I have followed Tennessee Football since 1959. I'm fed up with the program at UT. It appears to be a clone of our Federal Government.It appears that this program and many others recruit mainly criminals and use three criteria
- Runs fast, Hits hard, and wants to go to the NFL or NBA after the second year.
Should coaches also not consider if the "stud":
- was arrested at 16 for drugs
- has a history of fights in HS
- has 2 children and is not married
- comes from a single parent family
- welfare supported since birth
- rejects rules and authority
How many of these athletes can read and write? What about a criteria for being a good citizen?
Oh well! We would not have college football in 2010. We need more "Bear" Bryants who would bench a Joe Namath in a bowl game.
