UT FANS UNITE!!!


Recommended Posts

Here’s a point of view from a football fan with no dog in this SEC fight.

 

Tennessee (and the SEC Conference as a whole) plays a wonderful brand of football. I commend the talented players and loyal supporters of the SEC.

 

I think the "Tennessee Haters" would quit bringing up all the instances of Tennessee’s alleged NCAA violations if the Tennessee fans would quit responding. Ignore all the Tennessee bashing and allegations of wrong-doing. Things will be taken care of only by those people who have the where-with-all to prove or disprove any infractions.

 

There are callers who call in on a daily basis to the Knoxville area radio sports talk shows who hate everything about Tennessee… i.e., Bama Fever, JB, JC, etc. Do you think those folks would keep calling every, single, darn day if everyone would quit responding to their predictable Tennessee-hating comments? I think they call in every day for the sole purpose of hearing what kind and how many responses they will get from the Tennessee fans. I strongly suggest… ignore them and maybe they will go away.

 

Being a fan of another conference, I hate to admit that I enjoy watching Tennessee Football. But, I watch Tennessee football hoping they will lose just so I can hear all the Tennessee fans’ comments on the sports talk radio programs come Monday. "Fire the coach! Fire the Offensive Coordinator! Why can’t them boys play pass defense? What were those linebackers thinking? It was an ESPN conspiracy! Peyton Manning was robbed! What are them coaches teaching them boys over there?"

 

So what, if some people hate Tennessee. They will always hate Tennessee. They will always want bad things to happen to Tennessee. Let the "Tennessee Haters" talk and "Tennessee Fans" quit responding! Let the "Tennessee Haters" pick that scab… just don’t let them see you bleed!

You completely missed my point.

 

I was bringing up some past comments of Tennessee fans.

 

I am not "crying" about anything.

 

Bottom-line in my previous post: TN fans should stop whining and/or stop responding to negative TN comments and maybe everyone would stop picking on them.

 

Are you catching on yet?

UT fans are too stubborn. Let the investigation go on and see what happens. Everyone is all up on ESPN every since the trailer park remark, but UT fans are a little annoying at times and let the Peyton Manning thing go for goodness sakes. UT fans get on everyones nerves.

If UT would shut the heck up and play football and not choke they might be alright! Last year after beating Florida there was a bigger celebration than winning the national championship! Sure beating Florida is a big thing, but it's not the main concern, winning the Sears trophy is! I am not much of a college football fanatic myself, I am a Kentucky basketball fan, yes yes bring your insults, and being a UK fan we realize that its not about the petty wins and losses, only about the big trophy, the banner, and meeting the president! Tennessee can beat us every single year till the end of time, but as long as in the end we get the title of National Champions, it won't matter! UT fans and players need to get past that beating Florida is a big thing, and think more along the lines of winning a national championship, maybe then, once they strive for a higher goal, they will be successful. Kentucky fans every year expect to be the best, believe we are the best, and we expect to be National Champions, every year that we don't win the title is a disappointment. Expecting that much means you have to live up to a lot, therefore the players as a whole strive harder, maybe Tennessee should try it!? They should also try getting rid of the safe defense!

i don't totally disagree with you maryville rebels. but i could have sworn ut had alreday gone to that national championship level. in fact i could have sworn they had won a title since ky's heralded bb team.there may have been a time when we needed advice from kentucky basketball but that time has passed.

Animal,

 

I am so sorry. I apologize to you. I did not realize there was a rule that only high school sports could be talked about on CoachT.com.

 

But, You read it and You responded. Why would you even log in to a thread entitled "UT Fans Unite"?

 

It is quite easy to change the channel if you don't like what you're watching.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
