More pseudo-armed Vols pillaging? Of course

Written by Grubby | 12 November 2009

I'm sure Bru will be getting his shots in soon enough so you might as well hear it from me.  Three Tennessee Football team members, all freshmen recruited by Lane Kiffin (he of "we haven't had anyone arrested since I took over" fame) were taken in by the cops for attempted robbery this morning on the UT Campus "Strip."  Apparently with a pellet gun in tow.

Also at EDSBS, where the jokes are already rolling like Ramar Smith on a Friday night in 2008.

Just for grins... what the twitter world is saying:

@Nastinchka: IF PHIL FULMER WAS STILL HERE THEY'D'VE USED A LOT MORE THAN A PELLET GUN THIS PROGRAM'S GONE SOFT I TELL YOU WHAT. #thatfeelsbetter

@DawgterFeelgood: Richardson should be lucky he didn't choose UF. If he had, he'd be staring down a suspension for an ENTIRE HALF.

@andydarty: Remember when boosters just gave players money?

@edsbs A green robbery! RT @GoVolsXtra: They were riding in a 2010 Prius and attempted to rob someone driving a 98 Elantrahttp://bit.ly/4rNIO5

@edsbs "Lane Kiffin will discipline his players. Or not."

@Jerkwheatery: Gotta tell ya, I'm excited about the increased rep our Prius will have thanks to UT! I AM SO ECO-HOOD!!!

Oh dear...

Still nothing from @LaneKiffinUT or @utadmike

UPDATE:  Gotta love this... regarding last week's suspension of Janzen Jackson... from YESTERDAY!!

Jackson said he appreciated that UT's coaching staff was willing to forgive him of his recent transgression.

"I appreciate that a lot," he said. "You don't want to have your coach mad at you for any reason. You don't want that to linger. It's always about looking forward with these guys. That's a good thing."

For guidance, Jackson said he spoke to his father, Lance Guidry, who coaches defensive backs at Miami (Ohio).

"He just told me to keep my head up," Jackson said. "Look forward and it will be past sooner than I think. And it already is."
