TN #3 on Rivals, Negavols on Suicide Watch!

Really? Haha I'm far from acting like a martyr. But I was definitely suspended from the board twice actually. I had post after post deleted for responding in kind to others and their posts were not. That is a FACT.

Just end the Beef bruh. Go vegetarian! :good!:

GBO
 
you were suspended for a violation of the board rules against name-calling. You were also given every opportunity to correct that before a suspension was imposed. It had zero to do with your views about Dooley. That is a FACT.


Really. And the names like Volqueef, douchebag (like I was just called) and others I can't put on here didn't get deleted flies in the face of your post sir.

So funny how the horrible names I used such as goob was against the rules. But the Dooley lovers calling me Douchebag and Volqueef was ok. Hey PJ check a few posts up... Oh wait that's a name that's ok to use on here. My bad.

those were deleted and infractions/suspensions were given out. It is simply a lie that posts containing unpopular views are deleted. An outright lie
 
Sorry. I hear you called that so much, I thought that was your name. Won't happen again.

That's ok. Those of us who defended UT against the assault by Dooley and his minions are free to be called names. So you're fine. Also I don't care what people call me on here. And you are correct, myself and others calling for DD's ouster were free game to those of you who drank the swill.

Not true. I was called those names for over a year without them being deleted. And I didn't say my unpopular posts were deleted. But my posts responding with such horrible names such as goob were deleted and the Volqueef etc were not for a VERY VERY long time. And I was not the only one. And it was clearly primarily those calling for DD to be booted that got suspensions and posts deleted. That is fact. If you want to deny it fine. But those of us who were on the receiving end of it know better.

if you truly believe that then you aren't paying attention (as nice as I can put it)

Also, no one has ever had a post deleted for calling someone a goob

That's fine. You're the mod so I concede... Haha

Dude, you were being so positive for a few posts, and then you slid back down the hill. You don't have to have a "beef" with everybody all of the time. Relax, let it go, and enjoy this new ride we are all on. What do you say?

I'm very positive. Posting facts don't change things. Some don't understand that and I'm fine with it. But I've been on here long enough to have a very accurate and historical recollection. I've watched this site evolve.

CBJ is doing GREAT so far, but let's not get crazy. Gruden would have put UT on top of recruiting immediately just b/c of his name and TV personna

Which is why CBJ doing what he is doing more impressive. He's not just a name.
 
Haha Negavols are like roaches, they scurry away from the "Light", but when it gets dark, they come out of the wood work! :)

Volbeef is a little different, he's a Day-Walker! :naughty:

I certainly can't think of a season where we had this much recruiting momentum this early. Hopefully, the end of the season keeps it together and all these kids hang on.

We've had it happen but it's been a long time. It's very nice to see.

Show me where I said that the first time. You may have rejoined and changed your name after Dooley was fired, but I stand by my previous posts.

I don't really understand morons on here who feel like there is some sort of battle going on here between fans who want UT to succeed and fans who want them to fail. I assume everyone on here wants success. Why on earth would you follow a team like this through years of awfulness otherwise? The difference is, some of us see failure (and there's been plenty of it to see these past three years) and call it failure and others have to make excuses for every single thing a coach does (as if coaches were some kind of pope who must never be questioned) until we're getting whipped by Vandy. Some of you seem to think being a fan means that you have to engage in blissful ignorance on a daily basis.

It's funny too that so many on here proclaiming victory and holding up Butch Jones as some kind of messiah because he's gotten some good commitments, are the same who were on here after signing day, saying how we can't judge anything until he coaches his first game.

I hope this momentum holds. I hope Butch Jones has tremendous success here. I'm really excited for signing day 2014. If nothing else, I'm hoping we go a whole signing day without a "3 stars is just as good 5 stars" or "What do the recruiting experts know?" thread. It's a dream of mine.

First off, just having a little fun with your past negativity toward Butch. For the record, I joined VN November of last year.... for the first time.

You're not really gonna deny that you questioned Butch and the rest of the staff's ability to recruit are you? You stated on more than one occasion that you liked Butch's hiring based on his record but you didn't like the staff he hired.

As far as finding the post where you said the first time the comments about the Big East Bald Guys on the staff not being able to recruit in the SEC or relate to black players.... I couldn't find it specifically - couldn't figure out how to find posts from earlier than April... but you're not gonna deny that too are you? I didn't make it up. You said it more than once.

I don't question your fandom of the Vols, at all....not my place. As a matter of fact, on more than one occasion I've commented on how I agreed with one of your posts. Our disagreement has been on your unfair criticism of Butch's work around our 2013 recruiting class and your dislike of his staff and your description of them. That's all.:hi:
 
Ranked #3 sure beats ranked #30, 9 months pre NSD.

CJM had arguably the best class ever signed in his first, but it took him 9 years to win the SECC.
 
I don't disagree with your post. I was replying to someone else who said that Gruden wouldn't have had this good of a START in recruiting. I agree that CBJ will be better recruiter at UT over the long run b/c of the reasons you state. My point was simply that a rock star like Gruden would have made an ever bigger splash early on b/c of the name recognition and NFL resume.

When the rock star was the latest rumor I didn't see or hear of of any recruits saying if Gruden is in, I am in. Forget Gruden, he was never IN.
 
At this stage I don't think there are anymore Negavols. Butch has done everything right up to this point. Scratch that, he's exceeded what I was hoping for in a coach thus far. With his history of winning ball games, I'm expecting us to see 9 & 10 win seasons again in a few short years!
I am as hopeful as anyone...and even though I wasn't all that enamored with the hire, the initial first few hours after he was announced, I realized he deserved more of a chance than Dooley does/did.

Because he, at least, has a strong resume. Didn't seem like a splash hire at the time, but I think it was a good one and he has used the assets the program has to recruit effectively, thus far. I'm optimistic and even reasonably patient...but Dooley NEVER had the credentials to be the HC here, and thus he deserved a much shorter leash than someone like CBJ.

There is no reason to be trying to stir shiite up here, seeing so many, like the OP, trying to call out "NegaVols" were proven to be dead wrong.

Winning Big at UT is the following formula: (IMHO)

Scheme
Passion
Athletes (speed and size)
Schedule
Program unity (players respecting coach and each other)
Luck

So let's look at that
Scheme - jury still out
Passion - clearly CBJ is a rock star
Athletes (speed and size) - signing classes look impressive
Schedule - we are still in the SEC, right? Oregon OOC? tough
Program unity (players respecting coach and each other) - from players i hear from, clearly CBJ doing well
Luck - time will tell.

So, for the results perspective, Time will tell, but things are clearly going well before the first "toe meets leather".....

bash me if you wish, and I'm not trying to be negative, but I like the "clearly not getting too high or too low"
