All over The Vol's message boards

What, talkin bout how their coaches fought to keep an alleged rapist eligible while the whistle-blower got bullied for "snitchin"?

It puts a premium on what he brings to the table. A result will be affected when the equation changes.

I don't think who the BB is or was is part of the QB equation.

Sounds like it might be something non athletic related.

Based on this being an AA dismissal instead of Team violation this sounds more like a caught cheating on a test or something other than drugs. I could be wrong tho

First day of class is the 21st. If it was cheating on a test, then he's fast. http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/calendar/

LOL... Bingo.
They can rationalize all they want.. We know what it is.

That was the impression I got when I first read the announcement. It said the SCHOOL had dismissed him.

AA has 3 strikes rule with drugs or other issues. It was not academic related. Kid couldn't do right.

Let's just say that Dedrick had already been given more rope than other players. This is really more like strike 3.5

I know Mills helped us win last year, but I wonder if CPJ should've never given DM the spot above Marshall. Marshall did everything right, didn't get suspended, good student, carried the load every time Mills let his team down yet every time Mills got out of the dog house he started splitting carries again with Marshall. CPJ can't control someone's behavior, I get that, but man, we ran off Marshall as Mills seemed the heir apparent and now we're left with nothing.

No, we did not run off MM. That is patently false... unless you say the O ran him off.

August 8th, same calendar.
It's been a while since I was a student--a LONG while--but there's a process to resolve cheating, and I can't believe that CPJ would have been unaware of it for two weeks or more. They'd be on this immediately. And I think there would have been a suspension while everything was getting sorted out.
And there's somebody knowledgeable chiming in that it's not academic.

Good grief y'all. It wasn't cheating.

Kinda tells you how good he was..CPJ did not want to let him go

How do you know that what I said is patently false?

This is why you don't leave MARCUS. DAMMIT mother ****er

Ah, the vicissitudes of college life.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Thanks for posting that. Johnson is one class guy. Proud that he is our coach.

For people insinuating it was weed, it wasn't based on CPJ's clear comments from the press conference.

I'm gonna go ahead and call bull on this.
