Tennessee Fandom is Strong
College football is filled with passionate fans. That of course, is understating things quite a bit, but nothing tops the Vol fan that, despite having a gun pulled on him by a member of the Tennessee football geam, still wants to see the player lacing them up on Saturdays:
Corey B. Zickefoose, 20, said he was sitting in the driver’s seat of a 1998 Hyundai Elantra on Cumberland Ave. when one of the players pulled a gun and demanded money.
But that’s not enough to prevent the players from being kicked off the team, he told 6 News.
“I think they should still be able to play football, regardless,” he said. “Tennessee is my place. It’s my football team.”
“Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?” 6 News asked.
“Yeah, it’s Tennessee. That’s the way it is sometimes,” Zickefoose said.

“That’s the way it is sometimes”. They left the part out about the Duke boys getting away from Boss Hog when the General Lee ramped over some stuff and went air born. Then the horn played “dixie”.
just the good ol boys……
Now that’s a true fan, hilarious!
“Gooooood ole’ Rockytop, WHOOOO! Rockytop, Tennessee!!”
“hey it’s Tennessee man, if Im not getting robbed by a football player or kicked in the groin by a member if the field hockey team, my wednesday nights are nuthin but dukes reruns and rc cola”
Hey man, don’t hate on the RC. I just bought some tonight.
Yeah RC is a miracle worker. At leat 20 times better than coca-cola if not straight Kroger brand dr shasta.
And Michigan fans think we’re homers…
Woooo doggie, I’ll bring the moon-pies!!!!
(seriously, microwave that mofo for 30 seconds…)
Holy shit, please tell me this is not for real! I don’t care if it’s Archie f’ing Griffin, if a Buckeye did that to me his life would be over.
They don’t understand that a gun is life and death. Most murders happen from the gun of the victim. eff Tennessee and their thug ass punks. I’ve had a gun pulled on me before, but common sense tells you the yielder isn’t ready for 25-life. If I were the driver I would have grabbed the gun, sped off and dumped it in a lake. Also, I most certainly would not be a fan anymore.
for no misconceptions, I was shitting my pants but common sense is a great thing.
Not everybody is the perfect person in the world. Everyone does — kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me.
Mike Edwards was a 4* CB out of Glenville. Glad to see Tressel passed on him.
Jackass comes to mind. Those kids should never play a sport at an American University ever again… getting in trouble is one thing, but ARMED FREAKIN ROBBERY is another. Cannot have known felons on your team…. period.
When Maurice Clarett pulled a gun on me, I said it was o.k. – come one, it’s Maurice Clarett -
Life imitates art. This is like the plot of a movie called Big Fan, where a NY Giants fan gets his ass kicked by the star Giants WR (Plaxico?). But he doesn’t press charges because he wouldn’t be able to play Sunday.
I live in Knoxville, and it has been all over the radio, obviously the last 2 days. Funny thing is, it wasn’t even a real gun, it was a pellet gun!!! These guys are total dumbasses, and hopefully will be kicked out of the program. Only one is a real factor on the team currently, and he is a badass, he can seriously play some defense. He hits just as well as eric berry, and most people say he is a better overall player. I think berry has been hyped quite a bit anyway. But anyway thats the scoop, it wasn’t even a real gun…just a pellet gun. Very funny.
robbing someone with a pellet gun reminds me of when the grizwold’s got to wally world in Vacation. haha.
Hey, it could break the skin and cause a very bad infection!
