Anybody?

This is why you wait to have all the facts before you presume guilt and pile on

You beat me to it!

True. But last year, Kentucky had the ball for 46 mins and 99 plays, and it still wasn't enough.

Also true. Our secondary needs all the help it can get this year. We're playing walk-ons and FR-- the more bodies ahead of them, the better.

 

[UTSuave’]

Man do I have some news for you

Save it Jimmy

 

[InVOLuntary]

Weird. Feel like this should’ve been submitted sooner if it were this cut and dry. Still some holes here. How did the kid end up falling down the stairs?

Probably trying to get the dude to drop the charges before they had to try this in the media. Guy doesn't cooperate, Mac get's his side out.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I guess what bugs me...if you go through due process at what point would ANYONE in their sane mind objectively think this deserved a felony assault charge?

I'm going out on a limp and assuming the drunk guy must have someone in the family with some bread. Gross negligence on the police involved in this one. Take the drunks statement, interview all the witnesses, then follow-up with everyone and interview again days later to see if any stories change or details get altered.

The fact JM got charged so quickly is extremely disappointing...even if he wasn't a Vol just seems like someone decided "guilty" from the beginning.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Ha!….someone with a badge will be jobless soon…what a complete f*** up on law enforcement behalf…could have costed someone their career.

Nah, he'll get promoted

 

[Aesius]

Funny how Trey Wallace broke this story. Dude started out essentially posing as a reporter by reposting message board stuff and eventually worked his way up to 34k Twitter followers and a senior reporter job at OutKick.

He literally faked it until he made it.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Yes, a stroke of genius.

Happens. Just like Halley’s Comet.

Freudian Slip?

He was also the one who started with the Pruitt stuff too.

Here's the new information submitted yesterday. Of note:

They are basically saying MuCollough did not chase after him and strike him down the hall. They are presenting more self-defense than what he was charged with.

The only person who said he fell down the stairs was the defendant. He also said he left immediately and was chased down the hall.

Heupel game face

 

[BigSteve09]

Anybody?

According to the motion, Spencer told police he’d been drinking that day and was holding a bottle of vodka while giving police his statement.

After Knoxville police arrived at the scene, McCollough did not answer any questions, choosing to give a statement to police a few days later.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Only reason he was charged is because he refused to talk to Law Enforcement.

Don't believe that. Other guy had broken teeth and Jaylen had a busted up hand. No way he wasn't getting arrested.

And most importantly, other guy called police. If Jaylen called police before he punched him he probably wouldn't have gotten arrested or charged

he was drunk?

 

[therickbol]

Anybody?

Welllll I'llllll be, you mean the man holding the Vodka bottle while being interviewed by police might not have told the complete truth!?!? I would have never guessed. The fact that he missed any games is beyond ridiculous.

 

[VolInDayton]

It's laughable this guy talked to police while drinking straight vodka from a bottle. Would McCullough miss a game if this was the Tuscaloosa, Athens, or even Columbus police department?

 

[drvenner]

You're telling me, if a genie came to you in June and offered you Tennessee going 8-4 with wins over Pitt, LSU, Florida, and Bama, you wouldn't take it with a smile?

I surely would. If said genie came to me on October 27th and offered the same, I would slap the **** outta him.

Law enforcement accountability???

The police acted based on one guy's unsubstantiated claims. Tank no commented and immediately retained counsel. UT swiftly investigated, reviewed the evidence, evaluated all sides of the story and felt the circumstances didn't warrant the charges filed. So Tank wasn't suspended by UT, allowing him to remain with the team while the student conduct process was completed.

He was cleared by the university, but will not play without admin approval. And while UT and counsel have been working to have the felony charge reduced or dismissed, that has been slow going. The legal hold up is not on UT's side, but the "unavailable to play" is.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Not speaking to the cops is the smartest decision he made that day. Let the lawyers do it for you ALWAYS.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Of course we can beat Georgia. Their defense might be a little better than Bama but their often isn’t nearly as good as Bama’s with Bryce Young healthy like Tennessee faced. It’s on the road but I’m expecting Tennessee to win that game and go 12-0 in the regular season.

Agree. TN would have beat Bama by 2-3 TD's without Bryce Young. Stetson Bennett isn't Bryce Young.

 

[drvenner]

Just lost a bet with myself. I figured it would be @Glitch to make a fart joke in reference to the natural gas commercials.

In your defense, it is very difficult to be more juvenile than @Glitch
