Why’s Griff Ripping Monte???
What up with Griff ripping Monte Kiffin? Monte freaking Kiffin!!!! Is there anyone not named John Chavis that thinks that John Chavis is better at coaching defense than Monte Kiffin.
And let’s be real, the only reason that Chavis thinks that is because he’s an @$$. We’re confident in our show hosting abilities, but DP, Tony [...]
The Cost of Berry’s Heisman Campaign
Let’s get this out of the way from the beginning, Eric Berry had no chance of winning the Heisman trophy. Defensive backs on mediocre teams don’t win many individual awards.
That said the Heisman campaign for Berry has been pretty freaking clever. The best part? They did it on the cheap. Our guy Chip Kain has [...]
Why Tennessee Will Lose Their Next Four Games
Hopefully Layla cushions the blow.
The Vols step into the meat of the SEC schedule with facing a 4 game gauntlet that few could survive. First on the slate is high-octane Auburn, then Georgia, Bama, and a South Carolina team that rolled the Vols last season. Lane Kiffin’s got a tough row to hoe, and [...]
Power Rankings: Top 5 College Football Games of the Weekend
1)  Oklahoma at Miami: We said last week that if Miami finished the first 4 games of the season 2-2, it should be viewed as a success. After last week’s drubbing, we think that the fan base in Coral Gables might disagree with us. OU hasn’t allowed a point since their loss to BYU. Canes [...]
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.
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.
That’s life, though. People get fired. Most aren’t given a $6 million golden parachute [...]
What Tennessee’s Loss to UCLA Really Means
This loss was as crippling to the team as it was to the fan base. Much like the fans, this team was starting to believe that they were back and that last season was a fluke. You could tell after Crompton’s first pick that the doubts began to creep back in.Â
The offense is awful. None [...]
SEC Weekend Overreactions
Auburn looks scary. Over 500 yards in each of their first two games… Kodi Burns looks like a Gus Malzahn QB and two RB’s have topped 100 yards in each of the first two games. ESPN Chris Lowe dropped this nugget earlier: Auburn scored 6 offensive touchdowns against Mississippi State. They only scored 7 offensive [...]

What Tennessee’s Win Really Means
This game actually meant more than you’d think. WKU is the worst team in FBS football, but they’re no less talented than any number of FCS teams that played BCS conference opponents this weekend. Lane’s inaugural performance as UT’s HBC was a smashing debut. It’s not time to buy the tickets to Atlanta just yet, [...]
