OT: Danny O'Brien Dismissed from Vols Football team

Submitted by Lakeyale13 on

Just saw that Senior starting defensive tackle,and Michigan native / former target, Danny O'brien was dismissed by Butch Jones from the TN football team for vague "violation of team rules".  Danny was taken off the field by stretcher two days ago with an apparant concussion during Saturday's game. His dismissal is not related.  Danny is a Senior and I hope for his future he gets his degree and learns from whatever mistake was made (as we all have done).  My best to this Michigander and I remember hoping he would don the Maize and Blue.

This reminds me of the SImpsons episode where Mr. Burns goes in for a check-up at the Mayo Clinic after being declared the oldest man in Springfield: 

Burns:	Well, doc, I think I did pretty well on my tests.  You may 
	shake my hand if you like.
Doctor:	Well, under the circumstances, I'd rather not.
Burns:	Eh?
Doctor:	Mr. Burns, I'm afraid you are the sickest man in the 
	United States.  You have everything.
Burns:	You mean I have pneumonia?
Doctor:	Yes.
Burns:	Juvenile diabetes?
Doctor:	Yes.
Burns:	Hysterical pregnancy?
Doctor:	Uh, a little bit, yes.  You also have several diseases 
	that have just been discovered -- in you.
Burns:	I see.  You sure you haven't just made thousands of 
	mistakes?
Doctor:	Uh, no, no, I'm afraid not.
Burns:	This sounds like bad news.
Doctor:	Well, you'd think so, but all of your diseases are in 
	perfect balance.  Uh, if you have a moment, I can explain.
Burns:	Well ... [looks at his watch]

Yikes...I hate to speculate what the kid could have done. Having said that, given the latitude players are provided at UT to - essentially - F up, it's a concerning situation, to say the least.

Must've been something really, really bad for St. Butch to throw him off the team.

Was the kid running a bunch of sweatshops and using cheap child labor? Or the more likely scenario: did he just rat on another player for something?

We know Butch Jones does not like rats.
