I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

the DC said that Tate has been saying that for months now 182. It is not a private thing.

Maybe Golden didn't come simply the way we recruited him. That is why Chris Jordan chose Alabama over us.

Who cares if he is unhappy. He chose Notre Shame, and the great pumpkin. Let him deal with it.

I doubt that's what it was. I remember something like he hated Tennessee fans or something. I don't really remember that. Do you really want a guy that pulled for Vandy over us anyways?

In all honesty....Golden is a great talent that should have gone to a smaller school where he could have DOMINATED for 4 years. TSU, Tech, D1 like a Memphis would have been a great fit! He has the game and the speed, but his size hurts him. Great stats at at mid-major or 1AA would have been huge for him!! Come home Golden!

Why do we want a player that didn't want to come here in the first place?

Golden Tate is talented enough to play at Notre Dame, he does not belong at a mid-major or 1AA.

Whoa!

"Come home Golden" means Nashville not Knoxville! I said UT does not need him.

lol, are you serious?

Tate did not want anything to do with UT from the start and made it clear so UT didnt even bother.

Chris Jordan was recruited but we never had a chance because he didnt plan on staying here to begin with. He was a transfer student from GA anyway.

plus we wanted Jordan as a LB and he was deadset on being a RB.

Come on.....How many guys are at UT, that ride the pine and don't make a huge difference. They have BIG TIME Talent, but get in a situation or school where they don't make an impact. There are ALOT of 1AA players that have BCS talent, some D2 that have the talent. They just did what was best for them! That is my point.

Points like you just made show me and everyone that you don't look at the whole picture. EVERY 3* or higher player should go to the BIGGEST school possible. Right??? Wrong.....it should be based on many factors. Look at the NFL rosters and see how many greats are from "small" schools. Better opportunities lead to better results!

Jim Bob Cooter could have been a STUD at APSU or Tech. Think about it!
