Let Berry Run Through the “T”
If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Knoxville radio the past month, here were the popular topics: black jerseys, Layla Kiffin, suspended players and Eric Berry’s last game in Neyland Stadium. Former Tennessee coach Doug Dickey started a tradition in 1965 against Army that has the band form a “Power ‘T’” as the [...]
Kansas Needs Phillip Fulmer
Ever since he was hired at Kansas in 2002, Mark Mangino has made Kansas football relevant. Before 2002, all Kansas fans cared about was college basketball and college basketball recruiting. Mangino is a great offensive mind that helped lead Oklahoma to a national championship in 2000 as their offensive coordinator. The ironic part is that [...]
Three Arrested Vols to Miss Ole Miss Game
Even though some Tennessee fans were hoping this morning that safety Janzen Jackson would play against Ole Miss on Saturday, Tennessee spokeswoman Tiffany Carpenter says the Vols will travel to Oxford without Jackson, freshman wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson and defensive back Mike Edwards. The three freshmen were charged with attempted armed robbery for demanding money [...]
Just Like We Told You: West Out at Memphis
It started with a pathetic attempt at humor and it ends with Tommy West losing his job. Memphis fired coach Tommy West two days after losing 56-28 to Tennessee.

College Football: Weekend Overreactions
This was a “wheat from the chaff” weekend. We’ve gotten rid of a good portion of the overrated bunch that clogging the top of the polls.
Only Alabama has consistently looked good. Maybe we’re being a little too hard on Florida. They were an uncharacteristic Tebow fumble and a crap celebration call from being up 30-6 [...]
Did Monte Figure Out the Spread?
We’ve spoken ad nauseum about smartfootball.com this season and we’ll keep doing it as long as they keep dropping fat knowledge like this on us. Monte Kiffin’s recipe for slowing down the dreaded spread option of Florida may be the beginning of defenses catching up to the zone read game and the many variations thereof.
How Tennessee Kept It Close
Lane Kiffin wasn’t right. The Vols didn’t win, and let’s get this straight, it was a double digit loss made to look much closer by an uncharacteristic fumble and a crap celebration penalty call that kept the touchdown drive alive.
Nonetheless, Big Orange Nation will take it. The mighty Gators had promised a butt whipping and [...]
RIP Phillip Fulmer’s Coaching Career
If you saw Jamey’s post about Phillip Fulmer speaking at the Daytona QB Club you were probably left with a bad taste in your mouth. Phillip Fulmer is bitter. Try as he may to hide it, the man had his feelings hurt.
