Uhhmm, I was friends with football players, they get all the food they want, with the campus meal card. No need to have an agent buy you tacos.


Yeah, I don't understand where he is coming from. Players have no problems with food and board for themselves. It's when they have to provide for kids and baby mommas they have issues.

do you feel like foster may be throwing tenn under the bus b/c he feels like the coaches at the time hurt his draft prospects? do you feel like this is revenge motivated, or just trying to shine a light on a corrupt system?

He could eat anything he wanted throughout the day at the Gibbs dining hall or at the football facility, no matter if he stayed at Gibbs or not. Hell you're already up early to workout, then I know the bulk of the team would go to gibbs and crush the dining room buffet they had. You go class until just before lunch, back at gibbs for the lunch they serve there. Practice, then eat with the bulk of the team at gibbs afterwards. I lived there my Freshman year, that's how it worked. Gibbs is next to the football complex and provided the approved meal plans that the nutritionists give them for the players.



I was going to post how laughably stupid his comments were about "going hungry," but you covered it. Give me a fricking break right?

It's just kind of out of the blue for him to say this. I haven't really ever heard of him having any ill will towards TN. The only reason his draft stock was hurt was b/c he couldn't hold on to the damn ball, and forced the coaches to play Hardesty. He's honestly a really really smart guy, and I don't think this was revenge motivated in any way. As someone said earlier, I think he was/is jumping on the players should be paid band wagon.

Go post that on the Rant or the SECRant.

There are people that will fight to the death claiming their big time school doesn't give money to players.

It's completely laughable to think that boosters and such dont give money to players.

How hard it is to put $500 in a brown paperbag, drop it off at an undisclosed area, and then send an anonymous text as to where it would be.

"Hey. You should go check out ________. That was the weirdest looking piece of trash I've ever seen."


Completely untraceable.

Gotdangit, people, STOP admitting you got extra benefits and got away with it!! It rips the band-aid off the wound every time.

I fully expect Tennessee to lose 30 scholarships and a 2 year bowl ban.

Oh wait, they're not USC? Nevermind, it's all good, everybody pays players. Nothing to see here.

So is this what NFL players are going to start doing now?? I mean they are free and clear when it comes to NCAA punishment and investigation. So, once they are in the NFL are they going to just start saying what they got in college and all???

Low move by Foster.

Lol, well I didn't say I'm not pissed about it. Honestly just glad it happened more than 4 years ago so that they can't do anything to us now. Butch already has his hands full with the shithouse roster Dooley left him, more NCAA investigation/penalties would be crippling...and I'm not sure I can watch much more of the football they've been playing for the past 3 years
