Jim Bob Cooter arrested

Tennessee quarterback Jim Bob Cooter has been suspended indefinitely by Vols' head coach Philip Fulmer after the senior was arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence. Cooter will miss the Volunteers' first game against Cal on September 2 and will also have to attend an "alcohol evaluation" before he can return.

Cooter was arrested by campus police after they said they noticed his SUV cross a center line and drive on the wrong side of the road. He was charged with first offense DUI. His passenger was charged with underage consumption.

Fulmer's comments:

"Jim Bob has let the team down and embarrassed himself and his family by his actions," Fulmer said. "He has benefited greatly by being part of the Tennessee family, and with that comes great responsibility for his actions."

[...]

"He did not behave in a responsible manner, and he understands very clearly that even though this is his first offense, there will be consequences," Fulmer said.

    Man, I'll be very disappointed if that nose-pickin' backup QB is kicked off the team. As Verne Lundquist says, "The best name in college football."

    With a last name like Cooter you owe it to your children to brainstorm long and hard before selecting a name...Jim Bob wasn't a wise choice.In fact when WOULD Jim Bob be a wise choice?

    Tide, I doubt if Fulmer will use any valuable resources to get a QB buried in the depth chart out of a DUI. We'll take a page out of the Bama Book and use that money to buy a few new recruits.Of course he could ask for a favor from his old buddies he ratted you guys out to, hard to say. Give him credit, he's trying to get UT to the high standards set by the Bama program, it's just gonna take awhile.

    No doubt about that Volpimp...

    That guy has always been so far down on the depth chart he never really left high school.

    Fulmer's comments:


    "Jim Bob has helped the team and encouraged himself and his family by his actions," Fulmer said. "He has benefited greatly by being part of the Tennessee family, and with that comes great hangovers for his actions."

    [...]

    "He did behave in a responsible manner, and he understands very clearly that even though this is his first defense, there will be more parties, and he will be completely reinstated before the opener vs. Cal thanks to me," Fulmer said.

    Brodie didn't have a bowl cut....

    But he did bare a resemblance to George Harrison.

    That's beside the point though. I just like how a name like Jib Bob Cooter could ONLY come from Tennessee. I mean, John Parker Wilson...yeah...that's pretty southern, but not nearly as overtly redneck as Jim Bob Cooter. Why would you want to associate with that? It's like being a hippy and having the name Hyacinthe "Love" DeMaria...or something like that...It's just utterly pretentious.

    Actually, the popular opinion was that he bore a resemblance to Ringo.

    Jim Bob was just helping his family over the summer and making a few bucks as the delivery boy for his parents micro-brewery. It was a heavy volume day and as southern hospitality goes it is customary for the delivery driver to share a toast with his customers to ensure that the corn whiskey is of the pureist kind. Cut the young man some slack!

    BAMA Still sucks!
    Florida still bites!
    And the sun still provides that Tennessee Orange Glow as it goes beyond the hills each night!
    Good Day and Rocky Top to all!

    The ironic part about Jim Bob is that he is irrelevant. So all you idiots like "jimmy" whose middle name is probably joe and last name Johnson, can bash the guy all you want, it's pointless, and whether or not he's gay is probably wishful thinking on your part.

    jimmy,How do you know Jim Bob is a gay redneck??Do you hang out with him or know him PERSONALLY??Are you questioning your own self and projecting it on to other people??They have support groups for people in your situation.Quit watching Brokebutt Mountain and get some help G!

    If my name was Jim Bob Cooter, I'd drink too, poor guy. I guess the only saving grace is that he lives in Tennessee where a name like that goes unnoticed.
