Was he running after a wide receiver?

 

[volfaninky]

He would be one of 32 if he played for Georgia, not one of 2. And nothing happened to any of them.

Why is this even news. He drove over a median? Ok. I did the same thing last week. Nobody cares

Exactly, I dropped a 42’ grain trailer off a culvert, got stuck and nobody from the press even showed up

So now when these kids get traffic tickets it's a major news story? These bloggers love those clicks I guess.

I care, I had to re paint that thing after you hit it!

The week we played Georgia. Maybe it’s contagious.

Pat Forde is pissed he wasn't able to break this news. BTW, F him.

Yeah but you are overlooking that he was cited for reckless AND improper lane change.

 

[utchs81]

Nothing in the report about DUI, so that's good right?

 

[GreveHaller]

He was playing thru the whistle

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Very surprised a UT DB was moving fast and simultaneously close enough to hit something.

That’s a BS article. Is this a necessary part of the story? Actually is the article even necessary?

“Slaughter played in Tennessee's 38-10 loss to No. 1 Georgia on Saturday. He led the team with a career-high 11 tackles and made an interception that was negated by his own defensive holding penalty during a critical sequence early in the game”

The Knoxville media has always been one of the biggest enemies of the program. Amazing how some programs tell the press what they can report.

Actually Forde reported that Schiano was standing on the median and had to jump to avoid getting hit.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

In a car, driving reckless, and he STILL hit nothing!

 

[ENGRVOL]

Probably was told by his coaches to be more like a Georgia player hence the citation.

 

[sjt18]

For those of you taking shots at Slaughter... remember what you did to Hadden. Slaughter is probably UT's best DB. He probably was before Hadden got injured.

 

[VAVol85]

Replying to sjt18…I think Hadden is better than Slaughter in coverage and that Gibson will eventually be better than both. But, I agree with your point that this board is not always rational in their evaluations.

Now that's funny. Reading this in my deer stand and busted out laughing. Guess my hunt is over for today but thanks for the laugh

Stopped reading after "knox news"

 

[UTK]

Dang the Georgia rubbed off on him

 

[volfan102455]

Why is this news? It is a traffic violation. There was no accident. Do they report when any student at the university gets a traffic ticket?

And I am mad at myself for giving the blogger a "hit" to read the story!
