ohreally Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 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!

coachk98 Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 If Peyton Manning was robbed, tell him to call the police... BUT please stop crying about it!!!!!! Also if you are refering to the heisman---ask Nebraska players if he was the best player... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohreally Posted May 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 CoachK98... 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachk98 Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Sorry I was not posting to you..It was snoopy I was sending the response... I agree 100% with you!!!!(except the picking on them) Sorry for the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest charlemagnelbcking Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 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.

MaryvilleRebels Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 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!

mhs Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 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.

ohreally Posted May 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 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.
