Lattimore


No matter what team you pull for in the SEC or any conference for that matter, everyone felt the pain for Lattimore on Saturday. I'm sure the players doing their job on the field to stop the run especially know the impact of that play. Had this happened to AJ Mc Carron in the Tennessee, Alabama game what would the headlines read? My point?? Ainge and his mouth. He called for giving up 15 yards being worth taking out McCarron's knee . I am NOT accusing those players of maliciously targeting Lattimore at all and I'm sure they have reached out to him and his family, but the immaturity and classless comment from Ainge coupled with the brat behavior from Bray begs to question what type players and team does Tennessee want to have. Don't get me wrong EVERY TEAM has and will have a player come along that does not represent the school or team in a respectful way and every team has those RABID, CRAZY fans that you would love to muzzle, and we have them too!!! but leadership sets the tone for the players. No player has chosen to assume that role for Tennessee or at least one that shows up on the field. Dooley was all in the media calling Bray out for his behavior, but what was his punishment? threatening to bench him yet again and never following through???? Well, there is your answere.. NO Disclipine. But what is Dooley to do? Be chewed out by the fans for pulling Bray or do what is right and pull him.? Bray, will continue to sabotage himself. Personally I would have benched him and moved him down to the scrimmage team and made him earn his way back. Now as for Dooley that is a matter for the Athletic Director to decide. But to call for Sunseri to leave after less than 1 year under his belt. Your NUTS!!!! We loved him at Alabama and obviously his coaching works and we have National Championships to prove it. But as usual a Moving Van is poised to arrive at his door. Now as for the fans, you should be ASHAMED to start walking out on YOUR TEAM at the end of the 2nd quarter as you did in the Alabama game. Have you ever thought by you staying and cheering them on you may spark a sense of pride that ignites a fire to come together as a team? Try it!!! we stood by and lost a lot of games at Alabama a few years back, but we NEVER lost pride for our team and we NEVER walked out on our boys. Our team has a philosophy... Play with all you have for 60 min.... Never let up.... You should support YOUR team for 60 min....
