QB never told UT
Jonathan Crompton hesitates when asked the question.
Never one to look for pity, he's extremely uncomfortable during an interview over lunch discussing the persistent verbal attacks he received from Tennessee football fans who were disappointed by his performance last season.
Yet Crompton confirmed what the News Sentinel had been told months ago, that the cell phone calls and e-mails escalated to death threats as the Vols stumbled to a 5-7 season.
"I did have death threats," the senior quarterback reluctantly said.
Crompton said he received "a couple" of the threats, all via e-mail, as the Vols were struggling last fall.

He went to my high school and had a stellar career there - there is no satifying a Vols fan.

Nothing is finer than listening to Nashville sports radio during a Vols flame out season.

You could almost say that is football in the South. QB's catch hell down here.

Death threat via email? Isn't that fairly traceable?

You little pussy. I'm going to kill you, then hack off your gonads with a rusty machete, eat them, and spit them back in your face.
Love,

It's easy, see?
