You guys make Vols sports fun to read about and banter with. I am so thankful this board is different than VQ. You would be hard pressed to find one thread over there that doesn't have at least one negative post. The name calling, etc.. is way out of control. I use to post over there couple years back but stopped and now just read the info the Mods bring. But I love to discuss UT sports so I hope to contribute more here. I've been lurking for some time now trying to see if this board is legit, and it is. Thanks to you all! Go Big Orange!

you should definitely post more often.. the more participants, i think the more informed the debate.. And, i do believe this to be a very civil place to express your opinions..critical or supportive..

Thats why I posted over there because it use to be pretty good. If this board turns into that, I will be gone. It just is a negative drain over there. I have followed UT with a passion all my life but have learned at the end of the day, it isn't life or death. Watching some of those guys, I would hate to live their life, always on edge, gotta be miserable people. I hurt when we lose but I have learned over the years to enjoy the process and I get over it much quicker.

Thanks, JeffB.
Glad you are liking the site. We appreciate you and everyone else giving us a try and helping us build the best Vol community on the Web.
Remember, too, it's your community. Wes, Ryan and I are just a part of it. You've built it, spread the word, recruited new members, helped police the board, etc.
Thanks again!

+1 on this! The VQ message board is awful and is pretty much the main reason I dropped my VQ subscription and came here. Glad I made the switch! Much better site!

I, for one, need my wife. What she's doing slumming with me is puzzling - but I'm not complaining. Hope she doesn't ever realize how much better she could have done.
Thanks for the kind words, Alex.
