By Darrell Patterson Da'Rick Rogers, who was suspended indefinitely by Tennessee Vols head coach Derek Dooley last week, will be wearing the purple and yellow of the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles when they kick off their season Thursday night hosting Hampton University.Da'Rick, who led the SEC in receiving with 67 catches for 1,040 yards, and was second in the league with nine touchdowns last season, was in Dooley's dog-house from the get-go... we still don't know what team rules he broke most recently, prompting Dooley to essentially say enough is enough.Watson Brown, Tennessee Tech's head coach, says "this is a unique situation for me." Brown also said he knows Rogers is "a good kid who understands our expectations."In Cookeville, Rogers will be reunited with former Calhoun High School Yellowjacket teammates Tre Lamb and Adam Urbano who are both seniors.Da'Rick says this is a new beginning for him... that everyone has welcomed him with open arms, and in his words, "that's been a big thing."Click here to follow Darrell Patterson on TwitterClick here to sign up for sports e-mail alerts
