A little more on Kiffin and Meyer (by request)

Well, I do believe that the whole “Kiffin-Gate” thing is getting a little out of hand now, not that I am really all that surprised. I still stand by my comments of the other day, that while the Blackjack General may have been wrong about the rule, his comments have had the desired effect.

Take for instance the fact that Gregg Doyel (who attended Florida, is known for loving to tick people off, looks remarkably like Anthony Edwards from ER, and apparently cannot spell either of his names correctly) who probably could have given damn about the Tennessee Volunteers at this point in time, is ventilating at full tilt. This has led Doyel to conclude, among other things, that: 1) Kiffin should be fired immediately; 2) Tennessee fans are “stupid people” (especially VASF donors); and 3) Kiffin is an “idiot,” “bufoon,” and “dumb.” Doyel also concludes that, as the opposite of “Urban” Meyer everyone should refer to Tennessee’s head coach as “Rural” Kiffin. That has to be one of the dumbest plays on words I’ve heard in a while. Others, have been more complimentary, including Bruce Feldman and the guys at PTI.

What, John Adams supporting the Vols?

At any rate, it seems that this thing refuses to die. Which, considering it is keeping Tennessee in the public eye and on the lips of every sports commentator across the country, is probably a good thing. Oh, and for the record, it hasn’t seemed to hurt prospects with recruits out there, such as Joe Montana’s son, Nick. As an aside, I found the thoughts of some of the “common fans” of Southern Cal’s take on all of this enlightening — they think it is great and have, almost uniformly, nice things to say about Kiffin. I am also beginning to make me wonder if hell has frozen over considering that the KNS’ John Adams has actually been saying nice things about the Tennessee Football Program lately.

Not to be outdone, and in the hopes of spreading the venom even farther — sticking with my “This is Sparta” theme — here’s my little addition to the whole thing:

Cheater, Cheater, Pumpkin Eater! (click to enlarge)

Oh, and feel free to copy this and spread it to the four-winds (although I would appreciate a link back if you don’t mind).

At any rate, the current course of the football program at Tennessee is easy to assess: 1) after the pain of the Season of Constant Sorrow (2008) things are finally moving forward; 2) people are talking; and 3) at present the 2009 season comes down to two games: Western Kentucky (first home game) and the 19 September meeting with the Florida Gators.

And you thought the offseason was supposed to be boring…

– So it goes …

I’m laughing out loud at the fact that he can’t spell either one of his names, especially considering the fact that he’s a douchebag who has the gayest column mug I’ve ever seen.

I mean this guy makes Kevin Revis look tough.

HSH I totally agree. I love Tebow, I think he is the best College player ever and I am glad I got to see him play..I remember when I was down in St.Augustine the year before Tebow was even in college. I was on a horse and buggy carriage ride and the driver an I were talking football and he said remember this name Tim Tebow, he is gonna be great. funny how times like that can actually make you like somebody even more.
