6 Vols, including three starters, will be unavailable for the Outback Bowl game against Wisconsin due to academic ineligibility. The starters sidelined are WR Lucas Taylor, DT Demonte Bolden and LB Rico McCoy.Why? Nope, not cheating. FSU's got the "academic scandal" angle all wrapped up.
Tennessee's at less than full strength due to sheer laziness on the parts of the players.
Whaddup, Phil Fulmer?
"We have every resource available through our academic center for academic success by our athletes in all of our sports," he said in a statement released by the sports information office. "In most of these cases, it was simply the student-athlete not being accountable and doing their work."So there you have it. Lucas Taylor is the Vols' best receiver, with 73 receptions and 5 TDs; but the biggest loss might be Rico McCoy, who is the team's second-leading tackler.
First they lose Coach Cut, now this. Tennessee's going to have their hands full against Bret Bielema and his Badgers.

Tennessee is one the most crooked programs ever. Those idiot Tennessee bossters and fans will sell their soul for a good season. I despise Tennessee sports they are the most obnoxious fans in the world. However Pat Summit she is a class act.

UKRULES....did you ever go to class? Perhaps you should do a "spell check" before you send anything else out on any issue. UK only had basketball until this year. UK....sounds like sour grapes since UT has owned you guys for the last 22 years. This year, UT men will hammer the 'Cats as well. You blew it for the B-ball team when you got rid of Tubby. As for boosters (please note correct spelling), at least we have them!

Your coach ratted on us. Yall do the same or more. PHAT PHIL wished he was at ALABAMA. Just a matter or time before Tenn gets smart and kicks his fat ass out of his coaching position

It doesn't matter. Wisconsin was going to win anyway.
I don't know where [Steve] Urkul (on purpose) and others get that Tennessee fans are worse than everybody else, though. I smell a bitter Kentucky fan, though.

It sure sounds like fans of UK and UA are bitter. Phat Phil and Co may have lost to UA this year, but what bowl will the Crimson Tide be playing in this year? Stop living in the past UA fans, Bear is dead and gone. You will never have again what he brought to UA. Get over it and move on. And for the UK fan on here, please go back to school and learn how to spell for God's sake.

Old Rocky Top should be ashamed of the head hunting that was done in the name of football. Maybe that is what they are coached to do at Old Rocky Top. The officials (and I use the term loosely) should NEVER be hired to ref a football game EVER again. As a fan of the game of football, and yes it is a contact sport, it made me sick watching the high helmet to helmet hits while the zebras stood around and watched. They could have ended the head hunting with the first one by tossing the player. We would have had a better game to watch. If that did not work that you toss the second when the QB was sliding. You know on Sundays a QB that slides is even off limits. On Saturdays any player on the ground is OFF limits. Where did they get the ref’s the local gin mill? I would be embarassed to say I was a fan of Tenn. I would rather be a football fan and keep my self respect.
