I love Maryville. IMO, there isn't a better town in Tennessee. (Not that I've lived in a whole bunch of different towns. Just my 2 cents.)

You need travel more. Maryville is not a bad town but best town in Tennessee is a pretty big stretch.

Oh well. Sounds like Aaron didn't want to play bad enough for UT after all. Sounds like he might have wussed out. Might not be the reason, but what else could it be. Apparently Dooley was supporting him and giving him time, so if he wants to go, let him go. He can go join the MOCS like B.J. and the others.

I agree with previous posts. This sucks. I would like to cuss him, but he is a "kid". Good riddance. I hope he finds what he is looking for and best of luck, blah, blah, blah.

Ok so I caught wind of this a couple of months ago, but I didn't want to say anything too prematurely because our great posters on here would have ate me alive! Here's what I heard back then: Aaron Douglas does not want to play offensive tackle, he wanted to play another position, possibly TE?!? This is straight from a friend who works with the athletic dept. who asked him what was going on when he was feeling down. He likes UT & has no problem with Coach Dooley, it is just that he flat out doesn't want to play a position that we desperately need him to play! My friend said he clearly stated he wanted to transfer out during that conversation.

....Take it for what it's worth. Just relaying info from an pretty credible source.

Something they stress in "rehab" is, one of the most important relapse prevention methods is to change your Playmates, playthings and playgrounds. Maybe he is taking this advice seriously and is concerned more about his sobriety than TN football.

Whatever the reason is....I hope he stays clean.

losing BB was no big deal we got plenty of 5 star backs to take his place (not), now we get AD saying he wants a release to play elsewhere and it's no big deal. Both of these decisions coming on the heels of the great Dooley saying one there was no problem with BB that he knew of and that AD would miss a few practices but be back. Now we learn that they both want to leave and play elsewhere...huh all of this happening around a coach that said I am not here to recruit current players I am here to coach. Well let me inject right here that if this lightweight doesn't start recruiting our current players we will be facing the biggest losing season in Tn history. How the F@#$ can you Koolaide drinkers say no big deal? Its his program he can do what he wants? he needs to build his own program when every piece of evidence we have shows him seeming to not have a clue what is going on around him. This Mr. Dooley needs your immediate attention!

Don't know what it is like there in Huntsville, but there is not a good chance of Hispanics living in the same town pal. They do live in the same town. They represent more than 15% of the nations population so ... Certainly not limited to the South either. Just a census moment.

Offensive lineman Aaron Douglas leaving Tennessee - ESPN read this. It will help you actually understand the situation, instead of just spitting out your usual uninformed garbage.

There is a chance he is wanting to get released so he can go to rehab. I think football takes a back seat when your fighting a serious addiction to drugs. I think we should let this play out before burning any one at the stake.

You don't need a release for that do you?

Exactly... they have rehab in Knoxville, don't they?

One of the more common things stressed is, "There is no geographic cure for an addiction problem; because no matter where you go, the problem (you) will still be there". When they say to change your playgrounds and playmates, they're saying find new friends who don't use, and stay out of the bars, parties, and drug houses... not move to another city, state, etc... There are drugs and drug dealers (legal and illicit) in every city and state in this country, and they ain't hard to find if you're looking for them.

Are you serious?

BTW, there were 14 - 15 players that left the program or got kicked off the team when Lame was here.

We have some whiny *****es for fans, oh the sky is falling we've lost two players during a coaching change. Some of you are pathetic, and this board is getting more and more unbearable because of you.
