Vols Get "Swag Back," Then Get Busted

Posted by Bruce VanWyngarden on Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 3:10 PM

The Knoxville News Sentinel is reporting today that four University of Tennessee basketball players were arrested Friday on misdemeanor drug and weapons charges.

Less than 24 hours after the players helped the Vols defeat Memphis, Melvin Goins, Tyler Smith, Cameron Tatum, and Brian Williams were arrested at a traffic stop by Knoxville police, according to the News Sentinel.

In a report on the game in Friday's paper, Smith was quoted by the Sentinel as saying the Vols had gotten their "swag back." Or was that "schwag"? The jokes write themselves. -- BV

These 4 players have disgraced their team, their coach, the University of Tennessee and the fans that have shown great support for this program. In addition I was very disappointed in the on court actions of Prince at the opening tip off where he made two quick errors.

those guys should realize that a car with 4 black men driving around most parts of Knoxville is just begging to be pulled over. Keep the "swag" in your crib, dudes.

Why am I having trouble feeling Bruce Pearl's pain?

Can you imagine the comments if that'd been here? Lord help us. Most of the one's that'd be doing the talking are soooooo quiet. I wish the four young men luck though, they're sure going to need it. As for JP Prince, I've never seen a Memphis player come home and act the way he did on the court. He has some serious character issues. Even Memphian Tony Harris, when he came home with the Vols in the late 90's, never acted like Prince. Time to grow up JP, life's calling. Shape up or it's going to be ugly for you.

Fortunately, JP's basketball skills are such that we won't have to endure him post UT. They should have T'd him before the tip off.
