Da’Rick Rogers is seen in this file photo.The caller to a Knoxville sports talk show Thursday afternoon wanted to change his prediction for the 2012 University of Tennessee football Volunteers.
“Before this Da’Rick Rogers mess I had ’em going 8-4,” he said. “Now I think they’ll go 9-3.”
Drum roll, please.
To be fair, this guy was in the minority as I traveled north on Interstate 75 to watch former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback B.J. Coleman and his Green Bay Packers take on former UTC teammate Chris Lewis-Harris and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Most Volniacs reacted to UT coach Derek Dooley’s news that Rogers was indefinitely suspended with various degrees of anger and concern.
