See on post game interviews at UTsports. Tuttle’s comment was made to Hyams.

we could all see that from the play on the field this year...hopefully those that werent are gone next year.

 

[BeecherVol]

Not a difficult sell at all.

You feel bad for the guys that did. This roster wasnt good to begin with and people pulling the opposite direction make it very difficult

Pretty obvious.

if you follow the Crouch thread in the recruiting forum, you could tell some butch players werent in it by Crouch's comments on his visit.

 

[Cartervol]

My question would be.... Why did they stay and waste everyone's time?

I did not follow that...what were some of his comments? That’s very interesting.

All we can do is hope the new guys, and those left will buy in, and play hard.

Cafeteria food.

Before the season, it looked like Tennessee had a lot of momentum for Crouch. That all changed once the season began and Crouch got a good look at how much of a rebuilding process the Volunteers are going to have to go through. He has a lot of respect for coach Jeremy Pruitt and knows that he could turn him into a very good linebacker.

The other coaches have built strong relationships with Crouch, as well. The players and Crouch did not necessarily seem to mesh very well, and Crouch is looking for a team that is full of players that are focused just like him.

from Farrell on Crouch after his visit last week.

Their free education requires them to atleast go through the motions until its time for them to transfer.

Cafeteria food.

Correct. And the other benefits of being a scholarship athlete. Hard to believe, but they do exist.

I think cutting ties with coaches would be a huge mistake right now. Rather, it's clear from reading stuff like this and comments from players like Tuttle that the thing that really needs to be done is we need to "clean house" --- release these players that aren't buying in. It's tough to win in football when you only have 50% or 60% of your guys playing hard. You need 100%.

All those players need to go! Where is the great pumpkin on this. He’s supposed to save the Vols!

Hiding the last 2 weeks... not like him.

Triggered a memory... the school I attended had a separate food line for the scholarship athletes... all the good stuff, many options to choose. I would be so envious of them as I always seemed to be down to nickels and dimes and had to enjoy an order of fries for my lunch on campus.

Not hard to believe. We've had confirmation that Brandon Johnson didn't want to go to a crap bowl and just wants to go home

Where’s the confirmation? (Not being sarcastic) first I’ve heard of this.

He needs to stay home. Play for Kiffin.

Oh ok, is this on Twitter? Or....?

Never mind I’m losing my mind......
