8th Maxim List of Faulty Logic

Volnation logic: "Poster "a" knows more than poster "b" because poster "a" has more "likes" and "posts."

The easiest way to spot a dipshit at toos is to look for a poster with a high number of "likes."

 

Recruit picks UT? 5-star. Picks elsewhere? Never wanted him, anyway.

Any 4/5* that hasn't actually signed LOI? Tennessee silent commit.

Criticizing team / coach / AD / Admin means you're not a fan (Negavol).

Tennessee is the only place on earth with a deep and rich tradition.

Character trumps athletic ability and skill.

**TOTY Nominee, IMO, Un. **

 

Despite popular belief, Fulmer saying you have the best hands out of Jelico is not a big deal.

 

I have every confidence that they'll not only eff it up but eff it up royally beyond repair.

 

^I need to hang out with this guy.^

Don't worry. I'm not NY.

 

expectations are the problem

 

I just kicked the shit out of the wife's cat. Again.

 

I had a friend tell me last year after the Bama game that our fans shouldn't boo at home b/c it would turn recruits off. I asked him what he thought the ass-kicking on the field would do for them. He didn't respond. We don't really talk anymore.

 

This one irritates me to no end.

 

Sounds like you came out way ahead in the deal.

 

It's listed, but I'd just like to stress the complete ignorance of saying "Only a "True fan/Real fan" understands that ...."

What usually follows is some sort of complete bullshit along the lines of, "we must all think happy thoughts and post positive stuff so we don't scare recruits off." The folks that call for unconditional support a coach even if he has lost to Maryville College 5 years in a row should be sterilized so they can't contaminate the gene pool.

 

Sports are cyclical. Bama sucked, and now look at them. We suck, so championships are right around the corner.

 

You're doing it wrong.

 

Writing a love letter to a high school football player in the hopes of getting him to commit and thinking that is an example of "Giving my all for Tennessee" should be pretty damn high on the list, imho.

 

I see what you did....

 

Good one.

 

OK, I leave for a few hours and a whole batch of gems appear. Will get to work modifying the list.

Thanks for the props, Tenny. I just liked the idea of a reference guide of fandom dumbassery.

 

Yeah, this got predictably difficult to curate in a hurry.

 

The dream threads make me want to punch puppies.

 

Cats are much more satisfying.

Oh, and apparently EVERY person reads VN while drinking beer because when a post with the slightest bit of humor in it is made, EVERY person that reads it is in the middle of taking a drink because EVERY reply is "You just made me spit/spew beer on my screen." Yeah, guys, that makes you wook weawy weawy bwig.
