good riddance
Hound Dogs in west knoxville is collecting all the lane kiffin merchandise that has been purchased and is shipping it off to Haiti to keep those poor souls warm. what an idea.
volunteer spirit.
day 3 of sade week!
in the wake of the disastrous news pouring out of cities around the globe like knoxville and port-au-prince, we must not lose sight of the light still left in the world. namely, sade.
one thing you might NOT know, is that she's got a new album coming out next month....and i'd like to introduce you to her new song, 'soldier of love'!! (this is actually the inspiration behind sade week). i love it, and i hope you will, too.

kiffin gets it. hard.
gene wojciechowski of espn says what everyone's thinking:
If there were a stock car race between all the frauds, egomaniacs and two-faced weasels I've ever covered, Lane Kiffin would have the pole position all to himself.
Kiffin is a spin doctor without a medical degree. He thinks truth comes in different shades of gray. He demands loyalty, but gives none himself.
Kiffin is a used car salesman with a whistle. Wait, that's not fair to used car salesmen. He ditched Tennessee for USC after just 13 games. The remaining five years on his contract, the players he left behind, the nine high school recruits who enrolled early, they all meant nothing to Kiffin. (via)
thx char.

lane kiffin's a jerk.
so rumors are a-buzz all over the internet regarding the fallout of lane 'traitor' kiffin's decision to leave UT after just one year of mediocre coaching. 2Pz will do our best to keep you afloat of everything we hear, even if there is no evidence supporting it. so far:
lane kiffin never liked UT, and always wished he was coaching at USC.
In February of 2009, just a few months after Lane Kiffin's tenure began at the University of Tennessee, Vols senior center Josh McNeil walked into the Neyland-Thompson sports complex on the university campus. He paused alongside the Vols 1998 national championship trophy and shook his head in disbelief.
"They'd replaced our highlight video from the past season with Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Dwayne Jarrett from USC. I was like, 'Man, I know we were 5-7 last year, but this is Tennessee. Right beside our national title trophy? Come on, man.'"
Walking up the stairs, McNeil, a 6-foot-4 280 pound offensive lineman, says that all the televisions in the complex, at least 20, were tuned to still photos of stellar plays featuring USC athletes. In particular, McNeil paused in front of one photo of Reggie Bush diving into the end zone on a sunlit California field.
"I was thinking, 'Damn, Jamal Lewis went here. Travis Henry went here. It ain't like we never had any running backs of our own.'" (via)

last night, knoxville PD dispatched officers to guard lane kiffin's house!
having once been a member of a crazed mob of college freshmen, running from presidential courtyard to neyland stadium with the intention of tearing down our own goal posts after defeating florida to win the SEC east (the game wasn't even being held in knoxville), i have no doubt as to the vaildity of this rumor. volunteers love to rage en masse. just look at the alamo.
also last night, after lane kiffin's press conference, there was a near riot!
Hundreds of students gathered on Johnny Majors Boulevard and were blocking the road after departing Coach Lane Kiffin's statement announcing his departure. Some students apparently blocked the road with the goal of preventing Kiffin from leaving the lot.
There were signs of order breaking down--someone brought a mattress down and lit it on fire. Reporter Kris Budden said some students were burning UT apparel.
Police and firefighters were on the scene in an effort to calm the situation. The mattress was extinguished. (via)
renaldo woolridge aka swiperboy (tennessee's rapping basketvol) is tweeting updates on the mayhem.
clay travis of claynation has good twitter tweets too.
our recruiting is f'd.
the number 1 candidate to replace kiffin is likely college football's number 2 team, texas's defensive coordinator, will muschamp.
that's the strongest sentence i've ever constructed, technically speaking. here's another list of ideaz.
is this real?
that's all for now. i'm going to go tweet lane kiffin how i feel about him. more later.
