The Tennessee quarterbacks between Peyton Manning and Hendon Hooker is a very forgettable list of names. Among them is something called Erik Ainge. Ainge, for some strange reason, has his own radio show with a very clever and original name, ‘The Erik Ainge Show’. On a recent episode of the show, Ainge shot Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett. Bennett, who won a National Championship last year and is in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game this year, was called a “punk” by Ainge.
Angry Ainge Calls Successful Transfer Of Junior College QB ‘A Punk’
Eric Ainge seems like a bitter and angry man. On a recent episode of his radio show, “The Eric Ainge Show,” the former Vols quarterback called Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Stetson Bennett “a punk.”
“You know who I can’t stand? Stetson Bennett,” Ainge said. “He was nice when he first came to play and he played pretty well. And now it’s all like I’m a walk-on, I’m a transfer from JUCO, he’s 28-3 as a starter in Georgia, or something.
“I’m cheering a lot against him. I want Georgia to not just lose the game. I don’t want them to lose with Stetson Bennett throwing 4 touchdowns. I want Stetson Bennett to throw 4 interceptions and cost his team a championship. He is a punk”.
So Stetson Bennett is a punk because *checks notes* is it a successful college transfer? Understood. We’re sure Bennett will spend the next week tossing and turning, unable to sleep due to Mr. Erik Ainge’s ‘wild’ words.
Sounds like jealousy from someone whose crowning achievement is an Outback Bowl MVP and 3 weeks on the Jets’ practice squad. Also, racing stripes are not really for you. @ErikAinge3 pic.twitter.com/IS2TX4Kndw

Ainge, a former Outback Bowl MVP (lol), can’t compete with Bennett’s resume. Bennett is a national champion, CFP Championship Game Offensive MVP, SEC Championship Game MVP, and a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Bennett will look to add to his impressive college football resume when Georgia takes on TCU in the CFP National Championship on January 9.
