Tennessee Half Brains Score a W

ApostleofGrief

According to this, it was a "fan uprising" which triggered the withdrawal of one of the coaches that UT was courting. I don't recall another case of half brains actually preventing a hire. Ted Turner, put this in your pipe and smoke it.

Well, fuck, it took me a few days to recover from the 2 fifths of vodka after the Central loss. Then there were problems with my AOL dial up connection and I had to splice the phone lines. I had an extra shift at the Dollar Store. Then I had to tape up my windshield since it is leaking and broken into again.

A lot of people were pulling hard for that (most of whom now are totally silent -- I didn't forget though).

I like to pull hard... a lot.

Disagree.

A true Halfbrain would have encouraged a Leach hiring just to see the hilarity that ensued.

Leach went nuts with Big 12 pressure. The level of awesomeness as Rainman faced SEC pressers would be epic. FYFMFE meltdowns every fucking week.

That's exactly what happened -- the UT Half Brains were pulling for Leach. Note I left out "hard." It was some other coach earlier in the week they half-brained out.

"When word leaked Thursday night that Currie had met with Leach, it was met with almost overwhelming approval by fans on social media. " the half brains seem to have a lot of influence there.
