You know just as well as I do--if a talented dude's on your team, and he's an icehole, you'll overlook it as long as you can because he's on your team.

And you're naiive if you think that Bryce's recruiting circus and subsequent grand-standing about not returning to the UT team this spring aren't more than just a work of Brian Butler. It has a lot to do with Arthur Sr. and Bryce himself, you can be rest assured.
I have no doubt that his dad was involved in getting him to possibly leave UT for KSU, I was referring to the negatives surrounding his recruitment, and all that centered around Butler.

And its not fair to just say that the UT fans would lie and cover up about BB. The people I've heard from, who were around the UT program and have no reason to lie, told me that the media gave BB a bad rap because of Butler, and his attitude was never anything but positive at UT. That he was a great teammate and a hard worker. I never heard one thing about him complaining about PT or a starting spot.

And these people are honest, they've let me know about Gerald Jones, Brandon Warren, even Ambles. If a UT player is a primadonna drama king, they would have not been scared or ashamed to say it.
