Kiffin Press Conference Recap
“I look forward to celebrating and riding the Trojan horse all night long after we beat Washington State.”
If only Lane Kiffin would have lead off his USC press conference with a jab like that. Kiffin seemed very excited in his press conference and mentioned multiple times that USC was his dream job. Kiffin called USC [...]
College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Which 7-5 SEC team deserves the ACC title? Okay so maybe Georgia and South Carolina’s wins were a product of rivalry week. It’s the way that both of these teams ran through their opponents that impressed us. Any SEC fan will tell you that you have to be pretty soft up front to let South [...]
Tennessee-Kentucky Preview
Today’s Kentucky-Tennessee game comes down to the “Wild Cobb” package. Alcoa’s own Randall Cobb had only 45 total yards against the Vols last season and he admits that he may have put too much pressure on himself during that game. If the Wildcats are going to beat the Vols for the first time since 1984, [...]
Slive Keeps Acting More and More Like Selig
The SEC and Major League Baseball both have had many blown calls this season. Some of the missed calls in the ALCS were just plain embarrassing and the SEC is not much better. Instead of expanding instant replay, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig thinks it is a great idea to keep things the way they are. [...]
Tennessee-Alabama Preview
Only in the South is the Third Saturday in October played on the fourth Saturday in October. Tennessee travels to Tuscaloosa today to play No. 1 ranked Alabama at 3:30 p.m. The last time the Vols beat a team that was 7-0 or better was in 1998. As you can tell by that stat, a [...]
Can Hardesty Top 100 Yards Against Alabama?
Tennessee-Alabama kicks off at 3:30 p.m. today and Alabama’s Mark Ingram looks to continue his Heisman-like season against Tennessee’s defense. Monte Kiffin leads one of the best defenses in the SEC, but Ingram and Trent Richardson should run all over his defense. On the other side of the field, Alabama hasn’t allowed a player to [...]
Breaking News: John Wall’s Amateur Status in Question
Some people picked Kentucky freshman John Wall to be the SEC Player of the Year. Some college basketball analysts picked Wall as the National Player of the Year. Those same people might not even see him play college basketball this season. The Louisville Courier-Journal asked SEC Commissioner Mike Slive at SEC Basketball Media Day if [...]
College Football Talking Points
Let’s just say, for arguments sake, that the Vols lose again to Georgia and Crompton stinks the place up in the process (both very distinct possibilities). For the fifth week in a row the talk of the town will turn to the same QB questions that Tennessee fans were asking last year.
We’ve decided to provide [...]
Is Tennessee the New Michigan?
We can’t help but compare this year’s Tennessee team to last year’s Michigan squad. Both historically proud programs were decimated by lackadaisical practice attitudes, a fall off in recruiting, departures, injuries, and a clear lack of play makers.
Hopefully Tennessee fans won’t jump ship on this staff as quickly as that fickle bunch in Ann Arbor [...]
Georgia’s Five Best Wins over Tennessee
Tennessee is in desperation mode as the Georgia Bulldogs come to Knoxville on Saturday. The Vols can’t afford to drop to 0-3 in the SEC and the Vols need this win to stay relevant in the SEC East. Georgia has a history of ruining Tennessee’s season and The AJC has a great rundown of the [...]
