The Tennessee students checked out on this season weeks ago when they were calling for Butch Jones’ firing via the famous rock on campus. That was after they lost on a hail mary to Florida. Then the next week, Georgia came to town, put up 41 points and held the Vols to a big fat goose egg.
They had a bye after that game, so it’s been 2 weeks since the students could really show their displeasure. That means today’s the today, and they’re proving just how much they’re fed up with Butch by literally just not showing up to the game vs. South Carolina today.

I think I can count about 25 people in those bleachers. I get that those noon kickoffs are rough, I remember being super hungover stumbling through the gates of Sanford Stadium in my day, but when your team blows like one does, it’s not hard to sleep in on a Saturday.
Hey Vols fans, not all hope is lost
