Josh Briscoe's question to Mike Hamilton...

Briskett needs to worry more about trying to run forward after a catch and getting a first down than running backwards to make it 4th down, than about money...LOL

What!? The football program pays for itself and more. Trust me, you are not footing the bill for Briscoe. The players are loyal to the coach who recruited them here and acted as a father figure to them. It makes a lot more sense to be loyal to Fulmer than an institution that is a business.

He said "and the fans that are paying thir way through school". You do realize it's the fans and boosters that pay the way for the athletics programs don't you?

You have to realize that in the entire time Briscoe has been at UT, he has had the "it's us against them" mentality. I'm getting the feeling that attitude did nothing but alienate the team from the University and it's fans, the media, etc... and a good escape path when sub-par play and execution on the field gets a loss. Sure, why not... blame the fans.

That's the problem with this program now and Fulmer has set the tone.

If I'm Hamilton, that happens today. He can finish school on scholly, but he wouldn't put my uniform back on.

He and Stan Drayton would be on the same bus out of town if Hamilton wanted to send the right message.

Anyone who wanted to know what kind of "life lessons" Fulmer really teaches just needed to watch his players acting like 8 year olds who didn't get the Snickers bar they wanted on Halloween.

As painful as it would be, I fully endorse the new coach coming in and doing what Tom Crean did at IU. Show each and every miscreant, crybaby, and bitcher the door. Sometimes the best thing is to burn down the mission.

agreed. Kevin O did it to some degree with the basketball program and I loved it.

I don't know how a new guy instills the punch people in the face mentality that Saban has instilled very quickly at Alabama, but that's what it takes in football.

Kevin O'Neill-Cortez, do 20 pushups.
Cortez Barnes-I don't do pushups, Coach.
KO-That's fine. You now don't play here anymore.

that's the approach that Fulmer's type is afraid to take. He would much rather pander to a kid than teach him a worthwhile life lesson.

Bill Walton (with shaggy hair and a scruffy beard): Sorry coach, times have changed and you'll need to recognize that.
John Wooden: That's okay Bill, I do respect your right to look like a hippie. We're really going to miss you on the court this year.
Bill Walton: ..........how late is the barbershop open?

Agreed...
Do you think the players will continue this lash out during the next 3 games.. 2 of which are on tv..
Isn't it against the rules to have things written on their helmets and jersey's

I agree. When Fulmer wasn't winning, Fulmer supporters always went to the character issue. Well we all got to see how that played out yesterday. You can try to defend them by saying, oh well they are just kids. That's may be ture, but where is the coach that is supposed to be setting an example and keeping them in line. Fulmer was missing in action again.

i'm nto going to attack briscoe personally, but his actions the last few weeks have suggested that he likes attention and being in the spot light. i'm sure he's expecting an interview from someone about what's going on.

if berry was doing this, or mccoy, or ayers, or dmo. someone influential from our defense. then i would take the question and the player's feelings into account. but briscoe's attitude about all of this almost seems hollow, honestly.

Fulmer needs to sit down with these kids and let them know we are still a family at Tennessee. Whether Fulmer believes it or not, he needs to let these kids know that the future will bring hope and promise. The players should want to give there all for Tennessee regardless of if they feel betrayed.

The last person the AD should have to answer to is a guy who became ineligible by failing bowling.

Man, Kevin Oneil was awesome to watch. Seeing him at a practice before the SEC tournament was great.

Who cares if you are with the majority. The majority are generally ignorant in matters such as this one.

I am fairly confident you haven't competed in sports at a four year university or you wouldn't be making the comment. And trying to equate professional competition to collegiate sports competition is absurd.

You know what happens when the coach listens to the majority of the fans??? He becomes one of them mighty quickly

Since you seem to have such a keen sense of what it IS like to play four years at a University such as Tennessee, perhaps you should shed some light on the matter instead of continuously trying to enter a battle of wits with a very dim guide.

Furthermore, what does my and the rest of the "generally ignorant" opinions on an immature student athlete popping off with his mouth, yet again, have anything to do with playing four years of sports at Tennessee?

I'm not really capable of finding the connection...probably because there isn't one. You either know better or you don't in this type of situation. Briscoe clearly doesn't know better and doesn't care. He's made that abundantly clear on more than one occasion. That you cannot argue with.

You're the one that seems to have the "generally ignorant" take on this so perhaps you should just agree to disagree and move on.
