His iPhone app just popped up on my Facebook newsfeed page. It's called "Foster's Fitness". Has anyone downloaded it? I was a huge Foster fan when he was at Tennessee so I'm interested in getting it. I still play some competitive sports so it may be worth it. Anyone check it out? It says you can race him with the app lol how is that possible.

For those of you who keep asking, here's a link to the app. You can obviously find it right through your iPhone!

He didn't suck nor was he very prone to fumble. He was just occasionally prone to fumble at the worst possible time.

you weren't a fan of his at Tennessee? Did you cheer against him? Are you only a fan of good players? How can you be a fan of this team in general? We suck. TIA

If he came out with this while at UT you would beat him because he would have to stop and pick up his phone. I hope he has insurance on it. Glad to see he has gotten better.

Had to have been the SLOWEST back we've had in a long time and definitely was the slowest in the SEC during his time. And don't get me started on the fumbles... I will say he lost about 15-20 pounds since he left UT and is faster now because of it so I commend him on that. But yeah I was pretty glad to see him go.

Yeah, thank god he's gone and Tauren Poole was the big man in the backfield this year.

You're a genius.

No, I didn't cheer against him, but I said "Uh-oh" A LOT near the goal line. I thought Hardesty ran harder and didn't dance around as much.

Look at it this way, did you have more confidence in Simms or Bray? According to your last question, if you're a UT fan, there is no answer as both play for UT. Most logical fans would say Bray.

Then one or both of two things happened here:

A.) You clearly didn't pay attention to the entirety of his career.

B.) You're one of those people who only remembers ill-timed and costly fumbles (and yes, he had more than his own fair share, I'll admit).

But overall, AF was a great RB for us.

If the game was on the line...or it was time wo swing momentum A(nother) F(umble)...I mean Arian Foster was sure to deliver.

First, thank you for the compliment! Second, I never said anything about Poole but I will say this Poole is faster than Foster was in college. Poole's problem was he would fall with nobody around him or dance around and get tackled. Now he didn't really have SEC speed either but he was definitely faster than Foster. And third, don't give me the 2nd all time leading rusher in UT history crap. He's probably the only one in the top 10 that had 4 years to play meaningful time. Most of the guys only got to start for 2 years or less. I would say he has tons more carries than Travis Henry or James Stewart. And no obviously I didn't pull against him but I certainly wanted Hardestly to get the majority of the reps.

Someone please pull up his fumble #s. And his carry/fumble ratio. It's low - but some people are too ignorant and think he fumbled all the time because every single one of his fumbles seemed to come at a very bad time.

Then you must have seen very few games when he played, and the few you saw, he didn't do well.

Foster was a good back at UT

He had a good Fr. and Jr. year. Soph and Sr. were nothing to write home about. For my taste he went side to side too much and somehow seemingly managed to run out of bounds every time he touched the ball. When UT was backed against it's own goal, it was Hardesty that got the nod because of this.

Look at Foster now compared to when he was at UT. He's much leaner and faster. He's still a load, can catch the ball, and has learned to hang on to it.
