G Jones Cut

#27
#27
The guy didn't recruit for Auburn, don't be a bunch of tool bags.

He said that the man that whom recruited him and built a relationship with him was a good guy. Say what you want about Trooper, but all Jones did was say his thoughts about a guy he liked. Maybe I missed the part where he said "Hey Gabe, don't go to Tennessee, they suck, Dooley sucks, and Troop's gawt swag."

Grow up, he was and is a Vol.

I don't give a damn how "noble" or "strong" he was during the coaching changes. He was playing college football at Tennessee while getting a free education. It's not like he was one of the Unknown Soldiers or something. He was a marginal receiver on some bad teams. He probably never left because he knew attrition would keep him on the field unlike at some other programs. He turned his back and "recruited" for Auburn, let him go stand tal
l and proud and get a job on their staff or
hell maybe he can suit up for them
considering they don't have to adhere to the rules anway. With that said.....GO VOLS

Wow really! This kid was high on Trooper not Auburn. A recruit ask him a question and he answered it, that is all. It wasn't like he was in the UT locker room with an Auburn shirt on screaming war eagle. It's funny how grown men can hold such a huge grudge over a kid they don't even know. Go Vols!

Ignoring the whole Wright fiasco, there was also the problem of getting pulled over with weed and a visiting recruit in the car. He played hard on the field, but let's not make him out as more than he was, a young man in college who made some dumb choices.

I feel ya. Wes was GOING OFF the other night when G Jones caught those TD's, about how basically he was right about Jones, and everyone else was wrong. Pretty sure he stopped just short of tweeting "I told you so." It's only a matter of time before he gets the soapbox back out to justify this cut.

If Wes Rucker had a clue about what he was talking about, especially with Eagles football, he would know it was a 1/100 chance Jones would make this roster.

Curious what your opinion of Lane Kiffin is?

No G-Gun for Philly fans. We could use another receiver in KC. Doesn't look like 1st round pick WR jonathon Baldwin (Pitt) will play this year.

Trooper knowingly put him in a bad position. The notion he "cares" about his former players is a joke. Gerald was unfortunate enough to step in a pile of dog crap because he trusted a man who didn't deserve it. Troop knew how this would make GJ look to Vol fans, he just didn't care. Pathetic excuse for a man.

No grudge, lol. Just don't like him. Also, I'm like 6 years older than him. It's not like he's a child and I'm 60 years old telling him to get off my lawn.

Every member on this board knows Trooper is scum. Karma needs to come his way very soon.

So I take it by this your are asking if I hate Lane Kiffin or cringe when his name
Is brought up? No I don't actually. Lane left and I will admit I was irritated at first but I moved on just like UT did. This whole thing sparked because G Jones was brought up. Jones was a solid player for UT everyone was singing his praises ( you were for most likely on of them) for helping on third and being a leader and once he told a kid that he loved Trooper everyone jumped ship on him and started bashing him.

Then I retract my opinion of you, but I still have lost a ton of respect for GJ. I appreciate all his contributions and hard work to this program, but there are some things you shouldnt do, and, IMO thats one of them.

Anyone that stood tall and strong like Jones did during those last three turbulent years he was here, gets full respect from me. I don't care at all about some insignificant comment that none of us were in the room to hear the context. We all say silly things that we wish we could have back.

He was a loyal, hard worker, full of optimism coaching change after coaching change. The only problem he suffered from was the excessive hype that one poster from his hometown brought to this board.
