At least in 48 hours it'll go from Boo and worried about DUI's to hoping you don't hear the news so and so is in a boot and so and so has a torn bicep and isn't going to be back tell game 6.

about right

 

[CAVPUT]

Safeties going into their sophomore year with only one sack and one pick shouldn't be acting like punks. Just my two cents worth.

 

[derekg_05]

Let him rot on the bench. He can't play anywhere else this season. Nobody is above the T!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Are Tennessee fans concerned about Boo's well being or stressing over losing a guy in Secondary?

Yes

Both me for. I don't want to lose a good player and I also want nothing but the best for him so long as he keeps his head on straight, finds a path back to the team and represents the program with pride. If leaving is his desire--then I don't wish anything bad to happen to him, but I also won't lose sleep over it and I'll support the next man up.

So I've been keeping up with some of this craziness. The thing that gets me (if any of this is true) about missing practices, showing up late to meetings, etc. Is the hypocrisy of having a culture. Josh always talks about culture and if Boo was a 3 star or less he'd already been kicked off the team. He's a good player so everyone lets him get by with this crap (again if true) Same with Nico it seems the players are dictating what happens not the coaches. They're getting chance after chance to do what's right and still don't. The other players see this crap and it destroys moral and the concept of a team. Plus the coaches look weak and like liars. They're saying Boo could withdraw from UT as a student and go anywhere he wants as a walk on (Colorado) wink wink. The transfer portal means nothing if this happens. Collective bargaining is the only way.

If they were going to do that, I suspect they would have done it by now especially after Nico. I'm betting Heupel takes him back and tries to smooth things over with the media and fans. Players won't be fooled tho. You can count on that.

If Boo was a 3 star or less he'd already been kicked off the team. Hypocrisy at its finest

You know this how?

It's always easy for idiots to throw around the big, harsh words without any actual information.

I have a friend who coached at Alabama and in the NFL. He said its hard to coach some players who make more money than their coaches. He had a big family and some of the players ragged him for driving a van while they drove flashy cars.

A lot of this post sounds like my life. Mama tried.

I think the important thing at this juncture is “They’re saying”

VFL Bubba Miller tells the story when he started with Philadelphia his OL coach told him “there’s two sets of rules. The sooner you figure out which set apply to you, the better off you’ll be”.

Also for years Jackie Gleason had the #1 tv show with CBS. Gleason treated everyone at CBS like but they took it cause he was pulling the top numbers. Then he dropped to like #5 & they said “enough of this” & fired him.

There comes a time for everybody.

I think the important thing at this juncture is “They’re saying”

The important thing is: press reports are attacking a Vol's attendance and participation and Coach Heupel has let it go on for about 2 weeks without defending him in the press.

If there were reports that Kitselman was missing in action for 2 weeks, I think Heupel would've defended him because it's not true.

Heupel takes care of guys when it comes to the media bashing them incorrectly. He lets the team council speak to the press, I think.

No one from the team has come to Boo's defense.

When it comes to the application of character, I will go with CJH and DW over anybody with just screen and radio access to the facts. It is possible that the program will be better off without some players and lots of “FANS”. You don’t have to be a tree killer or teabagger to be a net negative for the program, and the every program has them defense does not mitigate the realities of providing fodder for our enemies to share with the world.

The negative from this is in the TEAM actions, not the fans. The negative recruiting is in: you see what Heupel had happen with Nico, then Carter. It's a zoo in the locker room there. There's no unity. Nobody takes care of each other.

C'mon. "The fans are jerks." If that were a negative Ohio State wouldn't win another game.

No one would have been kicked off for missing non mandatory workouts or meetings.

The issue is that showing up to these things is expected, especially from starters and especially from someone rewarded with a large NIL contract. It's sort of a "If you care, you'll be there" sort of thing. And obviously it looks like you don't care when you don't show up. Then reportedly not having contact and out in CA.


We'll see if he shows up today.

They are actually handling it and it’s a testament to the culture where the leadership council which is the players are policing it. That’s a very positive culture thing.

 

[hUTch2002]

Winston Churchill once said "That which must be done eventually should be done immediately." Wise man.

Doesn't need to be front page news, but it's time for CJH and Boo to have a sit-down. One question: "Are you in or are you out?"

And then do what must be done.

Never that simple in reality, but that's the right answer. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Did Churchill say that? I know Kissinger said something similar and Churchill certainly has plenty of good sayings, I just didn’t know that was among them. It’s certainly true.

 

[hUTch2002]

I can tell you’ve never played organized sports considering how easily you are excusing Boo’s behavior for missing workouts while the rest of the team is busting their ass and showing up and doing what is expected of them. Quit making excuses for someone who is likely making more money annually than a significant portion of this fanbase and who is failing to live up to his promises.

This is where a player council is smart. If they can accept a kid back then ok. If they can’t then the kid can’t come back. Having leadership from within is crucial on any kind of team.

 

[hUTch2002]

Practically, I don't know Boo Carter personally so my concern for his personal well being is on a par with the guy I passed on I-40 yesterday who seemed to be struggling emotionally from my quick glance into his vehicle.

My real input into Boo's life and well being is essentially zero.

Now, my real input into the Vols secondary is.....I got nothing.

We're on a message board, man. It's like old men sitting around the local Hardee's over coffee. We're loud in our room but a mosquito fart in the big scheme of things.

Coldly, who cares about our concern? What kind of question is that?

That is hilarious! I don’t get why people take things on the road so personally but that cracked me up.

 

[DaddyChad]

Not impressed with Kitselman

No one cares especially him.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

That is hilarious! I don’t get why people take things on the road so personally but that cracked me up.

It's a personal thing I learned during a period of personal crisis and feeling useless in my faith. A counselor suggested I look at people, random people, and try to see if I could "punch one through the clouds" for them based on what my heart told me.

Sometimes you see joy and ask that it continue.
Sometimes you see pain and ask that it be lifted.
It ain't much but I can do that.

You don’t have any clue what’s going on.

Again if Boo is back with this team it would be bc the team takes him back. Culture is accountability for mistakes not cutting a kid for making mistakes. Ultimately though when a kid has alienated himself it’s on the team to say if he’s back or not. 18-19yo kids screw up all the time, if you cut all of them for mistakes you won’t have a roster. At the same time you can send a message that this bs won’t be tolerated.
