And It's All Gone Rocky For The Tennessee Volunteers
Well, the University of Tennessee Volunteers are back.
While they haven't won a National Championship since 1998 (yes, we know, still longer than Penn State) or an SEC Championship since 1998 (Penn State last won a Big Ten title in 2008), or beaten Penn State since 2007 (well, they haven't played them since that game, either, to be fair), they are back in the hunt for the most important trophy of all: The Fulmer Cup.
Invented by our friends at college football superblog "Every Day Should Be Saturday," the Fulmer Cup gives thumbs up to miscreants.
For a few years, Penn State looked like they were taking home a Cup. With Fulmer gone and Lane Kiffin's Fulmer-ness pretty quiet (if you consider holding up a gas station wearing UT football clothing "quiet"), Derek Dooley's boys returned with a bang, or two, in Bar Knoxville earlier this week.
Apparently players Da'Rick Rogers and Darren Myles were both arrested for their behaviour , which saw "7-10 guys" pound the crap out of one guy.
What did the guy say? Did he approach Myles—who had been arrested in April for getting hammered and causing trouble—and Rogers with an imaginary microphone and say: "We've heard losers wear bright orange. What do you think, guys?"
According to an article sent over by a reader, it was the UT players who were attacked - "without provocation", and then all hell broke loose. Still, the one guy didn't end up too well, did he?
And even better—or sadder, if we're honest— is that they beat up an off-duty cop trying to keep the peace!
Nothing says classy like beating up an off-duty cop, guys!
Anyway, it looks terrible on the team and terrible on Dooley, who probably should have thrown Myles' ass off the team after the first arrest.
To quote Joe Paterno, this Myles kid isn't a "good kid" when he's touching booze.
See you in an AA meeting soon, Mr. Myles - we hope (and we say that with all seriousness!). Because sure as hell (after getting booted by Coach Dooley) you ain't playing football right now.
