I remember him. He was better on the sideline than he was on the field.

So Josh Briscoe is gay?

I remember the kid.

I think the whole thing is shady personally. This happened back in August and not for sure what has come of it since but that just doesn't seem like something he would do. I have a great friend who used to Coach him and kept in regular contact with him and he said it just doesn't add up. But you never know, people change, etc. Not taking up for the kid it just sounds shady IMO.

Briscoe had one good year, may have been Ainge's last year.

LOL Looks that way kinda.

The more I think about it. I believe I can remember him. The name sticks out. Oh well I was checking a a pigeon forge forum seeing what was going on in that neck of the woods and saw that.

He was "Josh Briscoe" on the roster. I've read a couple different articles about this and had mixed feelings about it. I haven't heard anything else since August though.

He played pretty well for UT if I remember right

**UTVols2** · October 15th, 2009, 03:10 PM

2007 he had 56 catches for 557 yards and 6 TD's.

He ended his career with 79 catches for 866 yards and 8 TD's

His senior year shoulda been better but the whole 2008 season was a cluster****

^ This guys right. It was kind of a joke that he sent to one of the kids he was coaching. It was something about a bet they had about something and Briscoe won the bet and joking told the kid that he had to "do something for him". Don't think he's gay or anything else. I just think he said something to a kid that he shouldn't considering the position he held. Most on here have done it or worse, he just shouldn't have considering where he was employed.
