Gerald Jones Coming On Dave Hooker

The simplest explanation is almost always the best. Apparently the final witness Taylor called in building his case for why Gabe Wright should pick Auburn over Tennessee.....was a player who just finished his career at Tennessee. That's simply not a conversation Taylor facilitates if he wasn't pretty sure how it was likely to go. The only question is whether Taylor actually prearranged it with Jones, or whether he just knew that Jones was disgruntled about Tennessee and has a big mouth.

I am sure TT and Gerald were keeping in touch-----and Taylor decided to use GJ against us with Gabe. USE is the key word here. TT is a WPOS imo, and a below average coach. The "Great recruiter" moniker is a result of Troop being Mr Money Bags. Someday.

this morning to work on NFL prep in Charlotte. I wonder if there were any Vol fans that went to the airport to wish him a nice flight?:birgits_giggle:

Can't wait until he is not drafted so he can blame all the NFL owners and coaches of being racist and trying to keep him down.

I nominate this thread as having the most unfortunate title in the history of the interwebz.

Gj should have went to okla state with tt when he left if he's so tight with him. At least there he would have been able to come back to alumni functions which in my opinion will not be the case at UT. That's always been his problem he opens his mouth before he thinks about the consequences. This was a HUGE long term mistake on his part.

If Gabe Wright wanted to be a Vol, HE"D BE A VOL. He didn't choose to go to Auburn because of a conversation with Gerald Jones.

I think you guys are missing the point. It doesn't matter whether GW went to AU or not. The point is, if GJ assisted TT in any way, in turning a player away from UT. He is a traitor. There is no justification for most of us. If TT had wanted GJ to give him a good reference to say Crowell or some other player who was not seriously considering UT, then I don't have a problem with it.

Actually you don't know how the conversation went. And there are some things you feel comfortable asking your friend about you'd never even mentioned to your parents, let alone a coach. Two months ago I saw a kid do something that put another kid in serious (as in fatal) danger. I also know the parents blindly reject any comments about the kid's misbehavior which I (and others) have seen often. They can get downright belligerent if you saying anything. I don't feel comfortable trying to tell them what I saw. But that other kid might not survive a repeat performance. So I pulled a friend who knows the family aside and advised them of the situation. This got the other kid out of danger (I hope) by impeding future contact between them. I just didn't feel comfortable talking to the parents of the offending kid based on experiences and observations. If I was a recruit who wanted some PERSONAL advice, I wouldn't ask a coach who would be fixated on his own program needs. No sire, I'd look to a FRIEND for that. I know you refuse to understand such a concept based on statements you made above so I don't expect you to take it seriously.

Why didn't you just say that in the first place! And you didn't need the pic. I can understand you now! Brain doesn't either from this explanation.

Lol you guys are right, GJ has worn the Orange & White for us for 4 years just so he could turn his back on us now and recruit for Auburn. You ppl are ridiculous. I hope current players don't see how trashy a lot of fans are on here and just throw one of their own under the bus. Y'all have done more negative recruiting for us than GJ could ever do.

Here's my problem with your post, you see things only from your POV. Take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. Does racism still exist? Absolutely. There are definately people out there who treat others differently based on the color of their skin. What you fail to address is that there are people from ALL races that judge others on the color of their skin.

Just as there are caucasians that hate anyone of another color, there are also black people who hate anyone of another color. IF, we're going to address the race issue(which I know isn't really appropriate here, but I had to speak my opinion), then let's do it fairly. The acts of some do not reflect the acts of all. I am caucasian(since that's the term you seem to prefer), and my cousin was shot and killed by a black youth for a measly fifty bucks. Does that mean I should blame anyone that's black? No, I blame the kid who did it. I don't care what color his skin was, it was HIS act.

Racism does still exist, but not all caucasians are racist. I've met black people who hated me for being caucasian, but not for one second do I believe all black people are racist towards caucasians. Ignore the ignorant and judge people on their actions, not on the color of their skin. Whenever the arguement is made "you don't know what it's like", I always think, I don't know what it's like to be you, but then again, you don't know what it's like to be me either.

I'm not trying to bash, but you seem to point the finger at all caucasians. Maybe that isn't your intent, but it is how it came across to me. I understand your passion about the "race card" because there are certainly times racism is a factor, but too many use the race card when race is not the issue. How does race really reflect the GJ story? I don't see where it does. I see nothing where he was discriminated against for the color of his skin. His actions are HIS actions. If he did what he is accused of, then, to me, it doesn't matter what color his skin is. He should NEVER have talked to GW on behalf of TT, no matter their personal friendship. He screwed up. I don't care what was said or not said, the conversation should not have happenned. It should have been like this, "Hello. Who is this? You're being recruited by UT and AU? I'm sorry, I don't really think it's appropriate that we have this conversation, but I hope you make the choice that is best for you. Good luck." End of story. But that's just my two cents. :hi:

I act completely normal. I might laugh a bit more though. I can't stand this loser for giving stoners a worse rap than they had to begin with. I'm sure he smokes that imitation crap they sell at convenience stores.

There may be lots of stuff most folks know little about or care. I 'm no wiser than any of you and probably a lot more UT campus ignorant than most of you. I have seen enough to know that Blacks and Caucasians don't experience the USA the same way. I use "Caucasian" because there's no such a thing as a white person, except maybe an extreme albino which biologically speaking is a mutant. I was a GoVolsextra participant but left the forum in disgust. When the players involved in the bar brawl, which was dumb of them in my book, I saw comments in GoVolsextra that showed very clearly the racism that simmered just beneath the surface of too many Caucasian faithful. I was taught you are known by the company you keep so advised the KNS to make sure my email address can't even be used to attempt to rejoin the forum. They assured me my request was honored and a test after months of being off showed that indeed I can't login or get a new profile or anything.

So? It shows that if you don't live in a Black skin you don't really know or see what life in that skin is really like on various levels. I've watched, sometimes close up conduct, looks, and words in a variety of settings from restaurants to someone just sitting and reading a book at an airport resulted in harassment. So its no great leap for me to see why Gerald Jones or another Black player to claim unfairness on some level or another. Hopefully one day species homo sapiens sapiens will figure out we all bleed red when cut and have the same basic DNA matrix species-wide. Much to the chagrin of the CIA and their old Apartheid counterparts in South Africa. In the mid-1970's they sought a biological means to eradicate Blacks but gave it up as humans are too genetically alike and such a weapon would wipe everybody out. So GJ probably just told the flat out truth when asked about certain things pertaining to his program experiences. For one of our own to recruit for another school, any other school leaves a BAD taste in my mouth. But I and none of you are in any real position to judge the guy. Oh yeah, black people actually do exist.

"I got a call a week or so ago from a kid," Jones said. "I don't know who gave him my number, but I didn't talk down about anyone. I actually gave several positives about Tennessee like coach Baggitt. I just told the truth about what I know about Tennessee and Troop. At the end of the day that kid made the decision was best for him. Anyone that wants to criticize me about a rumor needs to look themselves in the mirror. I know what I said and it was all positive."

Why does GJ think that it is his responsibility to recruit for TT? He can't be as stupid as he is letting on.

It sounds like Jones chose the University of Trooper in Tennessee and encouraged (even though he is too stupid to understand it) GW to chose the University of Trooper in Auburn.

Where in the hell does he think the kid got his number?
