Tennessee basketball players arrested - Tyler, Goins, Cam, and Bryan

Agreed there's probably more responsibility for his own players, but those incidents happened under Pearl's watch so I think it's fair game to include them in the discussion.

Eh, Hendrix and Wingate both were going to get caught regardless of who the coach was. They were too blatant in what they were doing

Being a Vol fan is nothing short of frustrating.

You're going to take heat for a couple of the things you said, but I know everybody was thinking it.

+1

I wasn't thinking it. Don't group me in with him and you. For the most part, that was an ignorant post. The gem was ".....". I'm paraphrasing, of course. I'm glad you agree with him on that though, because I sure as hell don't.

Well look on the bright side, maybe we can get Glock or Smith & Wesson to sponsor UT athletics.

Or Daisy

"I'm not a racist, I've had three black people at my house"

How many Hispanic/Slovic/Nigerian people have you had? That's what I thought.

Nit nit nit here we come and we are packing unlawful firearms and we gonna be smokin!!!!!!!

Hardly, nor do I want to be compared to that fat load.

This is a problem though guys and sadly, it seems to be more of a cultural issue. Am I wrong? Did I say something incorrect? Maybe I'm just tired of seeing too many of todays black athletes constantly behaving this way. It really is depressing.

It has nothing to do with race, I see as many White athletes spoiled and careless as Black. But there is going to be a higher chance of Black incidents occurring because if you haven't noticed 99% of NBA and College Basketball players are Black.

 

[PPPpartsp3]

I definitely think this incident is the beginning of the end of the Pearl era.

You made some good points but there is still alot of questionable content in your post.

I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. I may have let my anger seep into the post a bit too much, but sometimes frustrations down there in Knoxville affect me a bit too much. Sorry.

What's a Slovic?

 

[hmhawk]

a Class ? Felony. Sounds bad.

I couldn't remember the number. I believe it's either 5(V) or 10(X).

All the more reason for them to want to keep their nose clean and to the grindstone, to excel, become examples, and be productive. Right now, these four aren't on the path to success, in any field.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I hate Black qbs because they always look to run first. I hate white bball players except the ones who understand their role to come in a meaningless game after outcome has been decided to shoot free throws. I am a selective sports racist.

I'm glad there weren't more seats in the car.

 

[volgolferarch]

I really think the charges will be dropped on at least 2 players. Maybe 3. Honestly, are you going to know about a handgun underneath your seat if you hop into a car with friends? I have a feeling (and hate to say it) that cameron will end up taking the fall here because it is his car (with the exception possibly of misdemeanor pot charges against either williams or goins.

LOL, perfect post.

 

[Florrible]

Are you seriously talking about Pearl turning in another program that is cheating and calling him a snitch. I guess you would call whoever turned in Enron or Madeoff a disgraceful snitch. The cheaters who offered the student the Suv and cash to play are the ones you should be mad at. I guess you are a Illinois fan huh?

No, I think he's a criminal lawyer, ironic, huh?

Of course, but blaming it on a race isn't the solution, and as you suggested culture is partially responsible for the current dilemma. But the problem is over played by those in the media, and for that part White Protestants. You may not have have intentionally meant it, but you sounded like a echo of Rush Limbaugh/Falwell/Dobson.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I think its Chris Loftons and dane Bradshaws fault. If they didnt graduate then this crap wouldnt happen. lol

If I'm any of the players, I am definitely telling the cops who's gun that is. Snitch or no snitch, you're not pinning a felony charge on me.

 

[bop_rocco]

This is just crazy and I'm not gonna defend these guys one bit. Bruce needs to clean this up. I don't know what's worse Bruce having players acting like this or Cal paying players off. But I can't get over how stupid kids are that have the opportunity they have. And if you want to party and get high or drunk stay the hell at your dorm or apt. The gun thing is what I don't understand, not that you have one but you should know not to have a numbers filed gun and have one in a car loaded with no carry prem also. Just stupid

I think they should be able to get prints off the gun or guns.

And I apologize if I came off that way, as I said, my anger might have gotten the better of me. Still, I wasn't trying to blame it on race, as much as I was the hip-hop culture and idolization/emulation, that occurs today. It just really pisses me off that these kids can't simply do their work, practice, play their games, and keep their noses clean. They get everything handed to them and they just crap all over that opportunity, in too many instances.
