It's not about being a fair-weather fan.
We're not just facing bad weather. We're facing an unbelievable monsoon that hasn't stopped for five years. And there are earthquakes, too, and those things from War of the Worlds are zapping everything, and meteors are crashing into the surface without delay. This is the worst stretch of Tennessee football ever. Think about that.
These are the times that try men's souls. (I wanted to make my closing line suitably dramatic).
