Tennessee: WTH?

Hey everyone. The fun keeps on coming.

ESPN now is reporting that Lane Kiffin, the affable Tennessee coach, has agreed to a deal with Southern Cal. So he'd be gonzo from Rocky Top.

How bummed are Tennessee fans?

I don't expect you to be sympathetic. Auburn fans and (our few resident) Alabama sympathists have this in common: Feeling at least moderate disdain toward UT.

Next coach at UT? Thoughts?

Seanzie said...: True enough.; 8:47 PM
Seanzie said...: I'm surprised they haven't burned the place down.; 8:48 PM
Unknown said...: I would think Gran would love FSU. Who wouldn't want to work for a guy named Jimbo?; 8:48 PM
Unknown said...: Anyone buy the Carroll they would have already done something already comment?; 8:49 PM
digger4au said...: I think the Vol AD would PP
You know go for Peterson or Patterson.
either one one fit in well at Tenn.; 8:50 PM
Miller said...: So.... what does this do to UT recruiting?

I bet those 10 recruits that enrolled yesterday are kicking themselves.; 8:50 PM
Seanzie said...: I bet they're seriously pissed.; 8:51 PM
digger4au said...: If they had somewhere to go they could get out couldn't they?; 8:51 PM
stupup74 said...: Lane Kiffin did the impossible: He made Al Davis look sane.; 8:51 PM
wtc said...: Kiffin, Kiffin, Chow, Orgeron.

That is not a bad start for a staff; 8:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: they had 10 recruits enroll yesterday? Is it too late for them to back out?; 8:52 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: not a bad start at all, wtc.; 8:52 PM
Unknown said...: I really never considered the possibility of USCw going after Kiffikin. I am still kind of shocked. Him getting Norm Chow to come back makes a lot of sense.; 8:52 PM
CHB said...: G, I'm sure you could just walk up to the window and get them.; 8:52 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: It's sold out CH

I called this when the news first came out... but even I didn't believe myself.; 8:53 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Sold out.; 8:53 PM
FSJ said...: Did they enroll today or is it tomorrow?; 8:53 PM
wtc said...: JayG-Tougher tix than I thought. i do not have any myself.; 8:54 PM
wtc said...: UK has two freshmen from AL that start.; 8:55 PM
chip chip said...: wtc, who would be the head coach?; 8:55 PM
stupup74 said...: I think UT probably sends big time feelers out to Gruden. I would not be 100 percent surprised to see if they kicked the tires on Tony Dungy (who has been mentioned in the USF opening).

Calhoun was almost hired at UT, but they went with Kiffin. He was a close, close second. Don't be fooled by the academy football he has to play at Air Force, he is smart, smart football coach.; 8:55 PM
E-Bro said...: He sure is putting together that staff fast. Makes you wonder.

Yesterday, Rich Neuheisal was gaining the upper hand in the Battle of Los Angeles.

Today, he lost his offensive coordinator to the Caputlets.; 8:55 PM
wtc said...: Good question.; 8:55 PM
Seanzie said...: Lol @ Capulets.; 8:56 PM
stupup74 said...: I have 4 tickets to the Auburn v. Kentucky game. They were a Christmas present for my dad. Now I am afraid I will have to work. I am pissed.; 8:56 PM
E-Bro said...: How may fans at this weekend's game will be Kentucky fans, percentage wise?

Anybody take a guess?; 8:56 PM
FSJ said...: LOL at this nugget from Volchat..

Posted: Today 9:49 PM
It ought to take UT like 1.3 hours to get over this...
You're a stud who got snookered into marrying a hooker. She's run off with a guy who's about to be diagnosed with leprosy. There are MANY good women anxious to help you find redemption.

Luckiest day of your life; 8:57 PM
digger4au said...: I would guess 70% or more; 8:58 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Stu: My wife and daughter will be happy to sit with your peeps!; 8:58 PM
CHB said...: 60/40 UK; 8:58 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: UT AD Hamilton on recent events: "Uh, I think we're going to need a bigger boat."; 8:58 PM
FSJ said...: with that staff (especially the coordinators)....Lane Kiffin is nothing more than an overpaid recruiting coordinator.; 8:58 PM
Unknown said...: "The server at www.volnation.com is taking too long to respond."

I wonder if there could be some fans online?; 8:59 PM
Kathy said...: According to twitter Urban Meyer is in need of a heart valve replacement.; 8:59 PM
CHB said...: G, Since I'm still new to the blog I don't know your affiliations very well. I can tell you are a UK fan, but who is your football team?; 8:59 PM
Seanzie said...: Jay's favorite football team is Manchester United.; 9:01 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Who's account Kathy?; 9:01 PM
CHB said...: Side Girls, until your change your pic there is no way I even notice the words in your posts.; 9:01 PM
wtc said...: Almost 18,000 on the Rivals message board for UT.; 9:01 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm a Kentucky grad and I keep an eye on the basketball team, sure.

I've been covering sports so long that watching games aren't fun for me. Soccer and NASCAR is all I've got, honestly.; 9:01 PM
CHB said...: until you; 9:01 PM
Bellefay1 said...: http://www.wivk.com/; 9:01 PM
E-Bro said...: Glory, Glory Man United! And the Reds go marching on! On! On!; 9:02 PM
CHB said...: So do you pull for Auburn at all?; 9:02 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: We've been watching a lot of Tottenham Hotspur football here lately. My daughter loves Peter Crouch and I like Aaron Lennon quite a bit.; 9:02 PM
Anonymous said...: Nice pull Seanzie....and on that note...Baltimore one of the city finalists for the 2018 2022 World Cup USA bid; 9:02 PM
stupup74 said...: Jay,

I am not 100 percent certain I will have to miss the game, but if I do, I will try and help you out.

If I can help you, I will email you, no kidding.; 9:02 PM
Bellefay1 said...: He just said USC is the only place i'd leave UT for, thanks for the time and he's out.

Didn't answer as question.; 9:02 PM
Turfman said...: I would be very suprised if Gruden turned down ND just to turn around and accept the HC job at UT. Peterson, Patterson, Mullen, Whittingham, Holtz, and Schiano is the group IMO.; 9:02 PM
Seanzie said...: Who's your driver, Jay G?; 9:02 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Nope. I have no real affiliation with Auburn. I just cover 'em.; 9:03 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: It's the Layla (and Lane) Kiffin path to success, CHB; 9:03 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Stu, you will be paid quickly and handsomely should it come to that.; 9:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Well I can say that I actually saw Lane Kiffin coach UT; 9:03 PM
Bellefay1 said...: Seriously, he spoke for mabye 20 seconds...the reporters cried for him to answer anything and he did his "Sexual Chocolate" impression and ran out.

Wow.; 9:03 PM
E-Bro said...: JayG...she better hate Lennon and Crouch come June 12 when the US and England face off.; 9:04 PM
ehyou said...: They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's oh so sad....; 9:04 PM
Unknown said...: It is from pre-Kiffikin, but in a bit of ironic irony, this link has a post about Pete Carroll possibly going to Tennessee. Yes, they do drink hard liquor in Tennessee.; 9:04 PM
Bellefay1 said...: Security called in to control the students.; 9:04 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Desmond Howard on ESPN News and UT's feeling of betrayal given Lane Kiffine's "acheivements" in 2009: "... they played Auburn tough" (among others).

We'll take it (I think); 9:05 PM
wtc said...: SIde Girls-did you say something?; 9:05 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: E-Bro ... we support USNT in all cases.; 9:05 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: This is the real reason for Lane's depature to USC ----------------->; 9:06 PM
Miller said...: 1)
Yes, UT had 10 recruits that were to enroll in Spring semester... 8 had enrolled as of yesterday, 1 was to arrive today, and 1 more was supposed to arrive tomorrow....

Unless they are JuCo kids, they haven't signed anything binding... so yes, they could drop out of UT and go elsewhere if they so choose.

2) Heart valve issues are what I figured Meyer's problem to be... he has very similar symptoms to what I deal with day to day....; 9:07 PM
Kathy said...: Wake, I went back to see who's account it was, but when I typed in his name, the place went crazy with reports of Urban at the basketball game and the Kiffen news. It's buried too deep now.; 9:07 PM
FSJ said...: D. Miller..

Didn't know you had those issues. Hope you are doing well.; 9:07 PM
E-Bro said...: JayG...good to know.

HABOTN World Cup viewing party anybody?; 9:07 PM
Bellefay1 said...: He really said he left the program in better shape then when he found it.

You can't make this kind of stuff. What an ass.; 9:08 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm taking vacation during at least the first week of the World Cup ... to watch the World Cup.

I'll be bloggin it. Damn right.; 9:08 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Atlanta also a finalist for Host city for the US's world cup bid.; 9:08 PM
FSJ said...: I heard Kiffin wouldn't allow cameras in...Is this true?; 9:09 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm hearing cameras all over at Kiffin's thing.; 9:09 PM
Michael Seale said...: percentage of UK Fans-10-20%. Even if we do lose big, they are doing the outback trophy at halftime. Anyone think trooper will interview for the UT Job?; 9:10 PM
FSJ said...: Just going by what they were saying on a Vol board.

I wonder why ESPN news didn't televise this live...They said they didn't have video..; 9:10 PM
CHB said...: It's gotten so bad in Tenn. that they are setting off fire alarms at the Grizzlies game.; 9:10 PM
FSJ said...: Fearless.

I hope he gets the job.; 9:11 PM
Bellefay1 said...: FSJ.

From what I'm reading...some news director wouldn't agree to whatever terms Kiffin wanted so basically we just got a recorded version of the press with no video.

Kiffin came, spoke for literally 30 seconds and just did and exit stage right.; 9:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Will Trooper Taylor interview for which job? Do you mean the HC?; 9:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'd love to see a statewide riot, from Memphis to Knoxville, over this. Burning cars and all would be great.; 9:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Tell me you don't mean HC.; 9:12 PM
FSJ said...: Bellefay1,

That makes sense then.. Thanks; 9:12 PM
E-Bro said...: Blogging the World Cup on HABOTN?

Sweet. Although that means I'll have to stay away from this place on weekdays if I'm working, though I will most assuredly taking vacation on days that the US plays.

Otherwise, my DVR will be in overdrive every day in June and early July.; 9:13 PM
CHB said...: FSJ, are the walmartians scared of our recruiting? I don't think Trooper will be a HC anytime soon. He needs a OC job 1st. I think he is learning everything he can from CGM and when he leaves next yr or the next he will be our next OC.; 9:13 PM
Michael Seale said...: i was joking around....not in a million years do i believe he actually would; 9:13 PM
E-Bro said...: Sorry, I'll dial down the soccer talk now.; 9:14 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Whew. Thanks, Fearless.; 9:14 PM
Anonymous said...: LAME LANE; 9:14 PM
FSJ said...: ESPN News just showed the clip..

That was QUICK.; 9:14 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: The meltdown headlines on Volquest are so very entertaining.

"This is what you get when you hire whores"

Especially whores that long for the big city lights; 9:15 PM
Anonymous said...: No questions taken.

How Lame!! He is on a flight to get out of TN I am sure!; 9:15 PM
shesaid said...: 1. Lane Kiffin leave UT for USC.

2. A fire alarm goes off at the Grizzlies bball game.

3. A 7.0 scale earthquake hits Haiti.

What's #4 gonna be?; 9:16 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: TN Fans don't really have access to SAMs, do they?; 9:16 PM
CHB said...: I still can't wrap my brain around this. I dont' understand either side of this. What has Kiffin done but make himself look stupid since he got to TN. He is the only person ever to make Al Davis look smart (very hard to do). On the Kiffin side why would he leave a top SEC program for a program that by all accounts will be on probation soon.; 9:17 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Mike Blanc has a lot of peeps in Haiti ...; 9:17 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I guess everyone in Chattanooga will be burning their "Lane Train" shirts.; 9:17 PM
wtc said...: They are already getting reactions from the recruits that are committed. Some are opening the recruitment back up. not saying they are leaving but one even said he may visit USC next weekend.; 9:18 PM
E-Bro said...: RK...like I said earlier. Can't wait to watch the local news tonight.; 9:19 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Can Kiffin pull a Calipari and take all of his recruits with him?; 9:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Well I guess most coaches turned USC down due to what might happen next month and they settled for having Monte...errr Lane.

Maybe the Vol hostesses put in a good word for him.; 9:20 PM
E-Bro said...: Have to say, I'm concerned for Lane's safety tonight.

And I'm only half-joking (ok, maybe a quarter joking).; 9:20 PM
Turfman said...: Heard something a minute ago about Muschamp from a little bird...; 9:20 PM
chip chip said...: maybe rich rod will bail on um to come be bammer's nemisis @ ut. i think he would get more buy in and the right type of athlete to run his offense in the south. it just doesn't seem to be working at meeechegun.; 9:20 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Schlabach always has the answers. The fact that they're always the wrong answers doesn't discourage his snide, condescending delivery. It's quite a gift.; 9:20 PM
chip chip said...: he better not try to fly out of the knoxville airport. i'd drive a few towns over and jump a charter jet.

send a truck for any of my stuff that is left after the riot.; 9:22 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Some of my favorite side girls are Vol hostesses. They need a shoulder to cry on now, boys (unofficially, of course).; 9:22 PM
Michael Seale said...: Muschamp and Harbaugh are the names i saw when i checked their message boards on rivals....no way they get muschamp; 9:23 PM
E-Bro said...: Turfman...what did the bird say?; 9:25 PM
chip chip said...: one thing i can say for AU is we don't lose head coaches to other teams. all of our guys seem to exceed expectations and then go out in some kind of fantastic implosion for the ages in a short period of time.; 9:26 PM
Miller said...: Someone clear up a recruiting rule for me..... WTC.....

If a HS recruit graduates early and enrolls for the spring semester... do they sign LOI's when the Dec grad JuCo kids do? I thought they didn't officially sign their LOI until February with everyone else....; 9:26 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I was thinking about that earlier Chip Chip. Who was the last coach to leave Auburn for another gig? Has it ever happened? It had to be pre-depression.; 9:27 PM
Bellefay1 said...: I thought this was a good putting it from a UT fan I just read.

"Lane Kiffin leaving us is like getting divorced by a stripper."; 9:28 PM
Unknown said...: This stinks for recruits, but I can't imagine a worse time for a coach to leave a football team. With 3 weeks to go until signing day, the players have enough time to reconsider, but even if they find a replacement head coach within a week, it would be a hard sell for him with basically not staff.; 9:29 PM
chip chip said...: heisman coached at more places than kiffin.; 9:30 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: My research shows it would be Chuck Wynne who left to Kentucky, whether he was fired or chose to leave I have no clue, but he did win the SEC here so I guess he chose to leave.; 9:30 PM
Bellefay1 said...: http://voltalk.com/rock.jpg

Bad words in the picture from UT's campus.; 9:31 PM
Unknown said...: Donahue left Auburn for another gig, if I recall correctly.; 9:31 PM
E-Bro said...: Some are saying Muschamp's already been offered the job.; 9:31 PM
autiger6 said...: This just in..... Houston Nutt has withdrawn his name from consideration of the UT job. Man is Tubs kicking himself now with a UT job opening.; 9:32 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Bellefay, what's your site?; 9:32 PM
Unknown said...: Dear Tennessee Fans,

I really do appreciate all of you and your support. By the way, bend over. I am leaving and I am going to gut the coaching staff.

Love,
Kiffikin; 9:33 PM
Bellefay1 said...: http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx8/govols1234/Unnamed.jpg

Alot more cuss words and disparaging comments that might come from some lubricated students that are pissed off.

Glad to see they're taking it well.; 9:34 PM
E-Bro said...: Rich Brooks is unemployed.; 9:34 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA; 9:34 PM
chip chip said...: the guy i see in ut's commits i would like AU to get a shot at is juwan james ol from ga. committed to bammer in summer and switched to ut midseason or so. he was one of the top linemen on our board and $aban had him committed before we got a chance. maybe we can get back in.; 9:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Donahue? I have relatives that hadn't even immigrated to America when he was coaching.; 9:35 PM
Unknown said...: Bellefay1, somehow I don't think we will see that photo on ESPN. Kiffikin better run.; 9:36 PM
Unknown said...: Auburn has had 5 head coaches since, what, 1955? We don't have a high turnover rate.; 9:37 PM
Bellefay1 said...: PeterFrankenschmidt

Is it kosher to post links to websites we're affiliated with?; 9:38 PM
Unknown said...: And Heisman at Auburn was prior to Donahue.; 9:38 PM
mytommyd said...: Man, and I thought it was crazy when we fired the current head coach at Texas Tech! Maybe we Auburn fans aren't as maniacal as everyone thinks; 9:38 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I think so if asked.; 9:38 PM
WDCWE said...: I just want to say publicly that this is BEAUTIFUL. Just Beautiful.; 9:39 PM
Unknown said...: Bellefay1, Jay G. doesn't seem to mind links to credible sources as long as they are given credit. Opinion blogs seem to be less appreciated.; 9:39 PM
chip chip said...: i'm just glad tubs is already at ttu. somehow, i think he would be a decent fit at ut. actually maybe better than ttu. sexton is probably kicking himself. but at least ttu is new to dealing with his shenannigans. he should be able to rob them blind if he has a few good seasons early on.; 9:39 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Kiffin is gonna tear it up at USC man; 9:40 PM
autiger6 said...: So what is USC's logic? They know the NCAA hammer is about to fall and the hire a WALKING SECONDARY VIOLATION?; 9:40 PM
mytommyd said...: This is nuts!!! Urban retires, then doesn't then takes a leave of absence. Leavitt fired, Leach fired, Kiffin splits out west. Dogs and cats living together! It's madness!!; 9:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Steve, you leaving Brother Oliver and the current coach out of your 5 since 55?; 9:42 PM
chip chip said...: yeah, tear up the rulebook and get them the death penalty.; 9:42 PM
Unknown said...: CTT might be good for UT because of the discipline he would bring. We didn't have the player issues that Tennessee had with Fulmer. I just can't really see Tuberville wanting a high pressure job. He doesn't really need it. Texas Tech seems like more of the environment I see him in in terms of pressure, although from what I have seen from the landscape there, I am surprised he would want to live there.; 9:43 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: People are in denial if you dont think Kiffin is gonna be succesful at USC; 9:43 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, I don't reall count Interim coaches, but that is a good point. Brother Oliver was the man for a little while.; 9:43 PM
FSJ said...: I won't link it due to the foul language..but apparently the rock that UT students paint on campus now has a nice message for Lane.; 9:44 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: No one is going to be overly successful on probation. If the hammer falls its gonna be rough for him. And even if they aren't already, he will put them on probation.; 9:45 PM
Unknown said...: jhag, with Chow as OC and Monty Kiffikin as the DC, Kiffikin's wife could be a successful head coach there, and might do better in recruiting.; 9:45 PM
E-Bro said...: jhag,,,maybe so, but what's gonna happen if the NCAA comes in and tears things apart first?; 9:45 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Already been linked FSJ; 9:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Good game on ESPN right now.; 9:45 PM
wtc said...: Dmiller-Event though a HS senior has enrolled early, he did not sign the LOI and therefore can leave anytime.; 9:45 PM
Bellefay1 said...: Steve...my site is just a fan accessible site that let's normal folks write what they feel about what's going on in sports so i'll refrain. No one claims to know anything by any means.

In a related, gossip filled night...anyone pumped to see how Conan goes tonight?; 9:46 PM
mytommyd said...: jhag - with the coaching staff they say that's going to be there, SC may be near the top again very soon.; 9:46 PM
Unknown said...: The NCAA really should allow players to transfer when their head coach leaves. The players tend to get screwed as much as anyone when something like this happens.; 9:47 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: nah, he was asking if he could link his personal site for me because I asked him what it was, not about linking articles and stuff.; 9:47 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Denial, thy name is Mark McGwire. On Espn News talking about his swing, stance, and how he developed them without steroids. Huh? So, the juice didn't help you get back on the field and/or hit the ball farther? Delusional.; 9:48 PM
chip chip said...: if he can still win at uscw with bammer like sanctions in place, i'll be impressed. if the ncaa whiffs and does nothing, they will return to being a steam roller in the p10 with the ol' coaches back plus diddy k.; 9:48 PM
Unknown said...: Bellefay1, I would talk to Jay and see what he says. I just know there are some links he doesn't like. I am by no means an authority on that policy. I just try to avoid anything I think would rub Jay the wrong way.

I did find an example of what Jay dislikes on another site where someone linking to one of Jay's photos or videos and didn't credit him. Something like that is sure to piss him off, and justifiably so.; 9:49 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: my opinion on the Comm'r, is that steroids don't help a guy like Big Mac hit homers so much, as have the stamina to hit more.; 9:49 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: They are going to have the best coaching staff in the nation in the most appealing city in the nation with a young coach with NFL ties that kids from Cali will love because of his "swagger" Kiffin will be epic at USC IF they stay out of trouble; 9:50 PM
mytommyd said...: Does the ncaa have the nads to do anything more than slap usc on the wrist?; 9:50 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: nevermind. forget I asked what your site was. Steve's gonna be an authority on such things and make you feel uncomfortable.; 9:50 PM
API said...: Yeah - Donahue left us to go to LSU. Sad day.

Wifey yelled from upstairs that Kiffy was going to USC. I asked her if it was a joke? Then logged on to HABOTN to validate. The six seal of the apocalypse has been broken.; 9:51 PM
Unknown said...: Bellefay1, if it is your personal site and you are just wanting to pass PF a link, Jay would probably not care unless there was some seriously objectionable material. That is just my opinion though. I am no authority.; 9:51 PM
E-Bro said...: That's a big if jhag.; 9:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm with you jhag. A lot depends on what the NCAA does, but if the punishment is minor, he's gonna make waves out there with that staff.; 9:52 PM
Unknown said...: PF, as usual, you are a liar. I answered a question and said I wasn't an authority. Please grow up.; 9:52 PM
E-Bro said...: Tie game in Gainesville.; 9:53 PM
wtc said...: great game on espn. Can't believe UF has come back.; 9:53 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Kiffin would give me a heart attack as an AD trying to make sure my program stays off the NCAA's radar, though.; 9:53 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Peter: How many cases of Beast Light have you had tonight?? 'Roids make every athlete stronger, faster, better. McGwire could hit HRs w/out roids but he hit allot more with them.

And just look how fast and powerfullly I'm typing - it's the HGH laced PBR.; 9:53 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 9:54 PM
E-Bro said...: Steve-PF. What is this? Round 108 between y'all?; 9:55 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Him in that LA spotlight is lethal; 9:55 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: PF: Steve says he's actually not an authority. I'd trust him on that. I have it on good authority he's not.; 9:55 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks API. I was thinking it was LSU, but was uncertain.

As for Bama, one of their more successful coaches early last century left for Duke, if I recall correctly.; 9:55 PM
wtc said...: AU is gonna get waxed this Saturday by UK.; 9:55 PM
Unknown said...: Isn't Auburn playing on ESPN Thursday? I thought someone mentioned that.; 9:56 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Comm'r, yeah, but the help with someone like him isn't so much power. He's always had power. He hit a lot of homers long before he got all jacked up, so he didn't need a lot more power. He needed more stamina and recovery time, which the juice gave him. I'm not saying it didn't increase his power, just that that wasn't necessarily that great of benefit for someone like him. Others, yes.; 9:57 PM
E-Bro said...: Steve...ESPN2 at 7:00 Eastern.; 9:57 PM
wtc said...: Steve-they paly UT on espn 2 Thursday night, i believe.; 9:58 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks, E-Bro.; 9:58 PM
FSJ said...: Steve that would be Wallace Wade.; 9:58 PM
Unknown said...: Thanks FSJ. You are right. That is the name I was thinking of. I ran across it because there was actually a Rose Bowl played at Duke back during WWII. I believe Wade was the Duke coach.; 9:59 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Just look what happened to Tubberville when he stopped juicing. Lost 15lbs of muscle and his game went to shit. Good to see he's back on regular cycles for this Texas Tech gig. He'll need it.; 9:59 PM
wtc said...: Later folks. Gotta run 4 miles Wednesday AM. Gonna be cold. @ 24 degrees.; 10:00 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Mark_Schlabach said it best "The NCAA is in our backyard, so let's hire...."; 10:01 PM
Unknown said...: Goodnight wtc.; 10:01 PM
FSJ said...: Yeah..I believe Wade took UA and Duke to the Rose Bowl.

Their stadium is named after him. A road is named after him next to the UA stadium.; 10:01 PM
Unknown said...: Apparently nobody payed attention to what Al Davis had to say about Kiffikin. He is apparently still a hot commodity.; 10:02 PM
Unknown said...: I just couldn't imagine the Rose Bowl being played in Durham, but it was apparently because they feared a Japanese attack on the west coast at any large gathering.; 10:03 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Steve,
Screw you with you Liar and Grow Up comments. Nobody asked you anything in that situation, but you posted multiple responses. You think that doesn't make you look like you have knowledge as an authority, fine, but don't be shocked when I post a sarcastic comment about it. You've called me out as a liar more than once when I've been able to go back and prove that was I was saying was right. What do you do? Run away and pretend the conversation never happened. Take some of your own advice.; 10:04 PM
FSJ said...: That's right Steve..

I remember reading that now.; 10:04 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Coaches leaving Bama is not as rare, Perkins and Fran come to mind immediately.; 10:04 PM
