Logan Young found dead in home in Memphis

Roy Adams' comments just continue to show what a waste of DNA he truly is. A man who takes a flask of whiskey into court has absolutely no license to label anyone else as an alcoholic.

I'm surprised they didn't allow Gary Parrish to write the stories regarding Mr. Young so he could continue his hateful cacophony of misinformation.

The comments of the Groinscrape posters also show what an insipid group of sheep they are. They'll follow their beloved tenndud into the sewer and then continue to spout harangues about how good he smells.

I personally can't believe that anybody with at least two good brain cells to rub together to spark a thought could ever think that this was done by anybody involved with UT. Its preposterous. Keep in mind that LYIII had been having a problem with drugs for quite some time. Anybody strung out enough on anything major isn't exactly going to be sitting there thinking to themselves, "there's 5 grand in the house, I'm getting kicked out but all I have to do is clean up and I'll have millions!". Its a quick fix attitude and a crime of passion. Like Earl said, either a relative or a lover of some sort.

I always knew this wouldn't end well. Somebody was bound to die somewhere down the road. Sad story that it happened at all but you better be praying that it was nothing more than the son killing the father. Any links to either our program or UT and there'll be fallout for years and years.


Taken on it's own, I would say logically there is no way a UT fan did this act. However, knowing that:

1) UT's hatred for Bama

2) The fact that Shank's office was robbed, and the boxes with LY defense were stolen, and that led directly to LY being convicted (if anybody thinks for a second that those papers were not used to defuse LY defense, you are fooling yourself)

3) The fact that there were many problems with the ncaa's investigation into Bama football (breaking their own bylaws to start, making up items for another)

4) That it was possible that LY had dirt on UT (that might be an understatement)

5) That the truth behind what happened to Bama (SEC office, ncaa, UT, etc) could go deeper than anybody knew, and they needed to stop it before it all came to light.


Could it have been an Alabama fan? Possible, however the fact that Bama went 10-2 last year would decrease that possibility. If it had happened before last year, it would be more plausible.

No football team makes millions of dollars for individuals, right? No football program would lie about another, right? No football coach would stab another in the back if they both were on the same side, right?..... something to think about

My hope is that it is neither and it was family (not that it is any comfort). My LY rest in peace.....

#5 has been what i have been thinking. If a University is somehow tied to this, this would make more sense than someone from UT. We all know that LY appeal was coming and there was supposed to be some more evidence showing his innocence. To show his innocence, then he had to lay blame somewhere because even though LY may have not been guilty, someone was. Thats my 2 cents......

DONT get me wrong, I am not saying that this is what I think happened. I am saying that "IF A UNIVERSITY/FAN/ALUMNUS is involved" that this makes more sense to me...

Roy Adams, a University of Tennessee booster and once a friend of Young's, said the bitterness he feels over a long-standing feud with Young is not lessened by his death.

Adams helped lead high school football coach Milton Kirk to the NCAA to spark the probe and subsequent federal trial. Their friendship ended, Adams said, when Young made derogatory remarks about his late mother.

"I have mixed feelings," Adams said Tuesday. "The last conversation I had with Logan Young, he was obviously under the influence of alcohol. He called me late one night and said he spent more money on football coaches and players than a lot of people do on racehorses, (but) the one thing he regretted more in his life was the $100 he spent on the flowers for my mother's funeral.

"My mother was a saint. The Good Book says to forgive, but it's hard to forget when somebody says something that mean about your mother."

You'd think he'd at least have enough sense (forget class) not to publicly bad-talk a person who was just murdered in his own home.

I saw where Tennstud posted a comment on one of the UT boards yesterday about this. I cant seem to find it this morning, but although he did mentino the flowers comment by LY, he was very respectful of what happened to LY. Just be sure that if you read the article that you keep that in mind. Roy Adams and LY and many problems between them but after this happened, Roy Adams acted like a man and did not say anything out of the way at all.

I completely disagree. I also read Roy's posts on gritscrape yesterday. You don't pay respect to someone by taking a few last minute jabs at him. That was no eulogy it was nothing but Roy spewing one last bit of venom at Logan. Anyone thinking he paid Logan any respect apparently doesn’t have a problem with Roy making his true/ untrue comment about the flowers for his mother or the comment, true/ untrue about what Logan said about Roy's mother. Roy's mother might have been a saint but she certainly raised someone of a much lower character.

Roy Adams has never acted like a man IMO.
