To say it's been a bad season for Tennessee would be the understatement of the year. They've looked horrible all season and somehow even lost to UCLA - a team that got killed by BYU 59-0. Phillip Fulmer's job is clearly on the line, or scratch that, he has to be fired at the end of this season, and the team is going through a quarterback controversy right now. So all hell has pretty much broken loose.
And nothing would demonstrate that better than this.
Practice had just ended last week. The Tennessee starting tailback [Arian Foster], a senior on the verge of becoming UT's all-time leading rusher, was requested for media interviews.
He had a demand: whoever interviewed him had to speak Pterodactyl, some made-up dinosaur language. No interview was conducted.
Oh yeah, that's when you know you've hit the bottom of the barrel. When one of the greatest running backs you've ever had at the school is talking in dinosaur.
And also, don't get the impression that just because no interview happened that Foster kept his mouth shut, no sir.
While Fulmer was 10 yards away addressing the QB controversy between Jonathan Crompton and backup Nick Stephens, Foster let out this gem.
"Veeeeek! Veeeeek! Veeeeek!" Foster shrieked.
Fantastic. Good luck with the rest of the season Tennessee. I'm sure everything will work out just fine.Tennessee's Arian Foster Refuses Interview Requests Unless You Speak Pterodactyl [Deadspin]
