Is there something else going on?

"who ever is advising him isn't doing him any good. 2. He needs to grow up and his team mates would be cool with him"

"Tee made those remarks in regards to his personality. He is soft and a p**sy is what he said to me his sophmore year. Jalen thinks people owe him respect and walks around like he is greater than Peyton on campus."

"Tee made those remarks regarding hurds demeanor and personality. I stand by them"

"Kelly will now get to shine. In this situation it is next man up. Kelly is gonna be awesome."

As more and more comes out I have no choice but to give it some credence that Hurd was a problem on team 120. Just wonder why it took a bad loss for it all to come out.

Probably him not even breaking 20 yards rushing was the last straw. Hurt his pride too much and decided he was out.

The fact that he and most insiders are absent says a lot imo

Go to the TEE MARTIN thread and you'll see that VFL34 is far from absent and has made his feelings known.

EDIT: I see that I'm late to the party showing where VFL34 is speaking on the subject...

Same reason a bad loss gets all the crazy posters to come out here. Adversity brings out emotion.

Everybody's happy when you're winning.
Close loss to A&M, no big deal.
Getting a beat-down by Bama was draining.
Players are much less likely to put up with crap after that.
SC game was the result.

daughter is a SR at UTK and has said for the last couple of years that "nobody likes Jalen". She lives near Shy and Barnett and says they are the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.

Was on a Team once where the better players we had were on the bench while less talented players/more "connected" players in some key positions played. Was a terrible season and we all knew we had the better talent on the sidelines. Last game of the season the Coach stated we had quit on him. He was right. Was his decisions.

Just about any UT student would tell you this. When he's playing well and the team is winning, they tolerate him. But few people have liked him around campus. VFL34 stated that Jalen "walks around campus and thinks he's better than Peyton Manning."

No. I think fans/media are making a bigger deal out of this than it really is. From the sound of things, the team seems very unaffected and is going about their business today. Hurd was the problem. Got called out. And now he's gone.

Yeah.

This right here guys.
App State
Ohio
South Carolina were a lot better than we understood.

Hurd
Williams
Tee Higgins decomitting
North

It's all these guys fault.


We have nothing to worry about.

I never met one person who had anything had to say about Barnett. In fact, they went out of their way to praise him. Said he was nothing like his on field persona. Seems like a pretty stand up guy.

The ugly wins exactly defined who we are today as a staff and team. This was bound to happen. Folks kept waiting for the mistakes and coaching to improve. Neither have.

This is so true

I can just about tell you how we will start in the next few games

Slow and without purpose

he is very friendly and respectful - don't see that too often. My daughter said Barnett was helping Shy get in his car this morning. Shy is on crutches and trying to get around.
