looks like Tom will be making excuses again about the BG game. His star TE suffered a season ending injury while sitting......

I would have expected the chair to break under Coach Hamstutz, not their TE...

Wow. . .

When I saw the title to this thread I thought it was another TU bashing thread and had a bit of a groan, but now that i have read the article, holy crap that's is funny..

(the headline , not the injury)

Well I guess the lesson here is that they really need to stop using chairs made in UT's Shop class.

You mean chairs with only two legs are only economical, not practical?

Only one solution here, and it amazes me they don't already do this.

Carpet squares.

Toss in snack time and Time-outs, and UT would have all they'll ever need to coach those slackers.

I heard they have milk and cookie hour everyday, have story hour, and even get to take a 30 min nap.

fatstuz to blame

I heard Amstutz sat on it before Clarke and weakend/cracked the chair. Clarke just finished the job.

Clarke, who will be 24 on Christmas Eve, sat out the 2000 season as a redshirt after coming to UT from Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Ill. He appeared in 11 games as a Rocket freshman in 2001, and caught nine passes - three for touchdowns.

I persoally think it should be one redshirt and that is. There is no reason why a player should be in a college system for 6 years. I feel this way whether it is this guy or one of our own. Yeah it his senior year, but he already got an extra year. Before long these guys are going be able to take as long as they want to play their four years.

The rules don't bother me. I'm a believer in medical redshirts, Mormon redshirts, whatever...

Kdog, there is a 37 year old WR that will be playing for the gamecocks this year. What do you think about that?

bacn3- We made off with that chair scott free, it was the bread tray from arbys, adn the piece of metal that fell from teh Burger Kind ceiling that you and I were carrying across the parkig lot when the cop in Arbys saw us that we almost go arrested for. Remember how the first words out of his mouth were "what the F*** are you guys doing?" That was the last staw that completed my ahtred of cops...... even though my mom was on the force for a number of years

I simply cannot believe what I just read! UNREAL!!

Although I am highly offended they use the term "freak" in association with a UT story. Makes me ::puke::


:lol:

So if he gets a 6th season, and based on UT's graduation rates, that means he should finish his degree in 2009. Not bad.

I am all for medical redshirts if the injury actually took place on the field, practice or game. Being an idiot in public (clarke) should not get you an extra year. For all we know this guy actually fell off his apartment balcony when he was drunk.

That's cool as long as he hasn't been enrolled in college for more than five years.
