The new kid at school turned out to be a sissy

We all the remember when the new kid from California showed up at the 1st day of school. He was a tan, blond hair pretty boy that seemed a bit too arrogant for the South but we all gave him the benefit of the doubt because we are Southerners & that is what we do. Sometimes he turns out to be a good kid that shares his lunch & makes you laugh at his silly accent; sometimes he steals your girlfriend & leaves you wondering why he was ever allowed to come to your school in the first place. Well Lane Kiffin, you should of never been allowed to come to my school, shame on you Mike Hamilton. This should be no real surprise as so much is unknown about Lane Kiffin & what makes him tick. He is from Minnesota, played quarterback at Fresno State & coached at USC 2001-06. We have all been to the beaches of California & the hills of Tennessee; come on I am an alumni,season ticket holder & life long fan but I still love the beaches of California more than the hills of Tennessee. He had absolutely zero loyalty to our program & the obsession that is Tennessee football. Let's call a spade a spade; he didn't have what it took to be our coach. He is a rich kid who does whatever he wants to do without a second thought about commitment, loyalty or the consequences of his actions. He never really embraced what Tennessee football means to the people of the great state of Tennessee; it is a passion, a reason to live & a life long worship. People name their kids after great players, budget all year for their season tickets & expenses for road trips & paint their houses orange.(their is a checked board house in Benton,Tn by the Ocoee River) Lane Kiffin has taken the easy path & left our program in disarray. He will be able to compete in a weaker conference, recruit in a top 3 talent state & maybe play a SEC team in the BCS Championship....which he will lose cuz he ain't a good coach.(Southern terms used for affect) We as Tennessee Volunteer fans will pick up the pieces of our great program & move forward. You can kick us while we are down because we will NOT be there long! I believe Mike Hamilton should be fired for putting all of our trust into a rich kid with no loyalty. As far as our coach is concerned, I am fine with Kippy Brown as he is an honorable man with real ties to Tennessee & he lives it like we do. It probably won't happen but I would be fine with it. Get ready for a wild, humbling few years but like the USA, we will rise again to be team to fear around the world or the SEC! It is still great to be a Tennessee Vol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, let us all wish for the NCAA to levy 5yrs of probation, loss of numerous scholarships & post season ban of Mr. Dick Kiffin's new team!
Cheers,

Google-Double Secret Probation & Alabama is there

The 2009 college football season is sadly over & even more sad is a team on probation was crowned the 2009 BCS National Champions......The University of Alabama. In 2002 the NCAA placed Alabama on probation for 5 years for the illegal recruiting of Memphis Trezevant High's Albert Means. Means was a 5 star defensive lineman that was a lock to be a great college player. Alabama booster Logan Young(who has since been brutally murdered) paid Trezevant High's football coach Lynn Lang $200,000 to steer Means to Alabama, which he did. Ironically, Means never started for Alabama & later transferred to University of Memphis where he had a marginal career at best. Alabama was also required to reduce 21 scholarships over 3yrs & banned from postseason. Paul Dee, the NCAA's chair of committee on Infractions was quoted" I pray that I never see the University of Alabama before this committee again!" Strong words but not worth the air he used to say them. In June of 2009 Alabama would once again be put on probation for a major violation. It would be discovered that during 2005-07 while still serving probation from the other major violation, student athletes including football players were guilty of obtaining free textbooks for other students. Granted, it was university wide involving 16 sports teams, not just the football team but still a major violation. They would be forced to vacate 21 football wins from the 2005-007 seasons & placed on 3 more years of probation.....but no scholarships were lost & they were NOT banned from postseason play. Way to go Paul Dee, you really taught them a lesson....NOT! Lack of institutional control is the buzz word of the NCAA, obviously Nick Saban has the coaching control as evidence of the past two 12-0 regular season records. You know really who should be pissed off.....Auburn fans! They were on probation in 1993 for cheating & went 11-0 finishing #4 in the country because they were banned from t.v. & post season play. What is up with the state of Alabama? Nothing else to do down there but cheat to gain an advantage in college football? I find it horrible that a program can be awarded a National Championship while serving probation for major violations; talk about rewarding bad behavior. I know what some are thinking about my beloved Tennessee Volunteers & the recent violations but the truth of the matter is secondary violations don't amount to more than a slap on the wrist & every team in the country breaks theses rules from time to time. Hell, the manual on recruiting is 500+ pages thick. So Alabama enjoy your 8th not 13th National Championship & keep on singing that dumbass Yella Hammer song all the while you are still on probation until June 2012 for breaking the major rules. Go job, cheaters do win & I'm sure you will be just as good next year. If I was your staff, I would ramp up the cheating efforts as the NCAA must be scared of you. Well, the Big Orange Nation isn't, so kick us while we are down because we won't be there long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
