Barking Carnival’s Rx for Bye Week Blues
No Paxil involved. As disappointed as we all are that Texas doesn't have a directional school from a dubious conference to pummel this weekend, you don't have to fall prey to the Bye Week Blues. You can do something productive like clean out your attic, take up the lute, or learn conversational...
Florida Gators -28 vs Tennessee Volunteers: Lay The Points
Florida enters this week's game with Tennessee a four-touchdown favorite. It's not enough. Florida coach Urban Meyer says he holds Tennessee defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin in great admiration -- his son, not so much. New Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin spent most of his first few months on the...

Bryce Brown picks Tennessee
Wow. God revealed his choice to him. As in: In God We Trust. On money. That he's being paid a lot of. "I asked God to reveal it to me," Brown said. "He gave me the sign. When I first went there (on official visit) I wasn't feeling it. I had a lot of concerns about Tennessee and the offense. When...

h/t to Rocky Top Talk This ESPN article reinforces what I was discussing in my local recruiting post that I made a week ago. Kiffin's recruiting acumen has already been demonstrated Kiffin is already ruffling feathers. He'd better be. Without the ability to recruit Florida, Alabama, Northern...
Tennessee to Hire Al Davis Reject
That's what ESPN is reporting. Lane Kiffin, who was 5-15 in a year and a half as the head man at the train wreck known as the Oakland Raiders, is slated to take Phil Fulmer's place at Tennessee. Kiffin, who is just a year older than Peyton Manning, supposedly will be announced as the Vols head...

The Volunteers are 3-7 this year with two games left, at Vandy and Kentucky at home. Tennessee has never lost 8 games in...
Phat Phil Phired
Err....I mean resigns. Let the speculation begin.
When Tony Barnhart types, I read
Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart, said he thinks Fullmer is done at Tennessee.

But what I saw Saturday night in Knoxville was a sense...
