For those of you who are regular readers around here, you have doubtless noticed that it’s been pretty quiet around here at Gate 21 lately.  The phrase “brisk as the tomb” comes to mind.  Part of that owes to the ebbs and flows of life in the 21st century, part from my laziness, and part from the fact that changes are afoot here at Gate 21, well at least in a manner of speaking.

All I can tell you at the moment is:

1. No, I am not dead;
2. No, I have not given up on the Vols in the wake of Lane Kiffin’s departure; and
3. Once again, there are about to be a bunch of changes here at the Gate—big changes—which I hope will be for the best.

At present, all I can tell you is that things are afoot and that I should have a big announcement later in the week or early next week.  Until then, it’s going to be a bit quiet around here.

For now, however, here is a little YouTubification of the Vols Winter workouts, courtesy of UTSports.com.

I’m loving that:  “Never leave you like Kiffin…”   That’s a keeper.

A solemn remembrance of the coaches that are no longer with us after the 2009 football season from the inimitable LSUFreek.

Ashes to ashes…

Tis only proper that we reflect on those gone by…

This is just a little too funny—especially the bit with the trolling motor.  Considering Bill Dance is never seen without his trademark web-back Tennessee hat, I figured it was appropriate to share it.

A nice little video demonstrating how not to impress your coaches with your “never give up“ attitude and relentless tenacity.

Hmmm… I think you missed your assignment…

Not sure what Florida State’s Zebrie Sanders was doing, but it obviously wasn’t blocking…

A little video goodness from the one and only, often imitated but never replicated, the man, the myth, the legend: LSUFreek. This time, it’s all about the Bowdens.

I’m just glad it’s not Tennessee this time around…

Some of Slive's Henchmen at Work

Well, it looks like there are a few teeth to Mike Slive’s new edict that coaches refrain from criticizing the SEC’s finest.  What’s more, and somewhat to my surprise, it appears that the new policy even applies to Urban Meyer.  The basis for these conclusions?  Mike Slive’s decision to fine Florida Gators coach Urban Meyer $30,000 for criticizing the officiating during the Gators’ game against the Georgia Bulldogs, which was announced via an official release earlier today.

I am sure that Jeremy Foley will be lodging a strongly worded protest shortly, demanding that Lane Kiffin apologize for not being fined before Meyer…

So this raises a question: can you get fined for criticizing the fine you got tacked with for criticizing the officials?  I wonder if we will find out?  That could be highly entertaining.

At any rate, I guess we now know that Mike Slive actually meant what he said when he declared himself the High Inquisitor of the SEC.  Of course, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition…
