At the spring game...40,000 showed up to a game that maybe draws 10 grand a year...
Well...the week started out pretty interestingly...
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, who routinely poked fun at Tennessee while he coached at Florida, threw in a comment about the Vols when he was asked about criminal charges being dropped against Gamecocks receiver Syvelle Newton.
"I guess at one time somebody accused [Newton] of slapping him or something," Spurrier was quoted as saying in Thursday's edition of The State newspaper. "But this was not a full-blown fight. If you want to read about some full-blown fights, read about the Tennessee players, not our guys. We've not had any knockdown, drag-out fights amongst our players."
Eleven Tennessee players have been arrested or cited since February 2004 on various charges, and four players were charged this week with assault stemming from two separate fights on campus.
lmfao...Tennessee should be proud...
but Fulmer wasn't about to sit for this...lmfao...
"He needs to take care of his own house and leave mine alone. He's got plenty of issues over there, I'm sure, to deal with," Fulmer said Thursday after practice. "We've had a lot worse things than this that we've gotten through."
South Carolina has had nine players arrested in recent months.
"It doesn't bother me one bit," Fulmer said about Spurrier. "Maybe it rained that day and he didn't get to play golf."
So...Tennessee is up to 15...
SC better catch up...they are down 6 early...need a late TD to catch up...
Stay tuned...these 2 play in a gang fight on October 29th...in Knoxville...should be fun...
