Probably right... our only hope would have been a time honored “Georgia didn’t have enough time to run one more play” type scenario...
Greatest AD in the country, Dr. Danny White, took another shot at the fans for no reason in an interview.
"One of the things I have noticed as a challenge, and I knew about it coming in, but it's probably a new challenge for me is some of the negativity of our fan base. I think some of that probably is bred from the fact that in a broad base way we are not asking them to be participants." He sure is a condescending little shit. If he wins it doesn't matter, but why wouldn't you go for something more along the lines of "I want our fans to be excited, yada yada" instead of twisting their ear and treating them like children
I would argue Tennessee fans are as positive of thinkers as any in the country, probably#1. That fans still care as much as they do is something the smug bastard can’t comprehend.
I get saying there’s negativity within the fan base but that should be expected with the product that’s been put on the field the last 10 years and I’m excited about fixing and giving them a product to be proud of at Tennessee. that’s why White and Bobby Hill is here as his coach anything else sounds like [itch bay]ing.
To me it literally made no sense in the context of the question. Talking about getting more donors/donations. Also - when money is involved and you still put out a shit product, people are going to be more negative IMO, so what he said I don’t agree with.
Essentially said fans are negative, and the best way to make them less negative is to convince them to give us (the AD) more money.
Yeah it’s just the kind of thing those guys all say. I don’t much care one way or the other. Just get this crap fixed
We have to be one of the most patient big time fan bases and for an AD to say the problem is we aren't giving them enough money so they can keep taking a dump on our dreams is out of touch to say the least.
It implies we are not spending enough, but a quick look at salaries and buyouts indicates... that's not it.
Maybe, the best way to that isn't to go about saying "We have a miserable fanbase, and those sons of a [itch bay]es need to shut up and give us more money." Because clearly the reason Tennessee is a cluster[uck fay] is the lack of funds, due to these tightwad assholes making 50K/yr.
