How does Pete fizzleing Thamel get the story before any of a number of Tennessee media? I knew it was a possibility, but I wasn't expecting it. I admit I wasn't digging for info as the week progressed. Next man up!
Not sure how much of a scoop it is...was widely anticipated and about 99.9% likely.
I think Butch would have played him anyway. Butch had a way of hiding the injuries and letting the WR play, and then 5 games later explaining why they were not performing. Or maybe he was lying about them being injured, IDK.
The bottom line is...Butch is gone, and that's a good thing!
