Love everything about this. Everything.

 

croom looks soft in that picture.

 

If it weren't for NCAA regulations, Croom would have that Downy teddy bear's job.

 

Had to do it.

 

I like this, too. A lot. Butch just has to win here. I need him to win here.

 

F××k that. Anything that contains that Team 118 nonsense is shit.

 

Explain?

 

Who gives a crap what you or I think, so long as the team buys in--which seems to be the case, by the way.

 

The Team #whatever stuff is every bit as stupid as the Orange Dog.

 

Let's see how much of his clichéd nonsense they are still buying if the only game they win in October is Chattanoga.

 

What is printed and typed in the media and said in front of camera's is extremely calculated. I'd imagine the team sees what's behind the curtain.

 

The cheer leader ra ra stuff drives me insane.

Jones kneeling on the sideline copy catting Neyland still drives me out of my mind.

In the end though, I just want Jones to win.

 

Dude knows PR, or has someone in his ear giving him advice. I'm not a fan of that stuff either, but 99% of the fan base eats that stuff up. That's why they do it.

 

Ruthless cynics rule this board, but that is not different than the real world.

Mercy exist only inside the minds of the weak.

 

Just win baby!

 

The wins will come soon, or else he will be out, like anybody else.

 

What's your VN screen name?

 

If they do, his tenure will be extremely short here.
