I can't start a thread so I will ask in here. I live in Kingsport and I hear some news about the program through friends and family of

Swafford and Foreman. This seems to be the first bit of bad news from them but just trying to figure out if it's true, Rumor has it up

here that Swafford will no longer play football for UT, the person said he was kneed in the top of his helmet during the Bowl game and

now has to have surgery(Neck injury). I was also told that bUTch is going to let him keep his scholarship and finish school. Real bummer if this is

true, I have watched him play since pee wee and always thought he was special. It would be cool if bUTch let him finish school though

Just wondering if any of this is true.

Medical scholarship is probably coming, if true.

I listen to and read as much Vol football related stuff as I can. Haven't heard anything about this.

swafford played in the spring game but was wearing a grey jersey. I just ran the tape back real quick on youtube. If something happened in the bowl game we would know about it by know. He went against Josh Smith in the WR/DB competition and won the rep.

To me it just seems like we would have heard an answer by now. The longer it drags out, the less hope I have. Stranger things have happened

Kind of how I feel. If he doesn't play, that's a huge hit to our WR corps because I feel he is our best one. Hopefully Malone, North, Croom and Williams can put it all together and play up to their potential.

From the bowl game, HomeGrown? Wow, that would be a long time (6+ months?) for a player injury to go unnoticed by VolNation. So it seems suspect.

Having said that, I'm clueless, no insider status at all.

You meant to mention something about Foreman as well?

Thanks for the comments guys that has just been a rumor from the talking heads in Kingsport, JP there's nothing about Foreman I just meant most people that are connected to one know a lot bout the other gotta love small town living.

if true, he would go on a medical scholarship and not count on the roster. free up an extra one for next class.

I know a friend of the family, in fact was talking with him today. He has never mentioned anything to me and I think he would have by now if something happening. Maybe he doesn't know yet but could definitely find out

Strangely, I didn't. Maybe it's because none of this is funny.

Humor has held my sanity partially intact through some terrible things.

The idea that someone who can 'have any girl he wants' would never commit rape is just stupid. No one can have whoever he wants, and someone that thinks he can is at least as likely to force themself on someone as someone who can't have any girl.

Is it safe to assume that Von probably won't be playing this year?

More than likely.

If nothing is announced beforehand(which is very likely given the extreme lack of information thus far), then you'll know by the first fall practice date. If Von isn't allowed to attend, he's done for the year.

if the info I got (and posted on here like a month ago) is accurate, Von has a stronger case against him in terms of the night of (than AJ), but that the girl left him a really damning message on his voicemail about having his career or life or something in her hands

Yeah, I remember you posting that. If that all turns out to be true she's winning thus far.
