Is it just me, or is Tennessee’s football program full of thugs?
defense attorney asked that the charge be reduced to misdemeanor assault, but General Sessions Court Judge Chuck Cerny rejected that and sent the case to a grand jury.McDaniel, a 6-foot-7, 295-pound sophomore from Columbia, S.C., was charged after a fight during a pickup basketball game on campus in January. He attended Wednesday’s hearing but didn’t speak.
A 26-year-old student, Edward Goodrich, testified that his face was broken in four places when McDaniel punched him, and that doctors had to insert a metal plate to treat his injuries.
McDaniel is one of 11 Tennessee football players who have been either arrested or cited for crimes ranging from aggravated assault to underage drinking since February 2004. Most of the charges are misdemeanors.
Serious question: Who was the last Alabama player to be charged with a crime while a member of the team?
I’d say S.C. is going at a faster clip for that kind of thing than UT right now.
