Being excited and having misplaced pride are two entirely different things. Regardless, an entitlement mentality about what these recruits owe you is very AL / KY to me.

Thats fine, you can call it an entitlement mentality if you want. My thoughts of what the recruits/players owe is to the fans and alums that support the program that offers them the opportunities they have that a lot of kids grow up dreaming about.

This kid had it made!!! Play with the fastest rising team in college sports and had all the potential in the world... He was missing home, had an all expenses paid education at a top notch college and a possible ticket to the NFL. Looks like he is just another Marcus Vick!!!! I guess you can take the boy out of the hood just not the hood out off the boy!!!! An indefinite suspension and no chance anywhere else is what he should end up with!!!!

Sufficiently. Looks better at 39 than she did at 21. Maybe it's just that she's got better drinks on the table in front of her now.

Dude, why do you continue to dig a deeper hole? the talent they have to earn a scholarship is something you will never know. Do you think any of the 3 players grew up wanting to be a Vol?. You continue to use the word owe, no player owes you a damn thing, with your philosphy you should be paying all the players who have been injured and could never play the game again. What do you owe them hot shot? Josh McNeil will suffer from bad knees the rest of his life, are you going to pay him for his sacrifices? Get it thru your thick skull that no players owe you anything, you owe the team your cheers and support. You also owe any player to ever wear the orange the benefit of the doubt.

First off, BPV, I normally agree with most of your opinions, however, I think it is a stretch to say pride in ones school = pride in oneself. They are both mutually exclusive. As a former military officer, I can tell you that there are certain standards that you must uphold or you damge the image of the military. The same can be said about our student athletes. Like it, or not, the school, it's students, it's alumni, boosters and faculty are all represented by these 3 young men. I want these kids to get their lives together and go on to better things. However, yes, they did let ME down as a Vol fan and donor. You too, if you stop to think about it.

The rambling sentence I copied said nothing about that you believe you are owed, but I think it was supposed to.

My statement refers to my original point. Which is that I believe that the players owe it to the fans and alums that support the university and its football program to conduct themselves with class on and off the field because they are a representation of the University as a whole.

You think by saying this, I am making a declaration of entitlement. If thats what you think then fine. I think all Vol fans and alums that support the program are entitled to hope and expect that the student athletes that represent the university should conduct themselves in a classy manner on and off the field.

2 of the 3 young men helped us in winning some games this year. They did not let me down, I am disappointed in their actions and pity the damage they have done to themselves at the young age of 18.

Sure they let us down, but that has nothing to do with the crap I read here. Our fans were almost gloating over the fact that these kids have screwed themselves and might end up with considerable prison time. I find that garbage.

I, too, was an officer in the military, but I was a trained professional and didn't take that gig until I was 22 and I damn sure didn't have to do it with armchair types all over me because I couldn't hover on day 1.

You must have absolutely abhorred the Fulmer regime.

Bad news for you. Many of these kids don't give a crap about your sensibilities, and are unlikely to live up to your definition of class. My Alma Mater has a reputation you'd like, but we can't beat freaking Navy. I'm proud of them, but I'd sure like to win a little.
