Fostermom rules. Way to go. She's never liked Roy and she's never been shy about letting that be known. She's a good mother to her son and that's a big reason why he has his head on straight.

That lady has a lot of courage. She knows that playing in the SEC, Arian is going to have some tough days, but she shows up no matter what. I don't think that most parents would be able to take the kind of criticism that you find on message boards.
And I don't think she was at all out of place laying into that piece of trash, TennStud. Foster's fumble was a contributing factor, no doubt. There was plenty of stuff to go with it though.

I was shocked to actually see people taking up for the "stud". It was sickening.

They are just blind sheep. There were obviously more than two people to blame for this one. In fact, if it weren't for Foster's play, we would never have been in the position to fumble in the red zone anyway. He had a good game. Without the fumble, it would have been a great game.

You can't blame Foster or Lincoln for what happened. West Coast Offenses takes time to use to it.

yea, hope tennstudd chokes on his son's semen

I wish Fulmer could put TennStudd at RB, so he could get idea how hard it is to play football.

Wow.

Can you believe this?

Now Sports Illustrated has an article on Roy and Foster....

Check out Bernadette Foster's reply (in bold) to this poster. She is right on target.

If players parents don't like criticism of their precious babies, then they shouldn't hang out on fan message boards.

This is precisely why I do post. Why shouldn't we post? Because then you and others have to hear about it? How do you think we feel? Oh, I'm sorry....clearly our thoughts on this subject are not the issue. The issue is YOUR thoughts and feelings cause it's all about you. You may come on a board for the sake of "discussion", rip Arian, rip Jon, rip Daniel Lincoln or anyone you'd like to and you don't want to be told not to. You don't want to be held accountable. We, on the other hand, are expected to take it, not respond and even so much as not be allowed on a board. GMAB. Say anything you want mister. Really. But by God, be prepared for a response. It's a very sharp knife and it cuts both ways.

IMO, everything in the program right now deserves criticism, including the many players (not just one or two) who made boneheaded plays on Monday night. The one thing however that deserves far more criticism than any other however is the coaching. Our coaching is atrocious and has been for years now. Especially our head coach and defensive coordinator.

I would agree with all of that, and I have no beef with criticism of any kind. Criticism is not the same as most of what's been going on. That's the part most don't understand.

I also don't buy the argument that players don't get paid. These players are getting paid a huge amount. First, they are getting a free college education worth tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands in benefits over the course of a lifetime. Additionally, they are getting pampered with all kinds of special perks that average college students don't get, such as opportunities to travel, use of unbelievable facilities, special food, special academic help, etc. etc.

They are college kids getting a "free" education. If you actually knew the truth, you'd know it ain't free. They get room and board and tuition. Nothing else. What benefits are you talking about??? Pampered with "all kinds of special perks that average college student don't get" ? Are you serious? That's almost funny if it weren't kinda sad cause I realize that that's how things are perceived. And yet, I have to send money to my son so that he can put gas in his car, do his laundry, buy a suit and eat. Yes they get food at Gibbs. Special food? Hardly. I've eaten the same table they get. Special food? HA! Special academic help? They get tutors and advisors which, by the way, EVERY student can get. How do I know? Cause I work at a university that supplies the same things for it's athletes and regular students.

All of the coaches salaries and players benefits, are being paid for by us the fans and taxpayers. Therefore, IMO, if we don't like the product that we are getting for our money, then we have an absolute right to speak up and say so. IMO, if coaches or players or their respective families don't like that, then that just too bad. If you can't handle the criticism, then get out of the football business, period.

Again, what are these player's benefits that you are paying for? With a football budget that covers damn near every other sport at UT, what are fans and taxpayers paying for? Well, salaries yes. The university, yes. And yes, scholarships. But if you're that mad about the "product on the field", then man up and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN COMPLAIN AND WHINE ON A A MESSAGE BOARD. Call Mike Hamilton. Call the KNS and take out an ad. Hell, they'd probably pay for it. Call your state representative, your senator, your mayor, your governor. Call the Thorntons, the Haslems or call Coach Fulmer, call the UT president and call anyone who will listen. Because if this is your only recourse, then it makes you look silly and weak.

The more I read about this lady, the more I like her. It sounds like Arian is lucky to have a mom like her.
