Can we help out the FSU defense? If we made these "3 not 7" towels, would you buy them at cost? Garnet and Gold colors, with "3 not 7" printed on them to encourage the defense to give up 3 and not 7 points. Wave them when FSU is on defense because this defense isn't worthy of the Tomahawk Chop. Jeff Cameron has the details.

Meh...
Does this defense have problems? Absolutely. But the players on the field deserve our support while we’re at the game, not a bunch of fans waiving something that essentially tells them “we expect you to suck, just try not to suck so badly this time.” I love this site and everything you guys put out. We have all week to discuss how bad the defense is ad naseum. I don’t think there is a need to reinforce these statements at Doak while the game is being played.
Privately, I think its hysterical. But I don’t think its fair to the players on the field when the problems generally stem from the coaching as opposed to the players’ efforts. Further, those coaches are gone after this season anyway, so its not like we need to make any sort of statement about the Defense now. I’d probably buy one if we had a Jeff Bowden situation, but to me this is a situation where we know the problem, we know an attempt at a solution is coming, lets just ride it out.
Sorry to be a downer. I’m not trying to judge any supporter of this in any way. Just making my case. Like I said, I think its really funny. I guess I’ve just seen too many of those ACC Sportsmanship commercials.

Rec. You beat me to the punch.
I enjoy a joke as much as the next guy, and I can be as big of a a$$hole as anyone, and like Mr. Tito said, it is funny here at TN where we take pride in our pissing and poohing on the defensive coaches, but I would never wave one at the players or the team. Total disrespect and like a big FU to the D. I would buy a defensive towel to wipe my tears after every TD the other teams scores, but not one that show any type of disdain towards a team I love. Also you know the media would jump all over this like the scumbags they are.
Other than that it is a funny thought, but not one that I think should be followed thru on.
Now a garnet and gold terrible towel type thing would look cool with the whole stadium waving them, that I would get behind.
SORRY NO PISSING-NO POOHING ON MY NOLES IN PUBLIC!

No problem showing my displeasure for the starting lineup.

Sorry, I read it quickly and took it verbatim
My fault.

wow...
Verbatim is not the right word there…long day…I’m retarded. Regardless, my bad.

I still think terrible towel type things, maybe with the TN logo, would be cool.
Bud could give 83K away at a game as a promotion and they could come out of TN’s massive advertising budget.

How about a "44 not 80" towel?
Maybe a flag. Something big enough for the older boosters to read.
Swagger, Intensity, Execution
Man I was thinking
“What’s wrong with Fortson? And who the hell is 44?” And then it sunk in. Hey look, it’s 4:14 am.
Not an alcoholic, just an FSU grad.

When I first glanced at this article I was like, “oh no not another QB contrevesy”. I thought the towels meant they wanted EJ not Ponder
