Maybe Armed Robbery 101 should be mandatory for UT freshmen

So.

You’re Mike Edwards or Janzen Jackson or Nu’Keese Richardson (in photo). You’re part of a coveted freshman class recruited by first-year coach Tennessee Lane Kiffin.

Your team, the Vols, isn’t doing great, but has plenty of promise, as do your careers at UT — and possibly beyond.

So … you …

Put hoodies on and try to stick up a couple of people at a convenience store in the heart of the campus area?

Smooth move.

They got no money for their trouble — the victims had nada in their wallets — but were quickly arrested, along with their genius getaway driver, a woman found to be carrying marijuana and a marijuana grinder.

Maybe that helps explain the um … planning … that went into the armed robbery attempt.

As for Lane Kiffin, who loudly bragged about snatching Richardson away from Florida coach Urban Meyer, how’s that recruiting class looking now?
