking for more and more without giving something back. UT is heading toward a stadium filled of 65,000 fans instead of 100,000 fans if they keep showing up and not being competitive for four quarters. The normal Joe who isn't a crazy VFL like all of us on here aren't going to spend their time watching UT get beat in the fourth quarter every game because they have no depth etc. You may at first say that aren't true VFL, but it's the average Joe that keeps UT from being millions more in debt. So, I speak for the average Joe. I say give us something worth watching. Give us something that we can hang our heads high about. We aren't asking for 10 wins next year, but we are asking to be competitive. We are asking to quit throwing the excuses out for every coach his first two years. Ole Miss, Vandy, and A&M have won so much more then us with so much less. We ask that you understand that UT has the 4th biggest stadium, 3rd some say still debate between us and OSU, in college football, and some of the nicest facilities man can make. We say there is no tomorrow. We say that we can't just keep saying there's always next year, as next year isn't a given. We say let's fight as one and drop the BS excuses as to why UT needs another three years to win. We say the time to win is NOW! We say let's rise to the top and not be perceived as losers and show some heart and give it all for Tennessee. We say lets rise to the top and unite as one and put a product on the field that isn't a dollar short or a week late.
