Six UT players unanimously say they'd want to play for Carolina

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

well this thread took a unique turn

[SnarkAttack]

 

My business writing class has six UT football players in it, including quarterback Nathan Peterman if there are any Vol fans in here. The professor is a huge football fan and loves talking to the players. Just a few minutes ago he asked them which pro football team they'd like to play for if they had the choice. Without hesitation, all six of them said Carolina. I immediately quipped up and asked them why. They said that Ron is a players' coach and he is well regarded by college players across the nation; that the team has great facilities; Charlotte is a nice city; and the organization is very player-friendly. 

 

Not making this up. Guess we have that going for us

 

Business writing, eh? "Quipped" isn't the word you're looking for there.

This is actually very useful as undrafted players can sign for whomever they want.

It's a typo. Meant to say "propped" up. Can't edit on the phone.

There's actually a lot of NFL talent on their offensive line. Everywhere else though, yeah they need help.

I almost punched Benjie Shuler in the face at a Sig Chi party at WCU back in the day.

He was all "I'm Benjie Shuler" and I was all "Get the fug out of my face I'm going to Huddle House for some fuging waffles."

Tennessee gets a lot of NC and Charlotte area HS players. Coradelle Patterson is from Rock Hill and I recall him saying last year he was a Panthers fan growing up and he would love to play for us.

Look at their roster. All 3 QBs are from NC or the Charlotte area. They also snagged one of the top players in the state last season in Marquez North (Mallard Creek) who was a hard UNC target. They also got Maryland transfer and former Ardrey Kell RB Justus Pickett (who was a student of my Mom there too).

Georgia, Tenn, and the Gators seem to have their hands deep into the NC HS football recruiting scene and if there's a top prospect here, one of these three schools will usually land him.

I am a documented UNC and ECU fan - but when it comes to the SEC I will always pull for the Vols. My aunt has season tickets. I usually will pull for UGA vs most SEC teams based on the fact that they get a lot of the NC kids. Todd Gurley, who IMHO is the best RB in college FB, along with Keith Marshall are both from the triangle.

Oh, and F*ck Flordia.

UNC and ECU? You were one of those prick students walking around campus with your UNC shirt. I swear if I had the grammar skills to be a writer you all would've been front page targets. Ass holes and dissenters.

Seriously, it's an awful convenient time profess your fanship considering the result last week. I hear the UNC apparel at the wal mart on Greenville Blvd. is being handed out for free.

Just kidding about the asshole thing. But for real, don't wear that ish in Greenville, I'm tired of it.

Who are these six players you talk of???

[top dawg]

And I haven't even started drinking yet.....thanks for the correction. :thumbsu:

 

Don't feel bad. I have lived in Georgia and North Carolina for the better part of my adult life, and I still haven't quite come to grips with the fact that many people in these parts refer to the University of South Carolina as USC.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that Riley Ferguson is a Panthers fan, too.

Also, Marquez North.

To bad Riley won't be playing in the nfl. Not behind that mess at QB we have.

Not sure if he wants to remain anonymous or not (lol), but I believe his name on Volnation is Panthro. I'm Through_The_T on there. Good to see some fellow Volnation members on the Huddle!
