Reading the Tea Leaves
2009 November 12
It’s a crying shame when a player like Jackson is forced to sit out a game, possibly the season because of a minor indiscretion. I mean, who hasn’t been arrested for buying weed, carrying a gun while committing an armed robbery? Let me see a show of hands…..just what I thought….not a one of you.
Seriously, we are hearing that #15 may be cleared. So, if he is cleared what should Kiffin do with him?
Three UT football players arrested on attempted armed robbery charges » Knoxville News Sentinel
Hell, I say lets keep him!! let him play
Vote here
He should have gotten charged with assault with a deadly weapon for wearing his shoulder pads. He’s such a beast for an 18 year old.
Amen Mac. He is going to kill somebody with his style of play
Jai just as a heads up: UT better be worried about the connections of the female driver. She has worked for the athletic department and has interned at the Tennessee state legislature. And she is taking most of the rap. There’s more story here. The Other Shoe has not dropped.
interesting choice of words; “the other shoe has not dropped”
Another day, another new low for the LWS website.
Really bad judgement saying that he is going to kill someone on the field when luckily he didn’t actually cause harm to anyone last night. Look, its all good and fun to go back and forth with comments but use a little common sense and think before you post once in a while.
I know this happens with plenty of teams aside from UT but ARMED robbery should never be tolerated by any sports program, business, or society in general. If this was any other team than UT you would support that statement 100%.
You’re problem Mr. Unmanned Aircraft Operator is that you expect way to much from this website. If you can lower your standards, then you will never be surprised.
The fact is this sort of thing happens at all SEC campuses. All of them. It’s fun today to get in a few digs at UT (especially on this blog) because a lot of time and effort is put in here to somehow attempt to establish that other SEC programs are all dirty and corrupt and that UT is pure and angelic. The programs in this conference – to paraphrase George Wallace – “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference” when it comes to upstanding citizens.
I am the supreme moral authority with unlimted powers on Volquest Chat.
Chu, did you vote?
I’m loving what this is doing to the betting line (+5.5). Someone needs to get arrested every week, I volunteer Lincoln next week.

It is exception as opposed to the rule at knoxville. I relaize that down in Gainesville and T-Town, this is minor shit. We see it as some major indiscretions.
That might be the first thing you’ve said that I fully agree with. Thanks buddy!
Jackson will get off because he didn’t go up to the vehicle and because he is the 5-Star Recruit and starter of the bunch.
Jai, I would hasten to add that only in Knoxville are “broomstick cousin rapist” and “football scholarship recipient” NOT mutually exclusive groups. On this day of all day don’t peddle that lame shit. No pun intended actually . . . .
I did like you goving the chick one star though. That was genius.
Couldn’t we just all have a sit-down at Shoneys and get this shit all ironed out and everyone plays on Saturday? No harm, no foul.
LL, Dodd on CBS is saying it will be a long shot if any of the three escapes prison time. They are probably all finished. It’s gonna be out of UT’s hands.
Schadenfreude!
Ja Vol!
Yes Brian, I agree. The 1-star was genius.
This whole situation is just stupid all-around. Pulling a gun? On some kids that were more than likely UT students, too? In the parking lot of a Pilot store? (James Haslam, UT Booster is Pilot CEO if I’m not mistaken.) Just ridiculous.
Jai
This type of shit is the norm at TN. Thug players and stupid big mouth coaches. TN is a shithole that cheats all the time. But they want to whine and cry about how bad they have it b/c the other schools are cheating. You’ve tried to justify it by saying something about Jimmie Johns and you said this happens in places like T-Town and FL all the time. Johns sold some dope..so what…He didn’t take a small mob and rob people at gun point. People who wanted drugs went to Johns he didn’t force them. Unlike the people who didn’t want to get robbed but they were exposed to the trashy ass TN football players who do that. And Jai I don’t understand why your girlfriends picture is with the felons. Was she in on it too?
Let me get my AK out and fire off some warning shots. THIS IS MY RIFLE.
Why – when this crap happens – does everybody try to insist the other team is somehow worse? That does’t stand any kind of actual factual test. It’s all SEC jingoism. It’s patent bullshit.
As an example, UT is the only school that I KNOW has a convicted rapist on scholarship. That does NOT mean that there are NO other rapists at OTHER schools because in general the thuggery around the SEC is pretty evenly distributed. It’s just ridiculous to say otherwise. It’s true Jimmy Johns sold drugs, but then again Otis Mounds did time in prison for dealing crack BEFORE Auburn gave him a football scholarship. ALL SEC teams have thugs. There is just no real “high ground” held by any of these programs and it is silly to try to pretend there is.
This type of crap never happens at Vandy.
Mac I stand corrected!
Monte has to be saying…there is No way, No way you could have come
from my loins!!!
Vandy had a player shot not two years ago and was playing two weeks ago. Signs that the Dores are a program on the rise.
Even when a situation has nothing to do with the Gators, UT fans still try to justify it by implying that UF is worse (bosgap). Just take your medicine on this one. It was a stupid, stupid thing to do. So be it.
Jai: “he’s going to kill someone…” He’d better up his weaponry first. You should give the chick 5 stars…her bond is $116k versus $16k for the others. She’s taking 3 for the team and gets one lousy star? It’s an outrage! Must be a Bammer behind the star system, just like Rivals. Damn, another conspiracy.
It’s b/c UT fans haven’t had anything except womens basketball to get excited about in quite some time…So, apparently they took up whining. I’ll admit they’re getting quite good at it too. In a couple more years you can hang it up there will be no competing with UT fans in whining. They’re just that damn good!
Jai…why did your sister only get 1 star? And why is her bail so high?
Mike
I am considering banning you for posting a dumb comment. Just dumb. you can do so much better
I guess when you get your ass handed to you for trying to justify the terrible crime those UT POS did then banning people is your only retribution. Think Jai… you called out Jimmie Johns, AL, and FL to try to justify what these punk thugs did. They stuck a gun in somebody’s face and tried to rob them. If you want to trash our name expect your name (and your sisters)to be trashed back.
Plus I’ll just change my screen name and come back.
Corey B. Zickefoose, 20, said he was sitting in the driver’s seat of a 1998 Hyundai Elantra on Cumberland Ave. when one of the players pulled a gun and demanded money.
But that’s not enough to prevent the players from being kicked off the team, he told 6 News.
“I think they should still be able to play football, regardless,” he said. “Tennessee is my place. It’s my football team.”
“Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?” 6 News asked.
[b]“Yeah, it’s Tennessee. That’s the way it is sometimes,” Zickefoose said. [/b]
ARMED robbery…..with a fucking pellet gun. Sounds more like cops and robbers in the park. Janzen has already been released, no bond, on his own recognizance. He is hauling ass so he can make it to practice. Coach Kiffin might make him run if he is late. There is much more to this story. Either way, FUCK OLE MISS, AND GO VOLS!!!
Your Daddy
High 5!!!
I wish corey was of a legal age to drink, I would buy him a round
Thanks Jai, right back at you. And I want to buy Corey B. Zickefoose a fucking drink and get him laid. What a great kid!!! At least he has his priorities straight.
Now that was kind of scary Jai…….great minds think alike!
I understand that Jackson carries a Glock40 in his jockstrap just in case he needs to take some weed off an opposing player during a break in the action.
Wrong Zig. Like any good Tennessee Vol, there is no room in his jock for a 40. Besides the glock 40 brigadier is a pos, you know it and I know it.
I heard your mother can’t get off the needle and likes sucking off transvestites. But who am I to pass judgement?
Corey said the right thing about those fine, upstanding young men, otherwise Nu’keese would put a cap in him.
You can’t spell Pellet Gun without UT
Guys, I will say this: it’s odd that a chick out with weed and drug paraphenalia with three UT football players who are holding up people in convenience store parking lots is also an intern at the Tennessee state legislature. Those intern jobs often go to the well-connected. There is a story in there somewhere.
Wrong Jai, that’s the reason they carry the piece in the jock, nothing but a cigarette peter in there.
Don’t act so common Your Daddy. You really should be ashamed of yourself for dissing Jai’s mother like that. I know for a fact that she is a wonderful lady.
“I know what you’re thinking . . .did I shoot 99 times or 100? Well, in all this excitement I kinda forgot myself. But this is a CO2 powered pellet gun, and it will shoot your eye CLEAN OUT . . .so the question you gota ask yourself is . . . .Do I feel lucky . . .well do ya, PUNK????”
spikes reference?
Someone should paint Zickefoose for Heisman on that lame rock. That would be funny.
“Spikes reference?” Cool. Nicely done.
Gators carry AKs – not pellet guns. And we don’t need a grinder to break up our weed.
Tennessee is fucking bush league. Thanks for being our bitch for the last 2 decades.
This IS a Tennesseee Blog but all fans are welcome. If I pulled for another SEC team I would likely come here to read about best team too!
wow these “your mom” and “your girlfriend” comments are pathetic, you guys should be fucking embarrassed…
Worst SEC team. Best SEC blog.
At SC, you’ll “work”at the gas station. At UT, you’ll “rob” it?
You know these comments are getting out of control when the tool-bags start repeating one another.
Vols, bitch.
This is just too good: according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, when the UT thugs demanded money, one of the victims replied “We ain’t got nothin’ but a cheeseburger.”
Ladies and gentleman, I move that we replace Smokey the hound with a more appropriate mascot for UT football: The Hamburglar.
Fantana:
Watch the vid on the lower left hand side. The one redneck says the “cheeseburger” line. lol

Sorry, didn’t realize the link was already on here.
Kitten has himself in a bit of a jam. Discipline this, we handle what we can control that.
If these guys dress again for UT, it’s proof he’s all talk and no substance (as we already thought). If he mans up (for once) and kicks these clowns off the team, he’ll lose his prize recruits.
I bet UF loves that Keys is “your” problem, not their’s.
Fact, Kitten was up all night worrying, while Saban and Urban slept peacefully dreaming of SEC championships. May be a while UT.
hahahahaha.
according to knox news, they are still on the team. Kiffin is letting them dress out and possibly play saturday. what a dickweed. UT has replaced “da U” AND the criminoles for outright thuggism.
Ya Mamma, Where is that being reported?
The Kiff-O-Meter:
DAYS WITHOUT AN ARREST: 1
The Tennessee Hamburglars . . .it’s Mickey D’s time in Tennessee! I’m lovin’ it! You Deserve a (legal) Break Today!
Mamma- http://bit.ly/1fJLUO None of those 3 will against Ole miss.
Brian is heating up!
This is from today’s Nashville Tennessean:
“During one ridiculous stretch on Fulmer’s watch, UT had 11 players either arrested or issued citations during a 13½-month period.”
Please Jai don’t try to say UT is “better” than other programs. Your own state media does NOT back you up. The facts don’t either. Get real.
It was an unfortunate mistake. All 3 suffered brain injuries in practice last week and mistakenly thought that it was Halloween so they dressed up as robbers and went trick or treating for cheeseburgers in the Pilot lot. Lighten up a little Bama & Gatorites .
