Boo Carter officially off the team

[OrangeInKy]

Most rational people knew this would likely end up the way it did

 

[YankeeVol]

He'll end up at a G5 school of the FCS.

 

[volsfan24018]

Butthurt that he never got to play on offense.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Good luck to him in the future.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Big mistake for him. Wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft pole!

Poll. This is VN. Never forget.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Thoughts and prayers.

 

[vol94]

Well, he’s not our problem now and Heup and Co did everything to give Boo a chance to succeed.

As a father of 22 yr old twins, I hope Boo figures it out and matures. As a Vol fan, I’m disappointed and frustrated as I don’t think he gave 100% in at least two games - @ KY and Oklahoma (as punt returner).

 

[PC Jr.]

No surprise. He’s a cancer. I’m sure some coach who needs help bad enough will take the risk.

 

[McDad]

Adieu, Boo. Good luck to you.

 

[robcovol]

One less thing for me to worry about, not that I was worried about it in the first place. Sounds like another Pacman Jones to me.

 

[CAVPUT]

Good luck to him in the future.

Nah...he joins Nico on my hate watch list.

 

[McDad]

Nah...he joins Nico on my hate watch list.

You're choosing to hate young men with horrible parental influences. At some point we should hope they gain complete agency over themselves and make better choices / show better character than the parents.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Can someone explain to me what the big disconnect was from over the summer? Was he unhappy bc he wasn’t being showcased like the next Travis Hunter and wanted to shop himself so he didn’t show up? Was there stuff from last season that wouldn’t go away?

Such a waste.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Great talent. Even more of a headache. Should’ve been shown the door months ago.

 

[VolBricks]

I think the injury was between his ears.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Bye he hasn’t been on the team all year anyways

 

[ptcarter]

He's gonna make a coach happy that likes fair catches.

 

[Voltopia]

After an entire off-season of having to hear every talking head go on about Boo Carter this and Boo Carter that, Boo Carter taking snaps on offense, Boo Carter being a key component of Tennessee's season ...

 

[tennrich1]

I am all in favor of extending grace and second chances but CLEARLY this case was going to end like this. Stevie Wonder could see he wasn't giving 100% even when he did play. Always a moment of discouragement when you see someone (in this case barely an adult) make choices that will NEVER end well. Then we realize this is life and some folk's struggle. I come from a family of bad choices...but God gives us the mercy to "break the chain". I try daily to snap that chain...not always successful but He extends grace EVERY SINGLE TIME!.

 

[Zues1]

UCLA bound

 

[SubVet676]

he was sent home Thursday (guessing he did something he shouldn't have during the two weeks post Oklahoma game) and told to remain part of the team he needed to show up Saturday. He didn't show up and was dismissed today...

Appreciate the info. I've been around a lot longer than I've been a member...like to keep my internet footprint as small as possible...but been here long enough to know that if you post it, then it's gospel.

You can't save 'em all. Says a lot about his (lack of) character that he blamed it on an injury. If you're injured, you show up for rehab. But I do agree that he's injured. From the neck up.

Caveat Emptor. And some desperate program will.

 

[allstar34bd]

C-Ya

 

[wrangler]

It'll be interesting to see which coaches won't want to recruit him, and which think they can motivate him.

 

[Stacmot]

Somebody definitely wrote that for him lol

I was literally about to say the exact same thing!

 

[SubVet676]

Somebody definitely wrote that for him lol

Not Momma Boo. Grammar and punctuation are correct.
