But seriously, I hate not having him.

Pretty good article:

Quote :

"No ACC school has won playing against an SEC school in the college football kickoff game in Atlanta and coach O'Brien wants to be the first that does."

Quote :

""Everybody knows Tennessee, everybody knows Tennessee football. It doesn’t matter what their record was or what it’s going to be. They are one of those premier programs that have won a national championship in football," O'Brien told Adam and Joe on 99.9FM The Fan Wednesday. "That’s what we want to do here at North Carolina State. To be in the same discussion at the top level of college football. It’s an opportunity for our school and it’s an opportunity for our conference.""

that will sting. that changes their passing attack from being one of the best, to one with a lot of questions

now their primary WR's are a guy coming off of ACL surgery and a JUCO transfer.

8/23/2012 10:14:38 AM

awesome

8/23/2012 10:14:38 AM

shit, that Irving clip is hard to watch yet awesome at the same time

8/23/2012 10:19:00 AM

Suspend Da'Rick but B*R*A*Y is still playing?

8/23/2012 10:19:28 AM

He needs an attitude adjustment.

8/23/2012 10:23:41 AM

Aha. Fuck you Jaybeejibbles and Schindlersdick. Choke on an orange dick.

wow, I thought this was one of those "hamstring" things, but its true!

Quote :

" Tennessee All-SEC receiver Da'Rick Rogers has been indefinitely suspended from the team, the university announced Thursday. SEC blog SEC ESPN.com's Chris Low and Edward Aschoff write about all things SEC football in the conference blog. More: • Blog network: College Football Nation The school said his status for the remainder of the season is still to be determined. Rogers, a junior, led the SEC with 67 catches last season and was second in the league with 1,040 receiving yards. He also caught nine touchdown passes. Dooley said as recently as a week ago that Rogers had enjoyed an exceptional preseason camp and that his attitude had also been good. Rogers found himself in Dooleys doghouse a couple of different times this past offseason because of attitude problems. Losing Rogers would hurt the Vols' depth at receiver, although talented junior Justin Hunter is returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of last season. Junior college newcomer Cordarrelle Patterson has also been impressive in camp."

reverse nc state shit?

8/23/2012 10:32:54 AM

Now we're in business.

8/23/2012 10:37:04 AM

I heard The'Rick asked to be suspended this game so he wouldnt get shut down by Amerson on national tv

he should be back on the field week 2

8/23/2012 10:43:20 AM

"Indefinitely" has me worried. Could be back before our game or could just miss a play or quarter, you never know with these deals. Hopefully he's at least out for our game.

8/23/2012 10:44:08 AM

Why was he suspended?

8/23/2012 10:54:11 AM

^^&&^^^ Yeah but sounds like a history of problems and a lot of people thought he should have been kicked off last year so sounds like he isn't coming back.

8/23/2012 10:56:43 AM

I'll take what i can get

8/23/2012 11:00:41 AM

Renegade program. It's a shame, really. Considering UT is one of the few historically clean programs in the SEC.

8/23/2012 11:34:13 AM

Quote :

"Why was he suspended?"

Violating team rules, but I haven't seen anything specific. My guess is he failed a drug test if that's what it took to get Honey Badger out of football while B*R*A*Y* is chucking beer bottles and running down old ladies on the lake.

Quote :

"This is out of Dooleys hands, the suspension had to be made. Means its either at the University level (academics, drugs, violated university rules) Or at NCAA level Means playing him could jeopardize our record if we won game. (violation of NCAA eligibility, academics, etc) "

So weed and agents is the only thing that gets you suspended in the SEC that and being named Stephen Garcia

8/23/2012 11:54:18 AM

Can't believe I'll be driving to Atlanta a week from today! SO EXCITED!!!

8/23/2012 11:56:46 AM

Hahha. Was talking to schindlers fist the other day, and we both agreed something would happen before the game and that it would involve Da'Rick haha

8/23/2012 1:01:29 PM

Darn, beat me by 14 seconds.

Tough blow for Tennessee. Wonder what he did...

8/23/2012 1:07:11 PM

Yeah, WR is a really good position for us but against State it is a huge blow because of Amerson... Now out #1 WR who is coming off season ending knee surgery will be covered by Amerson and doubled possibly while our #2 is a Juco transfer making his first major college start. Huge difference between that and the #1 or #2 receiving corps in the country. And even that could have been handled if this happened early on because we are loaded with young, highly rated receivers but for them to move up to 1st team with a week left? Not happening, that means that useless POS White Lightning will be the #3 for this game at least. I swear this program is cursed lately.



[Edited on August 23, 2012 at 1:26 PM. Reason : D]

8/23/2012 1:11:35 PM

According to DG, he certainly will not be playing next week; the discussion above is much worse than what DG was talking about, so there ya go.

8/23/2012 1:11:56 PM

^^
In our zone scheme, Amerson 99% of the time covers the wide side of the field, no matter which particular wr is lined up there.

8/23/2012 1:28:07 PM

word on the street is that he took that $$$$

8/23/2012 1:28:26 PM

^^ Fuck you, troll

8/23/2012 1:32:43 PM

8/23/2012 1:36:53 PM

i don't think Rickadickdick's suspension is that big of a deal

sure he led the SEC in receptions last year, but when you're trailing in every game you have to throw the ball a lot

8/23/2012 2:09:52 PM

It's a loss for Tennessee and a gain for NC State, so I'll take it.

wow jaybee, tell us about how water is wet

8/23/2012 2:38:09 PM

great news - so the net results of this is what..... that UT is only favored by a half point now?

Still think our first game with so many questions to answer (LB, WR, ST) leaves high odds for us to give this game to them - as opposed to UT straight up dominating us.

8/23/2012 2:41:18 PM

The victory is tainted. We should take no joy in the win now.

8/23/2012 2:45:14 PM

I vote for Friday to be the opening song for the game.

I could not care less that Sammy Watkins did not play for Clemson last season in our game. I still enjoyed the game immensely.

8/23/2012 2:48:07 PM

One of our starting LBs (already most thin position) is missing the year from a failed drug test, so bullshit excuses from either team are not warranted.

Quote :

"Dooley stated, "I think NC State could blend right in in our league and be able to whip anybody in our league. I don't see a difference in this team. We look at them and see great athletes on the perimeter. A lot of draft picks. We see a hard-nosed, physical, tough football team. They could fit right in our league. I don't view it as SEC versus ACC. There is no significant difference, in my opinion."

That's some serious coach speak there, but thanks for the compliment.

8/23/2012 3:35:21 PM

the rick's backup will have a career day.

8/23/2012 3:39:00 PM

^^ Lol, if he means NC State could step into the SEC and go 3-9 no problem just like all the other bad teams then I agree.

If he means we could step in and get dominated at the line of scrimmage by every single team in the conference not named Vanderbilt then yeah sure.


See ya Da'Rick your name is Ra'Dick ulous anyway.

Might be old news by now but ESPN is saying Da'Rick failed the university's substance abuse policy
