quote:

As the dozens and dozens of items flew down onto the field — everything from water bottles to a mustard bottle to a yellow golf ball — Tennessee’s reputation as having the worst fan base in college football grew incrementally. As each item crashed to the turf, another piece of empirical evidence was added to a rich history of collective classlessness. As the minutes ticked by and the hailstorm continued, Tennessee fans exhibited a level of fan misbehavior that we haven’t seen in college football this generation. We’ve never seen a recent scene in college football so unsafe that cheerleaders, the dance team and band had to leave their home field for protection, some shielding their heads with placards designed to cheer on the team.


quote:

Tennessee’s last momentous melodrama of fan outrage back in 2017 ended with Tennessee getting karmic punishment — the coaching of Jeremy Pruitt and the stewardship of Phil Fulmer, a duo so incompetent and bumbling that they’ll be the low parallel bars for SEC ineptitude for the next generation. Along with the product on the field Tennessee fans had to endure during Pruitt’s tenure, the NCAA issues and legal bills will continue to haunt the school for much of the next decade. This time, the damage can’t simply come in the drip, drip, drip of bad decisions and rooted in nostalgia instead of logic. This time, Tennessee administrators need to take a long look in the mirror and show that the school isn’t comfortable being the SEC's punchline.

Sports writers need to stop being such pussies and pretending this is the first time this has occurred.

That display by the Tenn faithful was beyond embarrassing for the university and low rent to say the least.

I am sure it will help with recruiting.

Pete Thamel is one of these cats that loves to suggest why other people should be banned.

He doesn't do much - he doesn't build much or achieve much or produce much - he just sits around and watches everyone else and complains.

He's the guy that shot his hand up first to be hall monitor in grade school. He's not the guy that worked in shop and learned how to do a brake job.

That's all there is to Pete Thamel. Be glad he's not your neighbor.

But you have to admit, it is hilarious that it's UT catching all of this publicity.

Little Pete better watch his back, he may get golf balled

If the pussy sportswriters are crying you know you’ve done something pretty cool. I hope we make it a tradition
