Did they harm anybody? We're they driving? No. This sounds like these cops trying to puff out their chest. Congrats guys, hope you feel like winners. At least nobody got tazed or sprayed.

Let me see if I understand what you have typed . It is ok to break the law , in Tennessee if you play football for the "VOLS" is that right ?? Just maybe the team gets hurt , after all it is about football , not how party .

Where can I read about the kids on the H.O.P.E. scholarship who were caught drinking and partying? Surely there are a few front page stories on them too.

Just a couple of things from the news...there's lots of stories out there for you

Signal Mountain police arrested 17 high school students from the Baylor School, Girls Preparatory School and the McCallie School last weekend and charged them with drinking alcohol under age, police said.

University of Tennessee Police Department officers arrested the president of the recently sanctioned Sigma Chi Fraternity along with another 19-year-old member in an underage drinking incident early Friday morning

Everything here is "would you buy your kids a Michael Sam jersey if he was an Atlanta Falcon?" and the pending doom from the ice event that will hit Atlanta tomorrow.

I think the cops came by and told them to quite down or else. The players chose what else and chose wrong. If they just got citations sounds like they just aggravated the cops to me. Which is better than pissing them off which is what they used to do.

I think the point was they were at a residence not out in public putting anyone at risk. This would go for anyone, not just football players.

Front page? And, where is the outcry that its a privilege to attend UT on a HOPE scholarship? Where are the good folks who never did anything wrong in their youth discussing what punishment they deserve and how severe it should be?

I know I'm being facetious, but the standards...they are doubling and tripling. These are college kids first...football players second (at least supposedly). They screwed up, but for some to make it seem as if they are bad seeds who will always be bad seeds is way over the top. JMHO.

I believe the crimelog is on page 2 since they're only on partial scholarship with the Hope

I don't condone underage drinking even though you can join the military and go fight for this country age 18. What I know I would rather see is if they are drinking at least do it in a safe manor. At least they are not driving around town drinking. Just saying.

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.

I agree 100%!

DENY, DENY, DENY, DENY!!!!

Mo Couch admitted wrongdoing, sad but how did that work out for him, as apposed to everyone else involved??? Mo is the only one NOT still playing football!

Claim racism against the KPD! Give Jesse and Al a call if you have to. Hey it works for the President!

As a last resort, you can claim that you are gay, every news network will come to your defense and then the KPD will have to apologize and drop all charges!



Sadly, this is probably decent advice. Welcome to America 2014!

Flame away!

Well at least it was a "Team Effort!" I say add in some extra grunting to the S&C program. And sprints...sideline to sideline as we will need that in the games.

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!

Bet that linebacker's family wishes he had gone to Auburn...so he could sell pot like Bessent..and make something out of himself.

If they were drinking some sissy stuff like crown royal or flavored vodka, I would make them jog down I-40 to Nashville and back carrying telephone polls.

This is a Tennessee Whiskey State!!!

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.

We, as a nation, went through all of this in thhe late '60s and '70s. Old enough to serve, old enough to drink; so WE DID LOWER THE DRINKING AGE TO 18. (In Tennessee, after I was already 21.)

The result was highway carnage, and the 21 limit was reinstated, after Congress ruled states would lose highway dollars for not raising them back up.

It's a shame the US ever had drinking laws any different than Europe, where even children are served watered down wine by their parents at the dinner table, learn their own individual consumption limits and responsible drinking at home before they ever get behind a wheel.

Now laws vary by state. But in Tennessee it is illegal even for parents to serve alcohol to their under 21 children, even in their own home, to acclimate them to alcohol.

Result is a lot of craziness happens. Had we reasonable laws on the books for decades, this would have been a non-issue, except for the disturbing the peace. And that is real and understandable. As I said before, I hosted a few parties that got out of hand and was the one who had to answer the door when the cops knocked. My solution was to tell them I'd unplug the stereo and announce the parties over, not just turn it down or off, and I'd put on a pot of coffee and not let anyone leave til sober. Never had a problem, except been there, done that, and had to wear a tee shirt covered in her puke while I stood a buddys date in the shower to get her puke off both of us.

And why was that? Because in the US, especially states with laws like Tennessee's, parents can't teach their children how to drink, and most kids don't really start 'til they're out the house, they are still finding their limits in the worst possible settings.

I bet Yacob is a-frickin-mazed!

Butch should definitely keep the team in the safe manor all off-season.

No flame here. A bit of tactical confusion might be just the thing. I was thinking of adding a bone through O'Brien's nose. Also, A.J. could sport some cherry lip gloss and cheek rouge. If O'Brien got all dolled up and A.J. put the bone in his nose, that would be a negative stereotype, when confusion is the order of the day. One could trot out a psychologist, and the other could get himself a preacher. There are many possibilities.

All of this is so blown out of proportion !!!! Guess if they were having a gay party we would consider making statues of them and place them at the entrance of Neyland Stadium !!!!!!
