Vols All-Time Leading Rusher, Travis Henry, Is Montana Drug Magnate
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Word is UT message boards iummediately lit up with fan anger. Seems many Vol fans would prefer Arian Foster deal drugs than fumble inside the five-yard line. Which makes sense. After all, 6 kilos of cocaine never made anyone feel worse than they felt before a football game. And who cares if Travis Henry can read? He was The Cheese man, The Cheese.
The case has its roots in Montana, where a trooper and DEA agent stopped a car that was carrying six pounds of marijuana and about three kilograms of cocaine on Sept. 16, the affidavit said.
A passenger in the car, whose name was not disclosed in the affidavit, told authorities Mack and Henry had supplied him with the drugs, which he was supposed to deliver to customers in Billings. The man said he was supposed to be paid $5,000 for delivering the drugs and transporting about $63,600 in sales proceeds to Henry, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit indicated that separately, the passenger and another customer in Billings already owed Henry about $40,000 in drug proceeds. The passenger told authorities Henry had threatened him and his family over the debt.
Montana? Am I the only person who sees this as an HBO series? The retired black running back sees Montana as fertile drug territory but ends up in a gangland war with the white cattle rancher. It's like Lonesome Dove meets the The Wire. You bring in Travis's illegitimate children for occasional cameos. (Henry's not my own.) Maybe a few flashbacks to his UT football career.
Like the time Travis Henry stole my next door neighbor's speakers (he was a baseball player at UT) in Gibbs Hall, was caught on tape, denied it, and then later confessed to Coach Fulmer, "Okay, I did it, but I just want you to know coach, I would never steal from a football player."
Yeah, Travis Henry has always been pure class.Labels: Travis Henry drug arrest ut all-time leading rusher montana the wire lonesome dove

When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...
