All you pale faced, overweight, internet bloggers kill me. while u were surfing the site getting Dunkin Donut glaze on ur keyboard, you failed to read the part where the recruits were talking about how much that little “fiasco” as you call it got them hyped up about TN FOOTBALL! each and everyone of them liked the feeling they got from that and in my opinion that was a great recruiting strategy! hey, whatever works, Dont get mad and think you got to bash Kiffin or his staff because while he is making millions on these little schemes of his, you fat armchair QB’s are sittin in front of your computer screen sucking the filling out of twinkies while tryin to bash a coach for his recruiting tactics. I have never seen such a display of jealousy and that makes me feel proud to be a VOL!

Hey all you rabid SEC fans, do you know that Lane’s father (Monte) coached at NC State in the early 80’s? Guess what? He did the same stupid stunts. After 3 seasons of 0.500 football, he got fired. I’ve talked with many SEC fans at work, etc., but no one has made the connection between what Lane is doing and what his father did. Do your research, you country bumpkins!

Hey Adam, I wouldn’t be too concerned right now about what Bama, Gator, Ga Fans think. Son, I’d be worried about Kentucky and Vandy fans! You better not make those guys mad or else they’re gonna have a piece of you too! And who exactly is your quarterback again??? HAHAHAHAHAHA. But thats OK, Im sure you recruited another Peyton Manning to come in and save you. Oh, you didn’t??? But you DID get some guy from Fla named Nukee. Let it be a lesson to you son, never take another mans Nukee! Boy, can’t wait to see THAT guy go over the middle against Fla! Son, the college football world isn’t laughing WITH you, they are all laughing AT you!!! And the reason I keep calling you son?? It’s because I AM your DADDY!

You guys speak with such hatred, you fear what you do not know or understand, and the fact that you can’t see a good thing depresses me. I give props when props are due, even if this were another school, even in the SEC, I would say to myself that it was a great way to get exposure, hell, a paper that is supposed to be covering YOUR schools is giving us well needed publicity, much appreciated AJC. You just wish your coach would have done it first. Next thing you know Nick will be participating in 7 on 7’s and Urban will be doing cartwheels, and Richt, well he will just keep having his swimming pool parties. GO VOLS!!!

Can’t wait for all the Bama fans, Gator fans, and Georgia fans to be proven wrong. Only a matter of time before we are the class of the SEC and possibly the nation. It worked, the recruits loved it. Enthusiasm never hurt anyone, and we are displaying that we have more of it than anyone else and it will pay off in due time. As far as X’s and O’s, need I mention Monte Kiffin? Lane is a very bright man, which some of you are failing to see or just don’t want to give him credit for it. I know this for sure, if it were you’re school doing it, you would be smiling ear to ear just like I am. It’s crazy, it sounds like most of you guys are scared. GO VOLS!!!

One of the kids said, “That’s just how they go.”
He should have added, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
I guess they can go out afterwards and grind up on some Ho’s to convince themselves they aren’t really gay.

Hey, “lame is the man”, (Could you be anymore of a hillbilly?), you sound like a child that just got his new Christmas Huffy bicycle trashed by the neigborhood bullies when referring to other posts from non hillbillies about your new found hero, Lame. You’ll, no doubt, be one of the ones calling for his head after 2 years of getting his eyes beat shut by opposing SEC teams.

Personally, the hiring of Lil’ Lame has been great where I’m concerned.
Listening to his sophmoric approach to coaching and watching his childlike antics during his pressers have been extremely entertaining, kinda like watching a circus clown. You guys think he’s your answer? Only if you believe chimps can perform brain surgery! It’s with morbid delight that I’ll enjoy watching this trainwreck as it happens. But, hey, he’s bringing recognition Hillbilly U, right?

Lane Kiffin’s salary… 2,000,000.00

I love it! You guys are scared to death! UT is behind the 8-ball in recruiting. We just don’t have the in state talent. This why you pay coaches millions. To get the best talent and then coach em up. If the shoe was on the other foot you would be slobbering on yourself. YOu GA heathens didn’t have problem when your kids bum rushed the endzone against UF. But now it’s not so cool. Just tell the truth, you’re worried about UT now.

No he didn’t. Yes he did. No he didn’t. Yes he did .. along with his limo driver. Coach can’t fire the AD. Yes he can. He fired the president.
Welcome to the SEC, Coach Kiffin, or rather, Lord of the Flies.
