LaMarcus Coker goes down like a champion

2007 August 8
by Jai Eugene

It’s the benches at the baselines. It’s trying to be Florida six nights a week at Mojitos and act like Tennessee on Saturday. It’s “For when the One Great Scorer comes/To write against your name,/He marks-not that you won or lost-/But how you smoked the fatty.” It’s Florida.

(What a perfect picture of Coker getting Bomared!!)

LaMarcus Coker [Coker's stats] was the definition of “Home Run Back”. He had the explosiveness to score every time he touched the ball.  Now Coker has fallen to prey to the hunter that is known as UT’s substance abuse policy (link).  We figure the odds of Coker being reinstated are slim and none with Fulmer (Note, use of the word “slim” and Fulmer in the same sentence).  Fulmer has taken a tougher stance after having a Trophy named after him that recognizes a schools arrest program.  Scoff  if you wish, but that  is fact, fuckers.

The question asked was: can we (Tennessee) not invoke the “Marcus Thomas Rule” and have Coker running drills tomorrow?  More importantly WWHMD? Herban Meyer would immediately execute his complex player suspension algorithm. The algorithm fooled opposing coaches. They could not know prepare because they didn’t know or understand what Coach Meyer would do next on suspending his players for their crimes.

What you folks  need to realize is that this isn’t Gainesville.  In Knoxville we got standards.  It  kinda  matters how we get “there” (to the national championship). So what if it has been 10 years since we been there?  What cost can Fulmer afford these days?  Does Fulmer care if one of his players is caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl? It might  be OK as long as the player dresses out and shows some class on Saturdays.  Look, this isn’t like Coker was arrested buying weed from an undercover narcotics agent,  and  wearing a Gator football jersey for pete’s sake.

We will miss him.  We will watch the Vol message boards begin the heady debate of the legalization of marijuana and the validity of piss tests.  But at the end of the day Coker is probably headed to where most drug challenged and troubled athletes go…..to Louisville.

Of course it isn’t like Tennessee doen’t have other backs, ARIAN F’N FOSTER, go get your 20 carries per game and anothr 1000 yards.

    “In Knoxville we got standards. It kinda matters how we get “there” (to the national championship).”

    Now THAT is funny! “Standards”? Like that Booster giving ca$h to Tee Martin during the 1998 season? Or the whole Linda Bensel-Meyers thing back then? Hmmm…..

    ……in any event, as you pointed out, you did manage to use the words “slim” and “Fulmer” in the same sentence. Which is probably the first and only time that will ever happen.

    #2 If you keep bringing up Bensel -Meyers I’m going to be forced to douse you with a cup of warm “Motts”.

    #3 Well, if Fulmer subscribes to the Herban school of discipline he will certainly be back before that.

    I don’t think Phil needs to subscribe to anybody’s school of discipline…

    He certainly has his own way…

    Proof is in the pudding he keeps in the “Fulmer Cup”…

    Pudding? Is that munchies in Gainesville? Even to a born-again SEC hater on the outside looking in, I can tell you which program has a perception problem….and it isn’t the one north of UGA. UGA is always my point of reference for all things SEC

  7. 2007 August 8

    That “Bensel-Meyers” thing really strikes a nerve with you, doesn’t it Tyrone?

    Like “eradication” strikes fear in Florida fans!!!!

    Eer WTF are you talking about….

    “Pudding? Is that munchies in Gainesville?”

    Last time I checked pudding was a delectable treat that almost all enjoy…

    Just Phil more than others by the look of his waistband…

    “UGA is always my point of reference for all things SEC.”

    This statement alone shows how out of touch you are with the SEC, but still…

    Please explain why that would be…

    Cuz UGA has only been relevant in SEC play thrice in the last 25 years…

    And why would “eradication” cause UF fans to be fearful?

    That simply makes no sense…

    eradication? You have been smoking to much of Herban’s product. Eradication is bad for marijuana crops

    What did he do? If he got the boot for scoring a bag of smoke, that’s fucking retarded.

    Who cares if this guy is smoking pot anyway…75% of college football players smoke herb…its part of football culture…and the the other 25% that do not smoke are snorting cocaine!!!
