Tennessean sports writers

Post by BWSeven »

Don't care to have a sports writer tell me who to support. MR Estes. I will support whomever I darn well please. Take your Vandy hate and disdain elsewhere.

Sent him an email - we'll see if he responds. It was lazy reporting at best.

Who is this Estes guy? Seriously.

Given the recent post here about our ages, I'll venture a guess that I've seen more SEC games of all types, and more Vanderbilt games than he ever will. I don't give a $h!t what he thinks.

As for Aria Gerson, she was a great hire.

Estes is a just another cue for fans to cancel their subscriptions.

Didn’t read it. Don’t intend to considering the source.
Anyone care to provide a few sentences to summarize what that idiot said?

I don't know what this thread is talking about. What did the guy say? It sounds like something I wouldn't enjoy.

Is there a link or something? or a quote that's relevant?

He said why should VU have any fans at all if the team plays as if it doesn't care as it did at home with UK. He lifted snippets of Stacks post game presser into a diatribe vs our teams very ugly performance vs. UK concluding that the team should have no fans.

I emailed him that it was lazy reporting and that the Hustler covered VU better than him. He responded: " thanks for reading my column: The Hustler has good writers."

At least he read my email and responded.

If any of you would like Estes to know why we will remain fans of this team and all Vanderbilt teams I suggest that you email him at: gestes@tennessean.com

Why complain about Gentry Estes? He was only doing his job, which was to get you to read his column and talk about it. Estes is not wrong, either. Vanderbilt is committing fan abuse by continuing to tolerate losing basketball and football programs.

There are two rival schools that any Vanderbilt basketball team should be fired up to play. One is UT and the other is UK. There is something wrong with our team.

I don't like him either, he is too negative about almost anything that he writes but you are right we have been losing way too long and I don't see much in sight in basketball, I know that we have 2 big players out but where were they eary in the season? I am very much down on our team now and I don't see a anything in the future to be excited about. I think that the women's team lost good players before the season started so I can see where they are not very good. I think that they have a good coach (S.R.) but a few of these bad games are pretty much troublesome. I'll stick with our team anyway, I have been a fan and supporter for many years now and hopefully things will improve.
