Thank you Brian Rice

@briancrice although I don't agree with what happened Saturday night by some of our fans, I do applaud you for standing up for the fans who do it the right way. You took a stand when the national media saw an easy article to write about and bash an entire fanbase again. It wasn't a good look for Tennessee but I applaud you for standing up for those who do it the right way.

For the vast majority of the day, what went on inside Neyland Stadium showcased what most would consider the very BEST of what college football in the South has to offer. The crowd was thunderous -- so much so it played a role in the game, and made many a goosebump rise, even among the announcers.

So it pains me to no end that a day that was 95% wonderful in a great way will, for most people, be remembered only for that sh!**y 5%. Stupid, stupid rednecks.

I don't think the 99.5% of Tennessee fans that weren't involved in Saturday night's embarrassing and unacceptable actions deserve that and I'm willing to stand up for those people while strongly condemning the few that chose to act that way.

Some guys choose to paint all Tennessee fans with one wide brush over the actions of very few. Some guys have taken the opportunity to take shots at Tennessee fans at every opportunity since December 2017.

I shouldn't have said I'd fight somebody that had him on the station, because that's going to happen and I'm going to look like an idiot again. I don't think giving a platform to those that denigrate Tennessee fans serves the people that help pay my salary, but I can ultimately only control 9-12 as long as I'm there.

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for listening.

Forde’s a cold in true sportswriting…gotta starve those out. Dry up his sources and a more than significant audience…it’s the way.
