8th Maxim List of Faulty Logic

Great idea.

Done.

 

It's also now the first article on the main page (two have already liked it on FB....to figure).

Kudos, Un.

 

Done.

 

Haha, this one is a beauty.

 

I used to get this a good bit anytime I'd post something critical of tPOS. Usually it was tied to the fact that I live in Alabama. I even had one idiot go on to say I also didn't know anything about the state because my location was tagged "East Alabama". So in his mind I was a closet bammer troll because I lived in bammer, but at the same time, I obviously knew nothing about the state because I said I was from East Alabama. I honestly didn't know how to respond to such idiotic logic.

 

Two likes? I'm guessing vollygirl and spartacus?

Thanks, Tenny, but there have been some really great contributions. I added a bunch of yours, other than a couple I thought were already covered or more observations of stupidity (like men waving pompons or the "woo"), than faulty logic.

 

Ahh, yes, the Manchurian Candidate fan logic. I can't believe I haven't thought of this, yet. Added.

 

Found some more gold.

Lot of mouth-breathing going on here.

 

The only thing one is a real fan of if he/she stayed to the end of that drubbing is masochism.

 

So stupid. Expecting a student athlete that is on scholarship to compete for the entire game is different than people leaving after paying to watch a shitty performance

 

Oh how I miss PimpVol.

Nothing like someone threatening coming to your house and killing your family...........

 

I'm confused by the market logic. So I should be more of a fan when they are laid low, but dump em at their peek?

 

The next time the market crashes, sell all of your worldly possessions and invest!

 

I do feel like more of a fan after our last beating. But I'm curious, should I root against us when we play Vandy? I mean, I want to keep us at our lowest, so I can buy more "fandom" right?

I mean, I'd be dumb to invest fandom when the price is rising, like, after a win.

 

Exactly,

On a side note, every time I see a post by you, I think of.........

 

If we were real fans, we'd refuse to leave the stadium, even after the game is over. I'm talking, live there from the opening game of the season until the final game of the season. And maybe even live there during the offseason too.

There's nothing security could do against 100,000 die hard fans who love their Vols so much that they'll stay and cheer on the Big Orange round the freaking clock. They'd have to call in the national guard. I bet that would get Adoree Jackson and a few other top recruits' attention.

 

Obviously, many of you are really just closet bammers that aren't true VFLs

 

Correct. Anybody can be a bandwagon fan when they are winning so it doesn't count, and in fact lowers your standing on the fandom hierarchy. To support suckness is true fandom.

A related corollary is that fandom points also accrue inversely with quality of seating. People with lower level seats between the 40s are very rarely in the top echelon. The real fans are upper deck, and the best of them are behind poles, because only top notch fans would suffer through watching a shitty team from the upper deck behind a pole.

 

if... when we become entrenched, we could enlist the volunteer navy to keep us stocked with provisions for the winter. damn the torpedoes... gbfo, vfl, #truefansgetit

 

There should be a law that states, "Before a person can go on a rant (usually one that would rival Homer), that person MUST be able to distingish between as well as properly use the words "your" & "you're". We can discuss proper punishment, above and beyond looking like the stupid **** they already are, at any time.
