A poster on TCP noticed that in response to some criticism of her son for fumbling, specifically by a “booster” who she didnt like, Arian Foster’s mom had this to say on a Tennessee message board:
I would’ve posted had we won, so what the heck. I’ve seen blame on everything from orange pants to Dustin Colquitt. Arian had a bad fumble….a good game, but a bad fumble. No excuses. It can’t happen and it shouldn’t. What would you like me to say?
Roy?
What would you like Arian to say to you? While you lure former athletes to your home with food and drink and God knows what else? While you sit there and offer $100 handshakes to anyone who will pay any attention to you? While you spread gossip like an old fat bat at the beauty shop? What would you like my son to tell you?
How about I tell you something instead. I’m grateful that he doesn’t look for fools like you. I’m grateful that he stays far far away from crud and filth and people who have nothing better to do in life than to mire in other peoples business. I’m grateful that he can get up tomorrow and still look a fine man in the mirror. And I’m grateful that no matter what he does on the field or in life, he’ll be a far better character than you will ever be.
Money doesn’t buy you intelligence, it doesn’t even buy you love. But I guess in Memphis, it sure as hell buys you a crowd at your house for a football game. I’d gladly be poor all my life than to wind up like you.
And I don’t care if I get banned. You, Roy Adams, can kiss my ass.
The internet is GREAT!

Saw where Big Blue Madness has been changed to Oct. 10th. Same weekend as the SC game and John Wall’s visit.

If you look through other threads, Adams talks about his disdain for tattoos and how he has “given any other Div. I athlete he’s seen that doesn’t have a tattoo 100 dollars.” Sounds like an awesome guy, hope we don’t have anyone like this around the UK program.

Who’s Roy Adams? This ESPN E-Ticket story might give you some clues.

What was that “boosters name” on the movie BLUE CHIPS?
That is who Roy Adams sounds like
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
OH SNAP! Shiz bout to hit the fan aint it?!??!
hahahahaha

That is why we shouldn’t snap out at young players for UK when they are not doing so bad. Never know what kind of dirt they may have and use against us.
So Fulmer is the snitch that ratted out Bama
Din’t Pearl do the samething to another basketball program way back?
Time to bring down the VOLS, start sending emails to the NCAA

#6- I believe his name was Happy.

Very interesting article link Gimel. There’s no telling how much these two (Adams and Logan) are still secretly covering for each other. I’m thinking there’s a lot more players they’re responsible for. Those are neat behind the scenes stories to hear when it’s not your football team.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Orton needs to be brought in for that visit with Wall.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Here’s the deal. The NCAA already chose sides on this one. If they were happy to eat out of Roy Adams’ hands when Alabama was on the chopping block, you can be sure as hell that they aren’t going to sacrifice all of that face by now turning around and accusing their former stool pigeon of impropriety.
I live in Memphis. They’re still fighting over this in court.
Frankly, this Adams guy sounds like a creep. Hope they shove him under the bus, but Arian Foster’s mom is just the tip of the iceberg.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Beautiful! Robert Frost couldn’t have said it any better!
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I thing I’m in love with Foster’s mom.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I nominate Mama Legion for next weeks episode of “Arian Foster’s Mom Goes Off!”
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:07 pm
It seems like fair play to me.
Signed,

man that is one good lady. wish he was playing for UK
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
FosterMom (arian’s mom) is a long time poster over on the UT Rivals board, as is TennStud (Roy Adams). He is famous for his parties, etc in Memphis. Is he dirty? Sure, no doubt about it. Does he pay UT players, not sure. But UK, Duke, UF, UGA, etc all have their own Roy Adams’, that’s for sure. Remember when kids just played the game because it was fun?
Sigh.
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
I meant scout, not rivals. oops.
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:03 pm
those scout/rivals types (for any school) are the main reason I post here so much, to be quite honest with you all….
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
The NCAA lost the map to “Tobacco Road” many years ago friends.
The way that Dean Smith and Kzryzewski parade as the high priests of basketball purity is a crock. Oh well, as in most dramas, the snitch is always met with a cruel and just end. Cheers Mr. Adams….mama don’t take no mess!
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:11 pm
That was one righteous verbal beat-down Mama Foster just served up. She was like; Oh hell no, let me tell you what I really think!
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
One only has to look at the knife in Johhny Majors’ back know the truth behind Fulmer and his program. I can’t wait til they finally go down and all the stuff they self-reported in return for ratting out Bama comes back to haunt them.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
*self-reported and got out of
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 am
macon fan go in hiding for a week or so b/c of your teams performance.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 am
I love to hear the Big Blue Nation wax eloquent with so much “inside” information about the Tennessee program. As entertaining as Mama Foster’s tirade was, if you want a key fumble at the most inopportune time of a big game while your team is in scoring position then Arian is your guy. Plus, based on the above, I imagine Mama Foster warms up one fine bowl of Chunky soup.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
#25, I was on this board while my team was performing like poo. Why go in hiding? I don’t play for Tennessee, I just support them….
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:21 pm
that was strong. thanks mom.
