"Coach, you've gotta do the show." "Nah. I ain't." "Well, per your contract you're obligated to do it every week." "Well, I'm wearing this ugly shit and I ain't smiling."
"Coach Fulmer, can you do that damn show with Bob?" "No, Jeremy. I'll golf with Thunder and make sure Jimmy Haslam never sees you, but I can't do that." "Dammit"
Pruitt can't physically not say what he's thinking. He jumped the fan base's ass over spring game attendance. He also told the fan base to "aim a little higher" with expectations and not celebrate 8-5 too hard.
For those interested or concerned about the black jerseys/BLM stuff, Tee Martin came on Swain's radio show and really clarified things. Short version: They're doing this as a way to support the players to speak their mind, make a platform. They are planning on bringing in speakers in coordination with efforts within the general student body. They haven't determined where charity fundraising will go, but it won't be the organization "Black Lives Matter," but rather in support of the cause of BLM. Could be the Boys and Girls Club, or whatever. They haven't determined that. He did specifically say not BLM the organization, so I think they are cognizant of political entanglement and avoiding it. If you are at all concerned, it is worth your time as I think it clears things up.
Ya, I figured they had the angles to shape it before they announced it. It still challenges many Vol fans to look at this issue and what they think they know with fresh eyes. Which is good and the point.
I think Dooley would not have embarrassed Tennessee, he's a lawyer. Butch definitely would have been in black face while marching
