If you expect TN fans to be embarrased, forget it. They know they can act like a jackass and get away with it. There only punishment is having to look at that ugly orange on their fellow fans. Wait to you see that checkerboard white or black, these guys think they invented tachy. I’ll bet wearing sun glasses doesn’t even stop it.

It is just so sad to see the level that some will go to just to “fit in” and hopefully get a few more recruits to take notice. The “gangsta” image that is being promoted in sports only gains momemtum when you have this type stuff. What about the middle schoolers watching? Sad.

Next time any UGA fan talks about how classless Tennessee is, think of this- 15 arrests last year for UGA’s football team including one for Mr. Sturdivant feeling up a pregnant lady in a bar, but Mark Richt still tries to preach values in public while he turns a blind eye to his own players. At least Tennessee doesn’t pretend to be something their not. Its the SEC (League of rednecks for those who don’t know), many adults to crazy things in recruiting.

Dawg fans are just jealous that UT has coaches who are more interesting than watching paint dry.

Bruce Pearl remind me of a scummie used car salesman…A little on the white trash side in Hillbillie country.

Ahhh, the bizarre AJC obsession with all things UT continues… I will say it again, nobody in TN talks about anything UGA at any time. Nobody cares. The only thing I can chalk it up to is the fact that Atlanta is second only to Knoxville in terms of its UT fan base.

First Kiffin with all his gaffes, insults and embarrassments, now Bruce Pearl gets in the act. Class has totally left the UT program—it’s now filled with a bunch of hucksters, acting like 10th grade idiots, but getting paid millions. UGA will destroy UT this year. Kiffin will be lucky to win 4 SEC games. But, he’s a showman, so they’ll put up with it for a few years.

UGA man is Simmons. “Pretty much ALL of the top Georgia prospects participated?” LOLOLOLOL. Where was JJames? Garrison Smith? Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. You’ll see all the top prospects at the real one.

UGA man (or should I say Dean Dawgpost), who cares about the stupid Scout combine? Go read your own website about that stupid stuff. Scout is a joke. Your daddy CS got beat on both Georgia commits Saturday. He’s slipping. The REAL combines are coming up with Nike and UA.

Bruce Pearl has shown to be a big supporter of UT athletics. He likes to cut loose and have some fun going it. Some people may be embarrased by it. I think he does his antics in a respectful manner always showing support in a positive manner. When was the last time any other men’s NCAA coach showed that type support for a women’s program at their university.
Lane Kiffin is either trying to start trouble or just needs to learn how to watch what he says. He’s in the SEC now, where every word he mutters will be used against him by the other coaches preparing their teams to meet him. We’ll see how Urban thanks Kiffen this coming fall.

First of all, that jacket is sweeeettt. Second, the story is mildly newsworthy having even been included on Sportscenter. I wouldn’t do it…probably…if I were coach, but it’s good to see the guys having fun at UT.

200 or so participants in the Scout Combine last week in Atlanta and not one article about it in the AJC. Guess they are working on their Knoxville subscription rate. Maybe the Combine was closed to the media. If so, at least some mention of that would be better than readers thinking the AJC felt a bare chested basketball coach from UT was more news worthy.

Darn, thought we could get through a week without an article on the UT strippers. How bout an article on the Scout Combine in Atlanta last week? Pretty much all the top Georgia prospects participated. Seems that would be of much more interest than some UT coach taking his shirt off?

I think it is funny how Tennessee makes the Atlanta newspaper at least once or twice a month now. I guess there is nothing worth reading about going on at Georgia. At least the VOLS can have a little fun every once in a while!

What is your obssession with this, Carvell? Why not focus more on in-state recruits instead of out-of-state recruiters? Let’s focus on the kids, not the circus. Maybe you’ve heard that one of the top players in the state is announcing today. How about an article about TJones? Or should we look for an article tomorrow on how TJones wasn’t persuaded by UT’s shirtless antics? “Wild Boys”…that’s so gay.
