i'm against how the KNS and media handled this whole situation.

but...it's not their fault.....whatever banks did, banks did....not the media.

again, i don't think the media handled this right at all and have been relatively vocal about it......but let's not get it twisted.

Media darling Scott Frost has a running back that is facing child pornography charges stemming from a revenge porn incident. As far as I can tell that guy has not missed a game. I have not seen any outrage over it by the media either.

Obviously Banks did some dumb things, but there is a concentrated effort to smear Tennessee by the media.

It's a tool. Ultimately it is us who can leverage it against our own worst impulses or not. Like drugs, we can choose to be consumed or not.

It is only extrinsically negative. It's not evil in itself, just an avenue for us expressing the negatives already in us.

Just try to stomach reading YouTube comments, they are terrible. Those are merely human thoughts, once given anonymity. Only ourselves to blame.

It has happened and seems like it will continue to, even if Banks was dismissed for other reasons you cant say the tape helped matters.

no, it didn't....and i won't tell you that..... like i said, i don't think the KNS handled this right at all.....have said that from the beginning.

and i dont think he's being dismissed from the team because of that video or the ticket or failure to appear in court.

whatever new info came to light must be really bad......and at the end of the day.....that's what got him where he is.....

i think it's fairly important to at least acknowledge that right now, the only thing we know is what we've been shown.

i don't think he's getting dismissed from the team because of what we arleady know to be true. if that was going to be the case, it likely would have happened before the friday before the GA game, after you've spent a few days talking about how it's been handled in house and we're moving on.

he did something else....that we don't know about yet, and it was bad enough that it warranted this outcome.....imo.

Honestly though, just hear me out on that.

The media frequent the mobile patrol app and the kpd inmate page. There’s no way he would be able to cover up a assault, specifically one on a women. But, it does take time to process a inmate. But I’m not disagreeing I’m just saying.

i agree.

and if the NE running back child porn thing has videos released on TMZ, i'm sure it will end badly for him too.

Honest question: Would our rebuild be quicker if we just shut it down for this year and next year and started back up in 2021? I know it's not possible. But sh!t, at least we'd be out of the news for a while and wouldn't get our f@#$in' teeth kicked in 7-9 times per year.

If y'all need me, I'll be looking for a pile of dog crap to go step in.

Don’t forget about freshman LB Bill Norton at UGA. He had a DUI and there’s been zero follow up on it. Crickets

well you know as much as i do......i'm just speculating. i just don't see them reacting like this, today, to something that's been out for what seems like an eternity these days.

something else happened/came up, and it's probably pretty bad, and they probably had no real choice but to act as they did.

we can argue about the media role in that, and some of it i will agree with. but when you get right down to it, whatever he did....he did.....decision/choices he made. not the media or anyone else......that's all i'm getting at.

the more folks rail on the media, the more it sounds like there'd be a preference to cover stuff up, and if he did do something violent or whatever (speculation for lack of other information) it'd be far worse to find out about an effort to conceal that information than it is to cut bait now.......

a lot of the reaction here is simply because we don't know the cause of the reaction.....if it's really really bad, no one is going to have a problem with it. if it comes out it is just a reaction to the blow back from the release of the video, then yeah, i'm piling on the media too.

just don't think that's the real issue here, if it's THAT bad...........he probably would need to be dismissed from the team.

Wouldn’t it be better to just have the mindset that it’s already shut down and we’re just now starting it back up. That’s the way I look at.

Hey for the record, whose FOIA request was it?
I guessed it was WBIR since they posted the footage (I thought). Was it KNS?

Lineman have been known to go to the second level to block. No way Warrior could be affective as an ILB.

The suggestion Isn’t about warrior being very good there it’s a combination of things.

Would warrior be better than JJ or Page?

Are we really losing much in the back end?


What do we gain in the future by playing a young guy at safety?


Those answers are why I suggest playing warrior at ILb

I agree with you.

However, TMZ just tweeted a article with no new info🤔.
