KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Jim Bob Cooter was suspended indefinitely Monday after campus police arrested him on a drunken-driving charge.

Coach Philip Fulmer cited a violation of team rules. He said Cooter will miss the season opener Sept. 2 against California and undergo an alcohol evaluation before he can return.

"Jim Bob has let the team down and embarrassed himself and his family by his actions," Fulmer said. "He has benefited greatly by being part of the Tennessee family, and with that comes great responsibility for his actions."

Cooter was arrested Saturday after campus officers noticed a sports utility vehicle crossing the center line and driving on the wrong side of the street, according to a campus police report. Cooter failed three field sobriety tests.

No indication yet whether or not Decody Fagg was anywhere near Cooter's vehicle.

The coach's quote was right on the money, though. Actually sounded like he meant it.

This is another in a surprisingly long list of athletes with off the field problems for UT. Fulmer needs help with discipline. I personally know one of the athletes that was suspended and I was shocked to say the least.
