Predicted by GoVolsxtra Blogger Marcus Perez two nights ago, D Morley is gone from Tennesssee.

Via email : I’ve got my inside source to the program, and trust me, it’s a very good source. This person has told me the reason Morley hasn’t been going to practice is because his newborn child has been very sick in the hospital and he’s been there with his girlfriend. Coach Kiffin told him to make a decision: stay and care with the baby in the hospital or be with the team each and every day. Morley cared more about his newborn child, and now he’s gone from the team. Just wanted to share this information. I think Vol fans deserve to hear the REAL reason as to why he’s not on the team anymore.

If true, Tennessee fans we have made it!!  We are Bama and Florida!!!

“You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Mike Hamilton? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for D-Morley and you curse Fulmer. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that  D-Morley’s dismissal, while tragic, probably saved touchdowns. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, wins games…You don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that Tampa Two. You need me on that Tampa Two.

We use words like Maxims, Moutain Damn Values, Vols, Bitch…we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use ‘em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a Jock Sniffer who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very winning tradition  I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I’d rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up some shoulder pads  and discuss the Tampa Two vs the Spread. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you’re entitled to! “
