Oh! How Soon We Forget!!

November 12th, 2009: 3 University of Tennessee football players are arrested for armed robbery on The Strip in Knoxville. Mike Edwards (who?), and Nu'Keese Richardson are kicked off the team. Freshman starter Janzen Jackson gets suspended for a couple of games and returns to the team in time for the Chik-Fil-A bowl. (Lt of good THAT did)
Fast forward to January 1st, 2010: 4 University of Tennessee basketball players are arrested for speeding. Once stopped the police officers find an open container of liquor, a bag of the chronic and.....wait for it......2 guns underneath the front seats! WTF??? Were these brainiacs paying any attention at all on November 12th? Did they not have some sort of team meeting to reinforce the way a college athlete should carry himself?
Not since Loudon County's own Travis Cozart has a more amazing display of stupidity been shown by a U.T. athlete. I really only have one question for the boys; What in the blue hell were you thinking? If you're a world-class athlete like Tyler Smith, and you KNOW that there are guns in the car, boat, submarine, or hot-air balloon, you do not get in that vehicle!!! The four of you have not only ruined the basketball season for the University, but you have likely confined any professional basketball opportunities to countries where you will be payed in Euros or chickens. Anything that happens from here on, you fully deserve. If you get kicked off the team, you deserve it. And let's not forget the excellent education that you just shit on! A free education, that mind you, all you had to do to receive is play freakin' basketball. By the time I graduate from college, I will be another $45,000 in debt. Nice work jackwads!!! The four of you make me want to projectile vomit, and I free no empathy for you whatsoever. Hopefully Coach Pearl can salvage what is left of the season. I truly hope that the general public holds the four of you responsible for whatever becomes of this season. Enjoy your time in Uzbekistan!
