I love it. There is more homerism there than TideSports, The Rant and Warchant combined. It has good comedic value.

OK, from what I understand there was an altercation involving UK and Rocky Top players at a party in Lexington over the weekend.

The Rocky Top players were invited up by a female UK athlete who is, maybe, dating one of the Tennessee players.

Exactly what happened, no on knows. There were possibly weapons involved, but it's not certain.

No one has been charged with anything as of right now.

Was this on Jefferson Pilot?

Possibly Micah Johnson... but like I said, there have been no charges filed on anyone.

I just hope that if this did go down, that our guys kicked some Rocky Top butt.

I was told last night there were at least three players in Lexington for a "party" this weekend, where the rumor came out about a fight involving guns. I wasn't going to post anything on it since at the time, all I had was the players who were there but not concrete word as to whether something happened or not.

Anyway, here's what I've gotten this morning. There was no "fight" involving UT players. Dennis Rogan had his phone stolen and one of the UK players got mad b/c some girl was with one of the UT players. The police were called about the stolen phone and a little pushing and shoving, at most. Rogan, Stephaun Raines and walk on Justin Hicks are the only 3 players I've been told were there, but again, according to the people I'm talking to, all 3 maintain it's a situation that is being blown out of proportion.

If there was something with "shots fired" that happened, then it happened after this did and is separate. I have talked to several different people and all of them are telling me the same thing and saying there has been nothing to indicate any players on the team are in trouble.

Please remember, I'm getting this from someone else. I was NOT there. If there turns out to be more to the story, then the players involved are trying to hide it, which I doubt they'd be able to do. Either way, I just wanted to pass along the info I had since there were a couple people out there saying they knew for a fact UT players were involved in a "fight" involving guns.

the guy that said this could be spot on or completely pulling it out of his arse, not sure.

ESPN HATES UT!

messageboard fodder

"Fight between UK and UT players(Six) UT players were at an apartment complex that was discussed above and were harrassing multiple people. A female called the UK players (not sure if this was the female who invited them or another one) and asked them to come over and help her get them to either leave their apartment or the complex. The UK players showed up and a donnybrook ensued. During this bru ha ha a shot was allegedly fired by UK player into a wall. There is a 4th (UK) player invovled who's name has not been mentioned yet.

No one has been charged with anything yet and the police are not releasing any names to anyone. There are apparently dozens of witnesses to this event and the police are taking their time determining who to charge with what.

This is total speculation but I would not be suprised to see 4 UK players charged with disorderly conduct (or something along those lines) and 1 of them given the additional charge of something like Second Degree wanton endangerment (a class A misdemeanor) if he did in fact discharge a firm arm into a wall. I would also not be suprised to see UT players charged with something.

Fact of the matter is that the Lexington Police chief will have to charge someone with something since this is very much becoming public. However, he was raked over the coals pretty hard by Rich Brooks (who's teams have a very good reputation) and the press for the Stevie Johnson incident. If he is going to charge a UK player with a crime, while he was defending a female from UT PLAYERS, he's going to have to charge the UT players with something. If not, that would be VERY unpopular in Lexington."


"Looks like it was indeed Micah Johnson that was involved. Here's more: I got an update, to what I posted earlier. Most of what has been said is the same. Several new pieces of info. One of the girls that lived there, is friends with the UT players, I believe even dates one.Micah, and several other players were called by someone in the apartment. The door was busted down, and a fight did break out amongst UK players and the UT players. The girl who lives there, and several of her friends inside the apartment are accusing Micah of breaking the door down, and also accusing him of brandishing a gun. Micah says he did not break down any doors, and did not even have a gun on him that night. Thats his version. At some point during the fight, the UK players left because the police where on the way. He was not arrested, not detained and as of yet hasn't even been questioned. There is and has been animosity between Micah and that girl, so perhaps her credibility is what is leading to this delay. Can't find out who's version is true, but those are indeed her accusations. FWIW, Johnson's Facebook status is that "the Truth will come out.

Like I said above...I'm guesssing at what will happen here. I think you're going to see misdemeanor charges brought against multiple UK players and possibly against UT players."
