English as a Second Language at UT

University of Tennessee senior running back Arian Foster is tired of discussing his team's awful start. Instead of refusing to speak with the media, the Vols soon-to-be all-time leading rusher had another idea. All interviews following a recent practice were to be conducted in "Pterodactyl". Unfortunately for us, no one took him up on the offer (though Foster did let out a few "Veeeeeek"s for the folks in attendance).

At first glance, the decision to speak in an imaginary language sounds like good fun. Upon further review, it is both sad and cowardly. Take a moment to think about the group of people most likely to speak in a made-up tongue...if you guessed those who's hobbies include World of Warcraft, collecting dolls from comic books, and watching Star Trek VHS tapes in their parents' basement, then you are correct. Arian, quit hiding behind high pitched squeals and use the English language to tell us about "the suck" that is UT. For more on Phat Phil's last season in Knoxville, click here....
