    when I joined this board earlier this year the participants were knowledgable football fans who supported the Vols. That was a great improvement over the self appointed Tennessee football experts at the govolextra.com boards that appeared to hate everything about Tennessee Athletics an through their thoughtless comments are on track to severly hurt the program. Apparently those people don't understand the power of the internet. Whenever we post anywhere we should realize that an 18 year old player we are excessively criticising is going to see the post or an opposing coach is going to use it against us in recruiting. Coach Dooley and his assistants are working hard to build a program in a very difficult time so let's not try to make their job more difficult. Constructive criticism is fine but over the hateful comments are only distructive

    We all have an opinion. It's not being negative it's how they're being coached. I'll be the first to say I wouldn't hurt no 18 yr. old or 88 yr. old person. You pay a man one million dollars he needs to able to get these young men fired up and ready to play. They're not coached like 90% of the SEC players. We got the talent but you have to have the coaching. You check my past comments about DD and I was a great supporter of him but the Miss.st game was the worst Defense I ever saw in Tenn history. It's not the 18 yr. old fought it's the coaching. I will keep giving my opinion on this because I want all these 18 yr old and older to win.
