exerpt from letter to coach after game ..

I was so angry with the game....I am sending you an invoice for my trip ... The product on the field ... is not something I was at all proud of, and I feel as though I’m entitled to my money back for the trip. Please see my invoice attached in this email. I will happily send along receipts if need be.

Angry Fan Demands Money From coach for poor performance ...

That was quite awkward but rather funny and understandable from both sides. I cant believe he actually sent the check though. If nothing else, Kelly gained some alumni interest from him instead of losing it completely.

Thats gnarly dude, almost as gnarly as the orange Memphis jersey.

I think that's pretty hilarious. Almost all of us (at least on message boards) take this stuff way too seriously at times.

Priceless!

I pay for cable and internet service, which i used to watch the first to Tiger football games.... Wonder if I can see TW my cable and utility bills lol??

I also want my money back from Comcast. My digestive tract is finally settling down after watching that MTSU fiasco.

If kelley had done as many coaches do and reacted defensively, then he would have less support than he does now.

He never called the guy an "expert" or asked him if he had ever coached .. Other coaches should take note at the positive reaction of fans to a non thin skinned coach ..

who is him?

Cal was thin skinned while claiming to be able to take bazooka shots, RIP was the worst I have ever seen, Tommy answers critics that never even asked him the question in the venue he is speaking, I did not single out any coach, but obviously you have someone in mind...

I am of the mind that coach should WELCOME citicism becasue it demonstrates interest and pasion, I think that their reaction snowballs negative comments and questions rather than "answers" them...

I was at the MTSU fiasco. Just the game alone cost our family $120. If I add gas, food, hotel...wow. Tommy, you owe me about $572.

One week later....

I bet that fan is happy now.
