He had a similar college career and while he hasnt been the ideal NFL teammTe sometimes he’s managed to have a pretty nice career.

A score that would be a whole number…

It’s true, what lesson will this kid have learned here? At least someone in Ty Mathieu’s corner was wise enough to step in and direct him to make the right move. He will now have to face his issues head on and look in the mirror. Let’s hope for his sake he gets it figured out.

If D. Rogers goes this route, he has a very slim chance of changing anything and will fail again.

They’re obviously inept at consultation. This kid will now officially be a “nobody”. The combination of a drug history, running away from your problem/responsibility, and going to an FCS school, just finished this kid as an athlete in all likelihood, at least as far as a future in the NFL is concerned. Too bad. Tennessee on the other hand, won’t skip a beat. If “vols84″ says 8 wins, figure it’ll probably be 8 wins. Good luck, Vols (except at 6p on ESPN on Sept. 15th :) ).

I don’t expect him to be with Tech by season’s end. I hope he proves me wrong and figures it out.

Wish the Vols had made this move in the offseason and not a week and a half before the first game.

Vols will be fine. Still expect 8 wins this season.

If he can’t stay out of trouble there, he can’t stay out of trouble anywhere. Although that may bring on its own set of problems…
