Robinson couldn't have been real smart he got caught dealing drugs.

Print and insert your name you've earned.

I can think of a few others that did as well and went on to the pros.

Coke got its hooks into and ruined a lot of people that were very intelligent, just used bad judgement. Thankfully, for some, the hooks are not as bad or as deadly as other drugs many experimented with. That applies to people in all walks of life. The best guitar player I have ever seen had demons, when he was not using you could have in depth conversations with him on many subjects, The Bible, World/American/local History, the arts, the law, etc. He was well read and very intelligent. When he was straight he was in high demand to play in multiple peoples road bands, I could name some and you would know them. I hate he returned to drugs. They were the root cause of his heart failure that took him all to soon.

There are numerous people in the law, Judges, Nuclear Engineers, etc. who have all fell pray to the deadly siren of certain drugs and for a variety of reasons. All where highly intelligent, but used poor judgement.

Shuler had a lot of athleticism as well. In fact I’d say 2 of Fulmers top 5 games were the UGA and UF games when he filled in for Majors. He used Shuler to perfection in those 2 games !!!! Shuler just wasn’t smart enough for the NFL game but of course that lack of intelligence was more than sufficient to be a democratic politician.

Exactly

From the little I've heard about Robison in recent years he got his life in order , married and even had a kid that played football at UTM. Was using spare time to coach PeeWee football.

I never heard of Robison using drugs while playing at UT.
All of his drug and legal problems came up after he was injured and presumably after he left UT.

I'm not saying it caused him any problems (legal or otherwise), but I was at UT at the same time as Robinson and had a good friend who regularly smoked pot with Robinson.

Lots of UT jocks in a variety of sports smoked pot in the 60's and 70's

This was in the 80's, but I just wanted to set the record straight that I have it on good authority that Robinson wasn't exactly drug-free during his time in Knoxville.

So you think the practice magically stopped when the calendar changed?

I can tell you that many were not either in the 60's and 70's. Some are of public record, some are not as it appears that is true in the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's and heading into the 20's.

If you do a search there are numerous means available now to defeat most drug test. Peeing in a bottle is no fun, try doing it with someone watch. Now sometimes they want to do more than that.

You hair can tell on you, wonder why there are now people shaving their heads?

Fuzz Tennessee's had a drug problem with their football team for quite some time.

They've been drug up and down the field by the better teams in conference for almost twenty years.
