Your last sentence could just as easily say "Too many people disagree with me and don't want to talk about what I want to talk about, even though they may have some valid points."
Can't speak for 'nut, but I have rarely seen him back off a point. IMO he is just saying he doesn't want to stir up shizzle.
I sure hope the Vols beat MSU, because if not, I'm going to be unbearable on here to some of you who sit there and act like improvement is losing a game you should've won because you allowed three long runs where the player was never touched, missed a FG and a XP, turned the ball over three times in critical situations, dropped an open TD pass, had 9 guys on the field on a critical 2 point try, and gave up 51 mf'ing points. If we play to the bitter end but lose to MSU, will that be OK?
Really? 51-44 is one thing, getting stomped 42-7, a game I sat through, at Arkansas, a team roughly equivalent or maybe even worse than uga this year, is another entirely. Straight up, do you think this year's team is better than last years?
Nothing wrong with keeping up the pressure or having high expectations. I think one difference from my side of the fence is that I am not looking back to 07, 04, 01, 98, 97 or even 94 or the Majors years, I am looking only at last year compared to this one. Just saying "_____ so we should be better" (some candidates..."we are a top program", "it has been three years", "Saban did it in two years", "its a different era", "we pay a lot for coaches", or take your pick) doesn't erase the miserable injury-plagued 5-7 losing to Kentucky season we had last year. There have to be some intermediate steps.
I hate what the Vol fan base has become.
You can play this either way. What did it become in 2007, when we actually went to the SECCG and no one was happy, and we ended up running off a successful coach and driving our program completely into the ditch? How does that compare to the 95 uga game I re-watched recently when the stadium was electric and the crowd was crazy on every play for only the second game of the season? Did maybe our fanbase get spoiled along the way? So let's get really impatient again, run off the rebuilding guy, and then maybe we can all be happy going 5-7 or worse and competing with Vandy and UK to stay out of the East cellar every year, because that's where we were last year.
I actually like the attitude that you and some have, that we should not settle for this. Well no one is. But if you're eating your way out of a turd sandwich and the bread crust has shizzle stains on it and is dry, don't complain. At least it's mostly bread! Just be patient a little while longer, nibble a little more shizzlety dry crust, and hopefully on the other side is a juicy burger and all the beer you can drink, or...it could be an even bigger turd sandwich.
We'll find out soon enough.
