6 Players Charged

Today, the City of Chattanooga charged 6 UT-Chattanooga football players with rape. Not only that but according to Coach Allison, these 6 are not likely to return to the team, ever. Good riddance. This is the kind of thing that needs to happen at higher levels of sports to show younger players that this sort of behavior is not acceptable. Just because you’re a minor celebrity locally through athletic prowess, you can’t disrespect your university by behaving like this, consensually or not, and not have repercussions.
On other Mocs news, Terrell Owens, formerly of the Mocs, has been suspended for the remainder of the season by the Philadelphia Eagles. Its okay with me, he’s been a punk ever since he got to the NFL. I’m a little ashamed though, he came from my university, and is the most high profile former student out there right now (sorry Dennis Haskins , I love ya, but your celebrity’s not quite equal to his), and he’s being a punk.
