The Atmosphere of Neyland Stadium.

I agree.

Our disagreement begins where I believe that some claming to be Vol "fans" are in fact NOT Vol "fans" at all.

I don't want to repeat this argument, so just check the I'm Sick and Tired thread. It may prove illuminating.

That makes sense. Complaining about a 5-6 season and so many off the field problems that your team has become synonymous with legal troubles really means you've jumped off the bandwagon. We should have been praising Fulmer for almost pulling off that victory against Vanderbilt.

Nothing wrong with being mad about those things. NegaVols are the ones that every post oozes negativity, every post calls Fulmer or our players names, and every post is without anything positive whatsoever.

There are very few "NegaVols" here. But they do lurk in the shadows and sit on their hands rolling their eyes in the lower levels of Neyland.

OS, you can find out who the TRUE Vol fans are when the season starts. I think KPT is a true Vol fans, as well as hat and whoever else is labeled that way.

You don't know the meaning of the word definition.

Actually.....

1.the act of defining or making definite, distinct, or clear. 2.the formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, etc. 3.the condition of being definite, distinct, or clearly outlined. 4.Optics. sharpness of the image formed by an optical system. 5.Radio and Television. the accuracy of sound or picture reproduction.

I also know this one....

Typo.

a mistake in printed matter resulting from mechanical failures of some kind

Damn those keystrokes.

Here's a suggestion, try not to be so hostile with someone that simply disagrees with you. There is no reason to throw out rudeness when someone simply doesn't follow you and your views.

You don't know the meaning of the word definition was more of a joking play on words. I don't care if you disagree with me or if you make typos. I will argue if you try to say I am not a true Vol fan.

For the second time now, I said you didn't fall into the category of people I have those doubts about.

I love the fact people see the problems, but there is a line that some people cross.

Why do we have to test each other's commitment to the VN.. Here's an idea, let's let people have opinions, and enjoy the fact that we have such a great program that has united us and given us enough passion that we care enough to argue with each other about something like the game of football..

In other words. Stop fighting on my thread! HA

"Never said KPT wasnt.

He doesn't fall into my deffinition."

Apparently I misinterpreted that. Otherwise, I would have stopped posting on the subject.

MrOrange:

First off, welcome to the board (sorry I might be a little late in posting, but poker went late. . . .)

Excellent thread-starter. I, too, have thought a lot about possible ways to get the crowd more into the game. At times, Neyland feels more like an NFL atmosphere -- people are there "just to be there:" corporate tickets, grandfathered season tickets, and a lot of students who show up late and leave early. This city and the Vol fans have so much more to offer. Take last year's basketball as an example. I've never seen TBA so alive. It still has a ways to go to rival the Duke Crazies et al, but what a 180 we did in a year.

At this point, with so many fans who need to be prodded, I think it falls on the shoulders of the university and/or the media to start a little rally. Like it or not, we all share the same coach, same team, and same passion for UT football. Let's get behind the kids and let them know on September 2 that we know last year was a fluke, that we still love our Orange Bretheren, and that we WILL NOT continue to lose big games at home.

I'll be yelling right with you, from the "T" through 4th downs, still hoarse on Tuesday. Don't be intimidated by those around you. Don't lose your passion. And, if you need a seat, you can squeeze in with us anyday.

GO VOLS.

KD

Thanks KD. This thread has helped to show me that I'm not alone in thinking what I think about Neyland and the possibilities. And although it may be an uphill climb, I don't think it's a lost cause. Let's all do our part and get the decibels going on Saturday.

Oh one more general note. FIGHT AGAINST THE WAVE IF WE ARE ON OFFENSE FOR &$#@ SAKE!

Anytime, MrOrange. I'm in the camp that believes that fortresses are built one stone at a time. And this one is rock-solid and as orange as it can be. Let's all do our part and, who knows? We just might make a difference.
