CJ Leak's numbers from his last spring game. I don't recall anyone crying over him not being named the starter during summer practice.

I don't recall any Chattanooga homers crying to the papers about how Victor Ellis got screwed by Dennis Franchione for playing time, and he led the SEC in tackles the year before. The TFP and local press sure did a great job of ignoring that one, but when it comes to the upper class white kid, oh no...

Of course, none of them were rich white kids from Lookout Mountain, 2 parent homes and McCallie educations.

Backing up Casey Clausen and backing up John Crompton are two astronomically different things.

Dude's an SEC reject, and he's worshipped in the 'nooga. And when things don't go his way, he runs right back to his security blanket-town, and the morons who idolize him there. Coleman's destined to spend the next 30 years after graduation as the phys. ed. teacher at McCallie, telling all the 17 year old girls about what a studly beast he was when he was quarterback.[/QUOTE]

Uhhh.... :eek:lol::eek:lol::eek:lol::eek:lol:

I don't know how to quite break it to you, but McCallie's an All boys school.

Uhh.... CJ Leak didn't lose his starting job to Casey Clausen. Clausen was already gone, and Fulmer decided to start Brent Schaeffer/Erik Ainge freshman duo.

He beat out Ricky Clausen.

But who was crying about that? Not me. Who cares about spring game numbers. There's a lot more to the selection process than that.

Remind me again how many big time programs made BJ an offer coming out of HS? Nobody but UT. I cannot blame them for giving BJ a home state sympathy scholly. I suspect that they were trying to give us UT fans our very own Rudy moment.

Why does anybody care? That's what I don't get? BJ wanted to play. He wasn't going to at UT. So he transfered? Why do any of you care, since you hated him to begin with?

And don't give me the quitter bullcrap.

Because noogans insist on bringing him up as our savior.

It's the GDamn truth though.

Were BJ Coleman a graduate of Sequatchie County, and his mother had two teeth then Mark Weidmer and the Chattanooga press wouldn't have slobbered all over him every opportunity.

It's the same thing. Lookout Mountain money and a well to do family, coming out of McCallie... and the press around here eat it up.

The late Victor Ellis (who was a friend of mine) was completely screwed by Franchione, and nobody in the press said a word in his defense. But BJ, can't let anything happen to him (especially since the editors of the paper are close friends of the Coleman family).

When Ralph Potter was hired, he benched all the rising seniors at McCallie so he could play "his players" and build for the future. Where were any of the Chattanooga hypocrites then? There was a couple of kids who could've gone to play CFB in that class. (and for the record, I did not go to McCalllie, nor did anyone in my family).

This is the most backwards, politically driven town in the state when it comes to your background and your class upbringing. Don't believe me? Go watch the Cotton Ball down at the trade center.

Actually, I think he's smart for transferring. He would have never seen the field at UT (and that's not because he wouldn't be the best QB on the roster), unless one of CLK's QB's got injured. He saw the writing on the wall. That's all CLK needed, "He won those games with FULMERs QB." Plus it's obvious it would hurt CLK's chances a getting a couple good QB's this year like he wanted to.

You mean like he did in the O/W game? Kiffin put him in on the 4 yard line and he led the team 96 yards to a td. Has JC EVER done that?

BINGO!

I am not a coleman defender or from Chattanooga but that is an ignorant statement. He had as many stars as Bray has. He did not get offers because he was the definition of a lock. Your sitting here trying to say that the big programs all knew scout was wrong and even though he was a four star QB he would never pan out as a DI QB. That is absurd. I forgive you though because I usually like your posts. (not that you care)

For one thing Victor Ellis does not play QB, like it or not, its the star position, for another Victor Ellis did not go to the state school. There are more UT fans in Chattanooga than they are Moc fans. If you honestly think that Chattanooga is the most politically driven town in Tn., you've never lived in Nashville, and especially Memphis. What ever your hatred for this particular situation on this topic, its uncalled for basically calling out people who were pulling for BJ to be the starting QB as racist.

18-34 against Glenville State is very impressive. I suspect Florida and Alabama's defense is a little tougher.

I would hope that UT's receivers and line are a little better too. I wonder how Tyler Bray would fair against those teams with his high school team. I expect he will do better with UT's. If I was a bettin man I would bet anyone here that BJ is a better QB than Crompton. It is not even a question. I am so tired of this ridiculous argument.

That particular comment about "white, rich kid from Lookout Mountain" was aimed specifically at the Chattanooga newspaper and the media. They have yet to have their lips removed from Coleman's rear end.

There was even an article one time about the kids mannerisms, as in well spoken, articulate, well brought up kid and that made him a winner. If he had been from a poor family with a father in the pen and a degree from Seqoyah vocational, would that make him less a winner?

But to add to that... why are you pulling for one kid over the other? Does the fact that he's from Chattanooga have something to do with it? Why aren't you pulling for Nick Stephens?

I understand the need for our local athletes to do well, but the whole "Kiffin/BJ Conspiracy" led by the TFP and Dr. Basketball (though I haven't listened to him on the topic in the last few months- so I wouldn't know whether or not he's moved on) is so utterly ridiculous.

If this kid had been from anywhere else, it would've been just another casualty of changing regimes.


It's delusional, and some of the locals apparently buy into this crap- hook, line and sinker.

If you're going to play football for a school that gives you zero shot at making it in the pros you might as well try to go somewhere with outstanding academics. It's a very limited success.

If he went somewhere else, he would not have his "home town" blankey for support
