VOLS PLAYER CONTINUES PROGRAM REVIVAL WITH SHOPLIFTING ARREST

by Orson on Nov 17, 2009 4:38 PM EST

Luchini fever has clearly broken out among the Vols, who have both engaged in heistin' merchandise and gunnin' (of the pellet variety) this week.

Next up in the revival: the heistin' merchandise portion.

Freshman safety Nyshier Oliver was arrested on November 7 and charged with shoplifting at a department store in West Town Mall.

The police report says Oliver was spotted putting a brown shirt worth approximately $110 in a Dillard's bag. He was arrested around 1:45 that Saturday.

...the Saturday of homecoming about six hours before the Memphis game, to be precise. We welcome the Vols back to the land of the competitive SEC East teams, and now up their possibility of winning an SEC East title next year thanks to the increased verve and hunger of the youngsters clearly energized by the new regime in Knoxville. DA COACHO HE BE SIPPIN' ARMAREDDA! DA LANEKIFFUH HE BE SIPPIN ARMAREDDA!

What in the world? Don’t these gentlemen understand that the Fulmer Cup eligibility doesn’t open up until the season’s over?

Don’t they know that the Fulmer Cup doesn’t start back until off-season? Is this their pre-season training for that?

Kiffin Cup. Aug 30, 2010-Jan 8, 2011.

I’m begging you, Orson. I am climbing off the back of my ’32 Dusenberg, setting down my gin rickey and taking the monocle out of my eye to genuflect and implore you – make it happen.

Wait, I’m confused. No mention of Kiffin’s zero arrest boast? Wouldn’t this have been before?

Dillards Bag?

Wow that sounds eeriely familiar doesn’t it?

Peter Warrick anyone?

by InTheBleachers on Nov 17, 2009 4:58 PM EST reply actions

Curse you, In The Bleachers, I though I was going to make that reference first.

Although, I would have gone with “I thought Peter Warrick made shoplifting from Dillards unfashionable”.

Sweet, sweet schadenfreude. It has to be wrong that I relish each and every arrest of a Tennessee player like the last slice of pizza, the first cold beer, or the next pic of bunda. Thank you Kiffeykins for all that you do!

#8: Exactly. It’s nice to see that even ten years later, a Dillards bag remains the tool of choice for the discerning football playing shoplifter.

A shirt from Dillards and a hold up with a pellet gun?

And to think Nu’Keese Richardson said he chose Tennessee over LSU because the BR crime rate was too high…

As a gator fan, I am genuinely concerned at how good our fortune has been of late. We’ve survived this season’s SEC West games unscathed for the first time in 10 years (knocking on wood re: SECCG) and our two worst enemies (FSU and UT) are at their programs’ nadir at the same time.

I’ll be hiding in my bomb shelter from the karma hammer.

@ Kevin:

Like all recruits, he was obviously concerned about the competition in Red Stick.

by Tater Salad on Nov 17, 2009 5:24 PM EST reply actions

@ Kevin – Thugs have easier pickings in places with low crime rates because the complacent rubes there are easier to take by surprise.

The way these past couple days have gone I’m just happy he wasn’t charged with scraplifting..

by bigthirsty on Nov 17, 2009 5:48 PM EST reply actions

wow – you would think that Dillards would have learned its lesson about arresting promising young football players in a university town…

a brown shirt worth approximately $110

Does anyone else want to know what kind of brown shirt it was for $110? Only me? Ok.

by Brian O'Blivion on Nov 17, 2009 5:59 PM EST reply actions

@19 – A brown shirt with a blue ink stain on it now, probably.

How do yall get those security tags off, anyway? I’d shoplift more myself, but those things ruin it for me.

by Ted Valentine on Nov 17, 2009 6:11 PM EST reply actions

Shoplifting? He probably went into Dillards to try it on and the fire alarm went off. Because of the game, he didn’t have time to wait, so he wore the shirt home and left the shirt he owned in the dressing room. When he went back to get his shirt, the little shit at Dillards told him they didn’t have it. So he told that little shit that he was going to keep the new brown shirt because Dillards lost his shirt.

Officer Krupke, Krup you!

Brian @19
A Dillard’s brown shirt for $110 sounds like a 100% silk Tommy Bahama, but that’s the full retail that you never pay.

by SC'Eer on Nov 17, 2009 6:17 PM EST reply actions

@22:

Like being charged with shoplifting a $600 suit at Jos. A Bank when you know that shit costs $49.99 (plus 3 shirts and a tie) 364 days out of the year?

13/Kevin

We all know Nu’Keese went to UT because of the academics. Just like what Jimmy Johns told Sly Croom about his decision when he chose Bammer over MSU. They had a better “business” school than us, so he said.

Unfortunately, Lonnie Strickland and Art Thompson didn’t teach at that particular Bammer biz skool.

Tanner. Quote from a story on ESPN regarding the arrest:

“Four days after Oliver’s run-in with the law, Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin went on the SEC coaches teleconference and praised his team for not having any arrests in 11 months.”

Actually, I think that Kiffen bragged that it was 11 months and seven days with no arrests.

No karmic fears here…it was UT and the Kiffster who had rung up the extreme imbalance, and thus they are now paying for their excesses. Remember, karma isn’t retributional, but rather an opportunity to experience that which you have sown…I’m still waiting for the “true story” of Nukeeses sudden change of mind from Florida to UKiff to come to light…seems a nice way to pay them back for their dismissal, and to experience what it feels like to be called a cheater…ahhhh, karma!
