Whatever happened to that 5* dumbass that played with him at TN and got kicked off the team?

I can remember two.

Demetrice "Dee-Mo" Morley, a 5* recruited by Trooper Taylor out of Miami who started with Berry in 06, but was kicked off the team by Fulmer for academic issues. He was later readmitted and played some more before getting kicked off again by Kiffin for bunch of other crap (I don't remember exactly for what). I know he played a few years of CFL afterwards. Not sure now.


Another one is a prep school 5* Brent Vinson, started with Berry in 07, and was kicked off the team by Kiffin for his involvement in a murder case. He finished his career at North Alabama and also played a few years of CFL. Not sure now.

I am pulling for the offense.

It will be difficult for Oregon to jump Bama in the next few weeks (assume both win out), unless voters in coach's poll and/or Harris poll really hate to see a LSU/Bama rematch and make an extraordinary effort to vote Oregon ahead of Bama, which seems unlikely to me.

Oregon's resume for the next 3 weeks doesn't stand out, and on the other hand, Bama would actually play (and should beat) a ranked Auburn team. Bama is now leading Oregon by 0.0344 in the BCS ranking, and that's a small but somewhat comfortable margin. I just don't see how 1 more lackluster beat-down against ASU/UCLA/USC could propel Oregon to overcome that margin.

Does this mean all SEC teams lose big on ticket sales for one less cupcake-eating home game every other year? If true, SEC better address this issue in the new TV deals with ESPN and CBS.

There will be plenty of tickets available along the strip (main campus street) and around the stadium.

Never had trouble with the fakes, and never heard of anyone complained about the fakes, so don't know what to tell you on that.

Our group normally leave the tailgate 30 minutes before the kickoff, and pick up our tickets on our way. IMO, the most you should pay around that time will be $20 a piece. If you stay patient and wait until 10 minutes before the kickoff (when you hear a loud cheer inside the stadium, which means Vols get on the field), you should be able to get tickets for $10 or less.

In 06, when Tennessee played LSU at Neyland, with both teams ranked around top 10, we got our tickets for $10 a piece on our way to the stadium. When I was right outside the stadium, a drunk LSU lady tried to give me her 2 extra tickets for free (BTW, she was a true MILF. I was impressed with the amount of MILF fans LSU has.)

Again, there should be plenty of tickets out there, and it all depends on how long you want to wait or how many connected seats you want to get together.

Lyles said Tennessee reimbursing a third party for the cost of an unofficial recruiting visit is clearly against NCAA rules. But the scout said the practice isn’t uncommon in college football. Lyles said coaches often seek someone with the financial means to pay the initial cost of the trip. He declined to cite other schools that engaged in the practice or detail any of his other testimony to NCAA investigators.

---

If I understand it correctly, Lyles was basically saying other schools did it too, but he only wanted to throw Tennessee out there and no one else? :lol:

Any way, I don't think it's a huge deal for Tennessee unless NCAA can find a lot more.

I may be wrong, but I think only NFL has the 10 second runoff, and CFB does not. Either way, I don't think faking the injury will help either, since the game time will resume as soon as the player is off the field, and the referee signals the start.

When there is 1 second left, and the ball is downed in the field, there is almost impossible to get one more play out, whether the play would be spiking the ball, or snapping the ball for a field goal.

Hi, folks, I am new to this forum and looking forward to having some good football discussion with you all.

I got a question for LSU fans: does anyone remember a LSU football player back in 60s, his name is Charles Moore? I believe he played defensive back, and was an all-SEC if not all-American caliber player. I know Charlie personally, and just want to verify his little "story" with LSU fans. Thanks!
