I started a new thread because I hope to get discussion.
There are over 3000 users on VolNation right now and YOU have let Dillon Bates fall behind a high school soccer girl. Surely no more than her team, parents, and some school friends are voting for her.
You come on here, the Recruiting Forum, of the largest VOLS fan base website and ignore a thread where you can vote for Dillon Bates to win the second round of the USA TODAY/AISCS Ultimate Athlete contest by voting, say 50 or 100 times. There are several upsides to winning this for Dillon.
Not the least is how the USA TODAY article will break in the national news and the good will in future recruiting.
And voting? It's easy, I've probably voted AT LEAST 1,000 times over the last 2 days. Ten minutes here, 20 minutes there when I take a break.
It's easy, but OH NO, it seems most 'fans' would rather ignore Dillon's contest and pi$$ and moan about the coaches, who's getting recruited, the W/L record and how you deserve more as a 'fan'.
What kind of a fan are you if you can't/won't support Dillon in this contest? He was one of the first to commit and helped recruit the rest of this legacy class. He's already started giving his all for Tennessee and you won't even do a simple thing for him?
You don't deserve Dillon Bates, or the rest of this legacy class. If I was a recruit and saw that the 'fans' wouldn't even support a fellow recruit I'd seriously reconsider. The VOLS can't be that 'best fan base in CFB' can they?
Or, you could
Vote!
