Not that it’s time to completely give up on the University of Tennessee Football season, but it sure doesn’t hurt to look forward to basketball season. Wow, who would have thought in east Tennessee, the previous statement would ever be relevant. Alas, it is. As the football season unravels, Vol fans are grabbing hold of the expectations surrounding men’s basketball. Yeah, expectations around men’s basketball not women’s. Well, we all know the women will be outstanding as usual; but, expectations are swirling around a guys’ team that many are picking to win the SEC in the ‘07-’08 season.
Of course it wouldn’t be Tennessee athletics without the most famous phrase of late, “suspended for violating team rules.” Oh yeah, a phrase uttered weekly by big Phil Fulmer has leaked over to Tennessee basketball.
Tennessee forward Duke Crews, who started 18 games as a freshman last season, has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.
“Duke is a very intelligent student-athlete but has made some poor decisions,” coach Bruce Pearl said Wednesday in a release. “It is in his, as well as the team’s, best interest that he is suspended at this time.”
More violations after the jump.
“Suspended for violating team rules,” is a statement that only leads to speculation, second guessing and of course general humor. What exactly are the team rules and where can one get a copy of these? APIAS.net has gathered a list of Tennessee basketball team rules. After careful calculation. listed below are a few Duke Crews could have possibly been suspended for:
- Passing out Pearl necklaces.
- Littering and Littering and Littering and…..smoking the reefer.
- An inordinate amount of naked white girls in one room.
- Parking car over the curb on the UT strip.
- Hitting on Pat Summit.
- Drinking on the job. (a joke of a job provided to him by a booster.)
- Flirting with Phillip Fulmer’s daughter. (Isn’t that punishment enough?)
- Not passing to Chris Lofton in pick-up games.
- Having the first name Duke.
- Hitting on Candace Parker.
- Getting blocked by a white guy. (See pic)
- Teaching UT wide receivers how to catch.
- Reading Dane Bradshaw’s book.
- And of course, trying to get with Coach Pearl’s hot, young bitches. (Look at those…..sunglasses….they’re HUGE!)

The same thing happened recently to Syracuse freshman Villanova Jones.

What if Duke got pissed that Coach was stealing all the white girls on campus and actually released the pictures?
