Somewhat off topic: Is it possible that Pig Howard

has the Arian Foster curse? I don't believe in bashing players and this isn't meant to bash and Pig is definitely a good player and asset to the team but you can arguably say he cost us two wins. I believe someone pointed out that Arian probably cost Tennessee five wins during his Tennessee career due to untimely fumbles. Does this mean Pig is going to cost us at least three more games?

Ok, I don't mean to pick on Pig. My next thread I'll pump some sunshine.

How about just not starting another thread?

If you really think Pig "cost" us the GA game, you've rushed right past smoking weed to smoking straight crack.

Sandvol, should we: butcher the pig, roast the pig, bbq the pig, pull the pig, chop the pig, or pickle the pig?.

Does Pig speak pterodactyl or have a supreme love for tacos? If so,then maybe the Arian Foster comparison is warranted.

Good points.

To my knowledge, Howard hasn't acted like a jack ass his entire career at UT and padded his stats against lesser opponents then offered no shows versus the Florida's and Alabama's of the world.

There is only one Arian Foster thankfully.

Ok, I understand everyone seems to think a player like Pig is worth it even though bad luck seems to follow even if you could see the future and knew he would cost us at least three more wins but we don't know which he is still worth it. I am going to bet he sees less playing time in the future and guys like North, Johnson, and Young see more playing time as well as the incoming players. Jones needs clutch players.

The thing about luck in football is it always seems to favor the better, well coached teams.

If Pig has or develops a fumbling problem, then the coaches should correct that by training him better or benching him.

I haven't seen anything negative from the guy other than the illegal block.

The GA game was just a player giving his all to win for the team. I'll never fault a guy for that.

I don't think a Foster comparison is accurate for that very reason, Foster mailed it in more than a few times for this program.

Good points. Foster's playing a lot better now that he's paid.
P.S.-Just wanted to bring up some topics that might be coaching, or player's luck, etc. Just some food for thought. Some people take offense if you post Mary had a little lamb.

Hard to say he cost us the game when we wouldn't be in a position to win the game without his contributions.

Contributed nothing to the Vandy game, cost us a score with the block in the back. Just sayin.

Georgia game, absolutely, not in the game without him.

How can you be "somewhat off topic" in the very thread that you create?

I guess "Food for thought" would have been better term. Off topic in the sense that we're not talking about expectations or whether Jones should be fired but about is a certain player unlucky?

P.S.-One of the contributors to the thread pointed out that Pig doesn't appear to have Foster's attitude and I agree.

Some serious overthinking going on here.

Precisely what message boards are for in the off season. Oh, did you notice how wonderful our recruiting class is? I wonder who's going to commit next?
