“Last week, there was a hashtag that was making the rounds on social media … #EmptyNeyland,” McElroy said. “They (Tennessee’s players) go out there on the field wearing orange, wearing white, trying to bring you pride every single week.

“And to abandon them in a moment of need is flat out embarrassing. Anyone associated with the #EmptyNeyland trend … you failed, by the way, because 95,000 plus showed up,” McElroy continued. “So congrats, and a standing ovation to those that were there to support their team. But for those associated with the ‘Empty Neyland,’ come at me, because you are a disgrace to your fan base, and you are a disgrace to your team.”

It's funny how much more likable Greg McElroy is when he isn't playing football for your program.

Honestly I’d rather stay home than watch my lame duck coach struggle with Southern Miss.

At least when our student section doesn't fill out until after the first quarter it's because we have so many Asians and Indians at our school who have no interest in football. Price of being a top 10 Public School. Tennessee fans are just pissed off Hillbillies.

Screw that. Tenn fans are PAYING to see a product. That product is garbage.

I have driven GNC trucks since I was 18. If they start making trucks that I no longer like using, then I stop buying them. Simple as that.

I completely disagree. In this day and age, the best way to get an AD, boosters, BOD, etc to make a move is if you go at their pockets. That starts with game attendance. If an AD isn't willing to listen to the fans, then the fans have to show him something.

Greg is just being a former player, and I understand that side of it, but the players will be fine. They still get to play division 1 football and go to college for free.

haha...there are quite a few Bama players that I like now that they are gone...he is one of them. People complain about him but I don't get it...I think he's world class...so is Marcus Spears IMO

Was #EmptyNeyland a student movement?

Half students, half Vol Twitter. Greg is probably upset that people on twitter have that kind of pull vs the old media

Not going to games is one of the only way non big money boosters can voice their opinion.

I doubt the AD is reading many emails.

The only disgrace is how the University of Tennessee has allowed this festering mess of incompetence to go on for a decade. Tennessee fans are getting ZERO in return on their investment in the program. Only thing we can count on is the email notifying us that our annual donation is due.

Oh, I don't know about that. I think most posters here...at least the ones that have two brain cells to rub together...would think that an SECCG MVP is pretty damn likable.

Fans are under no obligation to attend a game. Teams aren't entitled to a full stadium.

McElroy is complete waste. How else can the fanbase speak out on the state of their program? They don't have the same voice as the large donors. This is their only way to speak and as a collective be heard. Greg just wants you UT fans to keep blindly throwing your money and support for a crap product.

You managed to be racist towards both Asians and Indians and bigoted against lower class whites (the main population of Gainesville). That's quite a feat. Congrats, I guess.
