Kongbo Still Here as per Jones

"He lost a game of FIFA" ~Butch Jones

 

[Shaun1985]

ill timing to tweet that HA

Glad he's staying. Tons of raw talent and could be special

 

[vflsmokey1]

I don't believe that

 

[UT's#1Fan]

He knew what he was doing... drama queen

 

[dhb92]

I'm calling BS. If it was him losing a game of FIFA he would've had a follow up tweet clarifying that after the **** storm that ensued.

 

[Stoked]

Moral of the story. Grown men should stop following kids on twitter trying to decipher their every tweet.

 

[BlackCreekVol]

I don't believe this explanation for a second

 

[Orangeblood98']

Wow that's such BS

 

[mackievol]

It's sad that people don't know the difference between football cleats and soccer cleats in a picture. smh

 

[james_govols]

I don't follow Twitter but didn't someone also say Kongbo removed all UT stuff from Twitter?

 

[B EaZy40]

Horse crap.....he removed all his UT stuff in his profile as well. He quit and has been talked into staying is my guess.

 

[smittysmitt3434]

Could it be that he was one of those that had talked to Hurd?

 

[edyeary]

Well that first attempt didn't work. lol

I admire the spin on this one!

Rumor has it Butch beat him with the US women's team multiple times.

It's sad that you ignore reality for a warm and fuzzy feeling.

 

[dcm3w]

I wouldn't be surprised if he left after the season. That explanation doesn't make sense.

CBJ should be a politician, he can spin with the best of them. Kongo quit, he tweeted as much. He also removed all UT stuff from his Twitter page. Somehow for now, CBJ has convinced him to stay.

 

[DeansRedHalo]

Well the FIFA games have been maddeningly awful for the past several iterations, so...sure, why not?

Absolutely what I was thinking. Both quit and the staff was able to talk him in to staying. And for the record I like Hurd he done an amazing job. Not to have much of an o- line in front of him. But if you want to quite because it's a little rough. Duces....

Large part of every level of football is political.

 

[volsailgate]

I get the sense that Butch/team convinced Kongbo not to leave now but that he was planning on it. Still might be

 

[avolation]

When you search google images for hanging up the cleats that's like the third picture that pops up from an article about the NFL. I think the soccer cleat-FIFA game story is a load of crap.

And 247 made a big deal out of it lol

He didn't tweet that he quit the team. I know for a fact that he didn't quit or have to be talked into staying.
