For the third time in less than a year LaMarcus Coker has been suspended from the Tennessee football team for an unspecified violation of team rules. Coker, a sophomore tailback, and defensive tackle Demonte' Bolden will sit out Saturday's game against Louisiana-Lafayette, Coach Phillip Fulmer said Wednesday. Both worked with the scout team Wednesday.

Whats it for?

Coach Phillip Fulmer, I am sure can handle this problem. Alot of fans blame him for Mr. Coker's mess. As a young man at this point in his life he needs to hang around with responseable people. I attended UT in the 1980's and helped with some of the football players. UT can be hard on some who can't control their actions. I hope Fulmer can get Coker the social instruction he seems to need. Or else kick him off the team. UT has enough to worry about to let players hurt the team. It is a team sport right?

Yeah, I agree Steve. I hope he can get his stuff together. It's a shame when any young person starts messing up a good thing.

Boy, I wonder what the chances are that these "infractions" happened before the South Carolina game. They get suspended LA-Lafayette?? And we "hope to have them back for Arkansas".....weird huh??

What a loser kid. A free ride at a big time program and you go and mess it up. He'll be off the team permanently or a has been before he realizes it.

(for all you little kids who want to get all upset now, realize that I am just a fella who refuses to be run by the thought police in this country.....throw all the stones you want....I am married to speaking the truth, and if you don't wanna hear it, go back to bed kiddies)

Too many discipline problems have occurred the past few years on this team. Cut him before it spreads any further.

By the way talk about a weird occurrence. Never in my life have I had more hope for the men's basketball team than the football team.

Two programs headed in completely different directions.

He got caught smoking the trees again im sure, have friends that goto school there and they said Coker loves to get high and his first 2 suspensions were b/c of failing drug test, but the kid is fast as lightning guess those blunts he smokes must not hinder his breathing capabilities

i am absolutely shocked at the first few posts here insinuating that fulmer is good at discipline! UT has had the dirtiest program of the last 12 years, check the stats

November 2, 2007  06:29 PM ET

DC is right Fulmer has no grip on his team if you goto a kegger in knoxville your bound to run into a player or two

Coker is now kicked off the team blows to be him

November 3, 2007  03:25 AM ET
