And now the Vols need some anger-mangement lessons?

And Daisy calls ME a troll!

Good thread on a UT msg board talks about socio-economics of college sports. Fostermom, mother of NFL player Arian Foster, former Vol, gets into it with LeonVol. Not a smart thing to do. Leon is one of the best posters on our boards.

And now Florida (courtesy Chris Rainey) is in the knucklehead sweepstakes. Has Urban Meyer really had 27 of his players arrested in his half-dozen years in Gainesville? Speaks sooo highly of him and his program, eh? Or is it about time to stop recruiting thugs (nationwide)? I realize football is a stunningly brutal sport that requires a level of thinking (and tolerance for pain) that is far beyond me, but is this really what institutes of "higher learning" want to be associated with? (Excuse me while I wax moral)

Oh yeah, Rainey, and texting a woman, "Time to die [expletive]"

The Gators are actually getting some value for their money. The Vols on the other hand may finish with: a losing record, no bowl appearance, and no wins within the SEC. If the SEC stays strong throughout the season and the Vols finish at 3-9 (though I would love an UAB or Memphis upset for a 2 win season), most of their remaining fans will be calling for a pay cut. :lol:

To the extent they can tolerate it they will as long as in brings in the almighty dollar. Business has been good, so I am sure (behind closed doors) they are saying "Bring it on" or rather, bring em in!

Coach Meyer says the program (30 arrests involving 27 players during his 6 years and 2 national championships) is NOT dirty and that he is "real disappointed".
