Vol player cries 'uncle' during Florida game

From GatorCountry, as quoted by AOL FanHouse, here's a story told by Gators tight end and special teams player Derek Baldry:

"On the point-after attempt, after the 48th point, one of the guys rushing, I guess, decided he didn't want to go too hard. Instead of shooting through the gap, which is where he would have come through me, he kind of ran into me and kind of pulled up and said 'whoa, whoa, whoa' as if I were going to deliver a hit to him. Verbatim he said, 'I don't want to rush this s--- anymore, I'm too f----g tired.' That's what he said.

    "As he was saying 'whoa, whoa, whoa,' I thought the play had been whistle dead or a flag had been thrown or something. I didn't understand what was going on. I kind of looked around real quick and I saw the refs with his arms up in the air, showing it was a good kick, and that's when I tapped him on the head and ran off."

Losing sucks, but it happens sometimes. I love my alma mater, and will root for the football team whether they're 13-0 or 0-13. As long as they don't quit like a bunch of spineless prima donnas. This is unacceptable.

Fulmer should kick that player off the team. Or better yet, kick himself off the team for coaching quitters.

[Update] Fulmer disputes the allegation.

Ainge first disputes it, but then says:

"If it happened, then whoever said that would need to take a hard look in the mirror because there's a lot of guys that would do anything to go out and play on the special teams for the University of Tennessee.

"If that were the case, I wouldn't want him playing for me on my team, period."
