I didn't know much about the story until I looked up some stuff after Tigercat's post. I was initially disappointed and I probably still am.
Hood, who is 19 now and was 13 at the time of the crime, did serve his "time" and then paid his own way through Catholic High. The school principal stated he'd "put our school’s reputation on our recommendation for Daniel Hood.” Additionally, the victim reportedly wrote a letter to the university asking Tennessee to admit Hood.

Here is some data on the Hood issue. All I can say is don't act surprised if he blows up in K Town.

WR Tyler Maples becomes the 11th official player to leave the program today. DT Brimfield hasn't left yet, but will likely be the 12th player to leave.
I guess we're not going to be so congested at wide receiver any longer. Two leaving by graduation and that's now three that have left since Kiffin arrived.

Incoming UCLA recruit Randall Carroll just ran a 10.3 in his league finals track meet.

The scary thing for Cuse fans is that he could win that job.

If you knew you were facing another year of the InCrompetent one at QB would you want to stay? I mean the guy hospitalized a receiver by overthrowing him into a concrete wall in practice, it's not healthy for a receiver's mind or body to deal with that at quarterback.

In his defense, it was a new wall.

Awesome ending to the New Jersey - Northeast All Star Classic yesterday. Skip to about 30 seconds. Video is on the small side but the Northeast team was driving to set up a FG to break the tie...
The interception was by ND recruit Carlo Calabrese, and the pitch to Florida-bound Josh Evans. Kid can definitely fly. Smart play by both...Carlo for the pitch, Evans for running out the clock. |

http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/...s/?partner=RSS Quarterback Mike Rozier has left Tennessee’s football team, according to a source close to the situation. It is unclear what prompted the former minor league baseball player to leave. Rozier came to UT this summer after struggling in the Boston Red Sox farm system. The former standout at Henry County High School in McDonough, Ga., signed with North Carolina in February of 2004. However, Rozier was drafted in the 12th round of the 2004 draft by the Red Sox in June and agent Scott Boras negotiated a $1.5 million signing bonus to sway him from football. Rozier, 23, chose UT over South Carolina. He was considered a walk-on since the Red Sox are contractually obligated to pay for his scholarship. Rozier provided a strong tie to one of UT’s 2010 commitments: receiver Markeith Ambles from Henry County. Rozier’s father, Mike Rozier, is the coach of Henry County. Ambles is one of the highest rated receivers in the country. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder committed to UT in July. More details later online and in Saturday's News Sentinel.

Had to bring this back up. The last couple of months have just been so much fun, it's hard to adequately describe.

I'm going to venture a guess that both sides of the argument took their positions based primarily on school allegiance, with substantive analysis a distant third to that and pure guessing/hopefulness.
Isn't that the way most of these things go?

And in fairness, it's been the defense that has clearly been a complete disaster and the primary reason for Michigan's struggles.

David Oku set to transfer from Tennessee. Not very happy about that at all.
He becomes the 6th player from Kiffin's signing class that has now left UT.

And the offense wasn't really near built to what it needed to be. Michigan scored the following in the big games. ND: 28, not even remotely vintage Irish MSU: 17 Iowa: 28, 21 in the 4th when they were down 28-7. PSU: 31, 21 in the second half when they were down 28-10. Wisconsin: 28, all in the second half when they were down 24-0. OSU: 7 Miss. State: 14, and oh, they had a month to prepare. Yes, the defense was bad, but being outscored 80-17 in a total of seven quarters of play points at more than just defensive struggles. Considering he had three years to put this together, he should of had a more consistent offense. Period. Now, did Michigan fans at the start have a reason to think RR could at least build an offense that would worry other teams? Yep, and I don't blame them for expecting it to pan out in the end. The only negative that was being talked about was the time for the transition. Things can be debated one way, or the other as to why it didn't work, but in the end he was just a horrible match for Michigan.
