5@10,
I’ve talked to you about Tennessee football till I’m blue in the face. After this week I will refrain from talking about it anymore until changes are made. I will not stand for mediocrity any longer. There’s no reason and I mean NO REASON why Tennessee should not be a consistent top 5 team in the SEC. There’s no reason why the Vols shouldn’t compete for an SEC Championship once every 3 years. What happened on Saturday is totally inexcusable and unacceptable. With the facilities they have, the history of the program and the passion of the fan base, it’s ridiculous to think that this is a bottom half SEC team.
Everybody wants to say, “Oh Dooley inherited a mess,” “It’s a tough place to recruit,” “There are better jobs out there,” “The fans are too demanding.” You know what I say to all that, “HOGWASH!!” It’s time that everyone stop making excuses. It’s time someone with some guts step in there and up the standards of that program. I, as a fan, will not accept 7 or 8 wins as a good season anymore. Gosh 5@10, there’s so many questions that I could ask about this whole situation that I could have a 5@10 in the 5@10 but I’ll stick to this. What can we as fans do to get thru this?
P.S. Someone asked me this week if I would root for Tennessee to lose in order to expedite the process of firing Dooley. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you EVER root for your team to lose, then you’re not a true fan.
