Just when you think our players can't possibly be any DUMBER...

"besides we are playing VANDY this weekend. This is no big deal."
====================

You never know.
I think sometimes you have to take a step back to clear your head especially when the crap is sort of hitting the fan. Coming off a bad loss with all the negative press surrounding the program maybe it is a good thing for some of these players to get away for one night.

Tennessee Football, a senior leader, promoting a club party two days before the game with over 1700 people invited. DOES THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION PORTRAY AN OVERALL POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE IMAGE ON THE TENNESSEE FOOTBALL PROGRAM?
Maybe it portrays that our players actually know how to have a good time every once in a while. I bet ur the life of the social scene.
 
C'mon guys it's not like Dale Carter firing a gun from the roof of Gibbs Hall in the early 90's! Like many have said, it's college guys of legal age that want to throw a party - what's the big deal. I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened on the UT football team. I was at parties in the mid-nineties when St. Manning was there acting anything but Saint-like and he turned out O.K. In the day and age of social media these guys are scrutinized by obsessive fans more than ever. We gotta let college kids be just that and not get too emotional about it. If I were the OP I would go - sounds like it could be fun!
 
I've seen Rico out at parties during the season before and it's never hurt his performance. Not only that but he's not a wild crazy keg throwing rad ass. He's usually responsible and smooth.
 
OP, do you live in a monastery?:crazy:

If not, you might want to consider enjoying life a little while allowing others to do the same.
 
i see no big deal with it. i did MUCH worse when i was in college, and it's like many have said on here, they're human and not at our friggin' beck and call to act/behave how WE see fit. i worked as an athletic trainer during and after college and, i asssure you, as good a shape as these guys are in, and the genetics they've been blessed with-this party ain't gonna slow 'em down on saturday. let 'em have fun. especially considering those guys are seniors. i do agree with law though, i'd have a "football rep" (maybe an upper classman trainer or ga) at the party to make sure it doesn't get out of hand and no one drives home.
 
The guy that posted this event isn't Rico McCoy of Vladimir Richard. It's not like they are posting this information on Facebook themselves. Someone else did it. Don't blame Rico and Vlad.

im not on fb glad u told me bout this i will b attendin i remember a few months ago i went to copocabana when big zoe hosted a party some ut students got beat up but zoe bein an adult did not fight but did try to diffuse the situation and shut it down, now if two freshman were hostin it i might b a lil more concerned

Speak English much?
 
If they want to come here to party on weeknights, then don't play football. Sometimes getting the glory on the field requires a little bit of sacrifice and self control of other aspects in life.

if you would like to compete for championships then that kind of player you want is about the talent level we would have to compete in the Sunbelt Conference. If you want to compete for championships in the SEC, this staff is after the type talents it will take. In doing so, they will get some like the two who got dismissed this week. To compete in this conference there is risk invovled.

Living in fantasy land to view it any other way
 
They'll definitely have a better turnout now that Volnation is invited. Thanks govols90120.

Its their last home game so let them have their fun. They probably dont have class to attend on friday anyway. Thanks for bein Vols Rico and Vlad
 
i realize the timing of this makes it look bad, but vlad and rico are both of age. there is nothing wrong with this. but you decided to post this all over VN and get it exposure that it probably wouldnt have gotten. Do you work for ESPN?

That is an interesting thought. :question: You could be right.

It must have been his twin. Neither he nor Eric Berry have ever touched alcohol while at UT, never been out past midnight, never eaten krystal or waffle house, never gotten a speeding ticket, and both are still virgins...
 
wtf who cares,those parties are harmless.Half the time they arent even piss poor drunk if they are even drinkin at all.. and most of them are just there to dance with some females,and flirt.Seriously,get a life.They have been doing this for years,Thursday is when college students party because most dont have classes or practice,and little to do on Fridays.Geeeshhh..
 
yes and most of the time they just put their names on it to get people to come..the promoters get permission to use their names.They dont always have much to do with it.They may or may not show up..there has been times where their names will be used and they wont even show up.But when they do..its really harmless.

They have these all the time in Charlotte with the panthers and bobcat players. The players are never there, it's just a gimick to get people to go. Could this be the same? If not and they are of age and it doesn't affect their game, I hope they have a good time.

Yeah I know, panthers and bobcats, not much here. I don't like NBA and the panthers suck.
 
Vandy could trounce ANY out of conference team you have played this decade during your regular season.

.

In the interest of accuracy (because the thread is otherwise pretty stupid), off the top of my head, Florida played MTSU in 2000 and beat 'em 55-0, and beat them another time (2004 I think) this decade. Vandy has played them at least 3 times this decade (maybe more) and has yet to beat MTSU.

There are probably more examples, this is just one that comes to mind.
