tell them I said they can go fizzle themselves....
...they are not fans.
Just for them, I hope Currie waits till deep into December.
While I can't personally pull against the Vols, I'm broad minded enough to understand the reasoning behind their logic. It is much akin to a King Solomon situation, where those that truly love are willing to sacrifice for the long term good of the loved one. I don't agree with their view, but I can understand the reasoning without ridiculing them.
You may not think that they are Vol fans, but you are wrong about that. Several are long term donors and season ticket holders who have never waivered through the last decade. They are life long fans who are convinced that one more loss will be the end of Butch. As awful as the loss is to them in the short term, they feel that the long term positive welfare of the program would be worth the short term negative from the loss.
I asked several of them last weekend if they'd be pulling for a loss if they knew that Butch's situation would be evaluated at the end of the season instead of after every game. They all replied No, they would pull for a win.
Edit: Actually what I posted was not 100% accurate. There was one individual who thought that a loss to UK would be a necessary requirement for termination even at the end of the season.
