So, with a few minutes of spare time this morning, I read
through some tweets that had been sent out by a particular Tennessee fan. Let me
say that I met a lot of Vols fans and this guy did NOT represent the types of
fans I met.
But let me get into what he said. First of all, he was
complaining about the 4th-and-6 play when Oregon led by 17 and
decided to go for it on fourth down.
This was the first half! Not the fourth quarter. The Ducks
were leading by 17, not exactly a huge margin. Certainly teams have come back
from larger deficits. And this moron says that it was unsportsmanlike and that
Oregon should have punted. Really? How did all that punting work out for Butch
Jones?
Second, if the Vols had defended a little better, you know,
by maybe lining a defensive back up over a completely uncovered receiver, they
would have been able to stop the play. But, you know what, he was upset that
Oregon basically made the Vols look silly there, so I might be willing to excuse
his ignorance some… until I read his solution:
“That’s where hitting a skill player at the knees out of
bounds would work”
Was this guy really suggesting that the way to play football
is to cheap shot and purposely attempt to injure? There’s a reason he is a
clueless fan and not a player or coach. Wonder how he would feel if I said
something similar about the Volunteers? There is absolutely no reason to even consider
such actions.
He showed his true ignorance in another post when he said
that Oregon holds on every single play. Well, considering Oregon uses a lot
(and I mean a lot) of cut blocking (legally) techniques, that simply cannot be
true. Period. I mean, it is purely idiotic to make a statement like that if you
actually watch the play. Apparently, this guy knows as much about football as
my mother (and she knows very little about football).
What he shows, though, is that there are clueless idiots
everywhere. Fortunately, the Tennessee fans I met had a lot more class than
this guy and we shared a great time at our tailgate with plenty of good food
and drink to go around.
Better days are ahead for the Vols, sadly, when those days
come, this clown will still be posting his stupidity all over twitter.
