David in Tennessee: What's Going on in Knoxville


(N.S.: My reader-researcher, David in Tennessee, sent the following Knoxville Horror update during the wee small hours last night.)

The big news currently in Knoxville is the involvement of a group of UT football players in beating up a bar patron and an off duty cop.

A little-noticed fact in the Knoxville Horror is that Lemaricus Davidson was almost recruited by then-UT football coach, Phil Fullmer. Davidson played sports at a private school while living with an affluent white family (just like "The Blind Side"). Fullmer called the future KH ringleader, "just what we want."

I was a little off regarding the quote from ex-Tennessee football coach, Phil Fulmer. According to WATE (http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=11405217) on October 29, Fulmer said of the future Knoxville Horror ringleader, "This is what we look for."
