Says fans attitude of "win at any cost" is a contribution factor

I'm sorry, but I have never seen fans of UT (or BG for that matter) ever demanding winning at the price of sacrificing our institutions principles.

And how does pressure to win = shave points??? I'm not seeing the correlation here. Maybe I'm missing something.

I cannot disagree with this guy more. Winning with integrity is the only way to win. How many times have we discussed this on the football forum? Wins are very important, yes, but even more important is a clean program. The fans and the administration wanting a program winning with integrity are to credit for us now having Coach Clawson, I believe.

What?? The fans need to be blamed for this? Makes no sense at all.

I'm sorry, but I have never seen fans of UT...ever demanding winning at the price of sacrificing [their] institution's principles.

UT has principles?
