So how bad is doing it one more time gonna be? Just loosen up and have some fun.Story Links CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. He has had no problems doing it over and over again to get to where he is now. Brian just needs to do what he has already done many times: sellout. So, Brian, please step off the soap box, come back to reality, and realize that this is good for UT, which means it is good for him. Seems like Brian is trying to sabotage our football program to me. This can translate to losing recruits, which can translate to losing on the field. So, if these recruits see how un-fun he is, they might think all of Tennessee is. He is a face of the radio station that is the face of the university. If you are Brian you are doing this because you think you’re a hero but in reality he is not. This is bad in general, but it is especially bad if you are Brian. He is letting his HIGH moral code get in the way of his judgement. This link is a good start on why I don’t see Barstool as a brand to align an athletics program that has a hell of a lot of female employees and student-athletes: Now why would someone not like free exposure? Why would someone who is supposed to back the beliefs of the university not want all the help in recruiting that we can get? Now, Barstool is giving us an endless supply of free buzz to a younger demographic, possibly even to high school kids also known as “recruits.” In my opinion, as an 18-year-old former high school student, Tennessee football doesn’t have the best reputation in the media. So because he doesn’t like the company that is giving us free publicity we shouldn’t accept it. They have let their previous opinions of Barstool Sports get in the way of what’s good for the program. Even if WNML has a contractual obligation to align their views with those of the university, they do otherwise. Now you would think that the “state run” radio station would be behind the University of Tennessee’s decision to lean into the free exposure. New episode of #TheSlice featuring discussing on #RockyTop! Somethin' about them #OrangeBritches □ /2wzb1Papgc This must mean Brian and his coworkers are upset with how invested the University of Tennessee is in the Duggs love.Ĭue #RockyTop! Big first half on the road. Rice of WNML is a self described fun hater. I am a known hater of fun and thief of joy. They are being led by a captain of the “No Fun Police” himself, Brian Rice. This came as a shock to many Vol fans, but especially the typical “state run” radio listeners. ![]() These past weeks have been huge for Tennessee football, with the recruits rolling in and the addition of Coach Gus Duggerton. ![]()
