College kids. It is what it is on this night. Good time for coaching for jones to teach young men about life instead of football. Could be worse there could have been DUIs or worse.


On a note most of us has done way worse with alcohol. I sure have.

Move on!!! Learn from this!!

I think this one will blow over. The players involved will be running a lot and maybe do some community service. You might see a game suspension or two. Butch can't let this one pass unpunished but this isn't a big enough deal to kick anyone off the team I don't think. Somebody would have got a drunk and disorderly if things got out of hand at all.

Guys, I might be wrong about this so flame away buuuuut...

Do you really think it is a good idea for a fan base that should be supporting their athletes to throw up a list of arrested teammates? I am just trying to see this from the football team's view.

Did you not know there are trolls from other teams on this forum? (not saying the op is but trust me there are a few here)

Most of the charges should will be dropped.

Butch needs to tell these kids to not talk to the cops ever. Never give consent and never disobey>>>>>just don't fooking speak!!!!!!

Evidence in cases like this is only what you give the cops!!!!!!!

Keep your mouths shut and don't verbally consent to anything!!!

Physically consent to everything.

They didn't have to consent to a breathalyzer test and I assume that they didn't nor did they have to perform any sort of field sobriety test over the suspicion of underage consumption. I am a friend of Steve Oberman who successfully defended me once for a DUI and he handles cases like this for UT all the time and underage consumption is such a chicken $hit charge that even the assistant DA's roll their eyes at it. The cops can likely only prove these guys were underage at a party where alcohol was being served and can give the claim that they detected alcohol on some breaths...but these charges will eventually be dismissed (perhaps after a small fine is paid or a day spent picking up garbage as a nephew of mine had to do once)...Some of you just like to complain and we don't have Bar Knoxville fights and Pilot gas station robberies anymore.

The 18-year-olds are old enough to sacrifice their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, for example, but too young to have a beer. Some things do not compute.

Absolute Truth. You knuckle McBags that try to act holier than thou and act like you never did some things you regret...are full of digested and excreted hay from a mature male domesticated steer. There was no violence. Buzzed buddies lookin out for each other. I stepped toward 2 cops that were beating my friend and just said PLEASE...you don't have to hurt him! They had back up coming (for no reason) and were going to arrest me. Luckily there was a crowd gathering and they just pushed me. 6'2" 245 made the last guy hesitate before the rest got there.

You're comparing this to what Hernandez did? Or Rainey threatening to kill someone? That's seriously the answer you wanna go with on a public message board? There are a dozen posters on this site who had an alcohol brush with the law as a youth and went on to live perfectly Normal lives. This isn't a gateway crime.

No, I'm not comparing this to what Hernandez did and rainey or any other gator, but I am saying that if you let this type of culture develop it will kill your program! I know a family here in Alabama who is now wondering if they made the right decision in sending their son, who is a linebacker btw, to Tennessee.
I had a son get arrested for PD and he was suspended from his college baseball team. He came home and I told him to get his @#* back up there and make things right with the coaches and the team, and if it ever happened again, he wouldn't have to worry about the coach kicking him off the team because I'd do it for him, and he went back, straightened things out and played baseball. I have a God-son who is a walk-on running back at Auburn, and He has the heart of a champion! He is not smoking dope and getting in trouble with the Law! He is a leader! In fact the was one of three UA chose to be the host for their new recruits coming in this year because he is responsible! I didn't say anyone should be kicked off the team. I said they need to be put on a short leash and if they are in trouble with the law then kick them off the team. If Butch wants problems he should turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to this. If he wants a championship program deal with it decisively and quickly!

I swore not to respond again but the holier than thou crowd have me so pissed I can't help myself. Let's see first it looks like football players were the only ones ticketed. If that proves to be true then my posts that police over-reacted seem to be right. Also my suggestion that it was KPD ego's gone amuck also seems more than plausible. Since their complete bungling of the murder of the girl and boyfriend who attended TN, I have become a less than endorser of their brilliance. If Cheeks would get off his butt, I believe a meeting with the University and police officials are in order. It sure sounds like targeting to me but hopefully the full truth will prevail. Yesterday I wrote that if these were college student apartments then this is all the more ridiculous. Loud music in a college apt complex full of students? May be different if it was an old people community. Let's stop with the nonsense like comparing these young men to Aaron Hernandez, I mean the guy who made that comparison is sickening and borders on a mental disorder.

I wasn't KPD... it was the Knox County Sheriff's Department but I get your point.

Thanks for the correction. But as you say the point is the same, over reach is the order of the day..most of this hopefully will blow over but some on here using a comparison of Hernandez and AJ or any of our current players is so beyond the pale and speaks to delusion. Oh by the way I have a wart should I have it zapped or should I have them remove my arm?

I know it's random, but it's still ridiculous that we send younger guys off to other countries to fight for America, yet a 20 yr old can't have a beer. What hypocrisy and wacked out thought process.

It is pretty silly. Even the cops where I live think so. If you are about to be deployed and get pulled over drunk, just show them your orders. They will escort you home and thank you for your service in most cases. I've seen it a number times before friends got deployed and were under 21. I can't speak for how they handle it Knoxville though.

I'm not defending these guys but back when I was on campus (2001 - 2004), there would be parties like this with student athletes participating in underage drinking. The police would drive by and ignore whatever they assumed was going on (sometimes even taking pictures with the drunks). The few times an arrest was made it was to make a statement or respond to a complaint. I'm talking like maybe arresting 2 - 3 people but this many arrests is a little overboard. I specifically remember a popular female athlete (name withheld) who was in a similar situation and the police walked away. I'm sure some of my fellow alums on here have similar stories. Just my 2 cents.
