Consider the source.

I say that—aside from the fact we're talking about a former Auburn beat writer—because what we don't know is what, or more importantly how, the question was asked of Sentimore.

If you can't follow the rules and stipulations set before you there are consequences.

Bitter? I don't know if that's the true feeling. I do know he felt like he was supposed to live under the guidelines set forth by Saban. Those were off the field guidelines. It had nothing to do with what he did on the field.
 
And I soon as I say that, I jump over to the BamaNews forum to see if anything of note needs to be moved over here and find this:


"I ain't going to lie to you, I want this game more than any other game," Sentimore said. "I want to beat Saban."

It appears Sentimore's and Saban's personalities clashed while he was at Alabama.

"I like him, but I wasn't wanting to be under him," Sentimore said. "I just wouldn't rather be under him.

"With some players, he'll see you in the hallway and he'll just walk right past you like he doesn't see you. I don't like stuff like that."

Sentimore, who signed with the Vols in 2011 after his stint at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, has been a main cog in Tennessee's defensive line this season.

Asked about Sentimore on Monday, Saban said he was a "good player" at Alabama.

"We're happy he's doing a good job and having success," Saban said. "I hope he's doing what he needs to do off the field, in school. His problems here were not relative to being a football player. It had nothing to do with pass rush or sacks, or any of that."
 
Ah, Tennessee, the only state that I know where you can go hunting, go to a game, and pick up trash all in one weekend and never change clothes!!

We'll get the s--t kicked out of us.
We might play reasonably tough for a half, give or take a few minutes, then we will fold like a cheap suit again, and get the snot beat out of us. Our D will get absolutely pounded by Alabama. We will lose this game something like 52-17.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

No problem jocephus! I enjoy going over there and reading the utter stupidity that some of them spew! Look at some of their threads. There are a few "sunshine pumpers" but most are doom and gloom! They know BAMA is coming to put a hurt on anyone wearing orange!!
 
When I mentioned consider the source, this article includes the same quotes but more detail on other things he said.

[h=3]Vols' Sentimore: I want to beat Saban[/h] October, 16, 2012 Oct 16

It’s not every day that an opposing player calls out Nick Saban, especially with No. 1 Alabama coming to town in a few days.

Nonetheless, Tennessee defensive end Darrington Sentimore, who started his career at Alabama, didn’t hide his ill feelings for Saban when asked Tuesday about his former coach.

Sentimore said he wishes now that he wouldn’t have signed with Alabama out of high school. He was indefinitely suspended by the Crimson Tide following the 2010 season after multiple off-the-field issues and then left the program to attend Gulf Coast (Miss.) Community College for a year.

"It's his personality," Sentimore said of Saban. "It's like some players ... he will see you in the hallway and he will walk right past you like he don't even see you. I don't like stuff like that. I ain't going to lie to you. I want this game more than any other game because I want to beat Saban.

"I have had this game on the calendar for a long time."

Sentimore went on to acknowledge that Saban runs a tight ship at Alabama.

"You can't get into no trouble. You can't get into the doghouse. You have to stay focused," Sentimore said. "If Saban sees you are focused, he will play you. Saban is on those guys. He's a defensive-minded coach. He's in the meetings and everything with the defense. It's all about the defense. You have to play for 60 minutes (against Alabama) because they are going to go hard and out-physical you. You have to play for 60 minutes.

"They want to out-think you and out-smart you. You have to study film and be on top of your game."

Saban was asked about Sentimore during his Monday press conference, which was prior to Sentimore popping off about Saban.

"He was a good player when he was here," Saban said. "We’re happy that he’s doing a good job and having success. I hope he’s doing what he needs to do off the field and in school. His problems here were not relative to being a football player, so it had nothing to do with pass rush or sacks or any of that."

When Sentimore takes his shot at the NFL in a couple of years, think he will ask Saban for a reference? Something says NFL teams will ask Saban about Sentimore, who has 10 total tackles through six games, including three sacks.
 
Sentimore said he wishes now that he wouldn’t have signed with Alabama out of high school.

Oh yeah I'm sure I would regret the chance to play for and win a BCS Championship as a freshman and be in a major winning program. Idiot. Show some class and admit you screwed up off the field so you got suspended. Don't blame the coach. He has the hey I'm an athlete and can't be touched syndrome. I bet he's majoring in Chair Stacking at UT.
 
I know right. I have a 2 year old that will turn 3 in a few weeks. Only game I would consider taking her to would be an OOC game or the A-Day game. Just too young, too many people and too many bad things that could go wrong. I hope the OP of that thread was just joking.
