    Really?
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Better pics of Layla Kiffin here. Good-looking family he's got.

    Look at the top pic. You guys tell me: Is that a baby-bump or a muffin top? Not that I'm complaining. I'm over 40 now and as long as her muffin top is smaller than mine, we're good!

    Layla Kiffin: Sounds like a port city in South Africa...

    Down, boy! You better keep your eyes on Swinney's wife...

    Wait a minute, Regan. You think the COACH is hot?

    Sentence structure, son. Sentence structure...

    I was gonna say the same thing!
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Guys...I've heard from a pretty good source that Lane Kiffin has ALREADY BEEN TURNED INTO THE NCAA by...

    Steve Orin Spurrier...

    The Ole Ball Coach-who just lost his recruiting coordinator, David Reaves, who is Kiffin's Brother In Law and is going to reprise the role there in Knoxville-has complained that every coach must pass an NCAA mandated recruiting test and formally accept a contract before contacting any recruits.

    It seems that Kiffin took & passed it last week, but had not formally agreed to a contract before calling a recruit on Tennessee's behalf that South Carolina is also recruiting...

    In other words...Welcome to the SEC, Lane...
  • Porcine · 1 year ago
    I thought these were supposed to go through the commish first.
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    I believe the SEC passed it along...
  • Porcine · 1 year ago
    Somebody in Birmingham is gonna let Tenn. get it? I wouldn't have guessed that.
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    That would be a perfect parting gift for Phil, welcoming gift for the new guy...
  • Porcine · 1 year ago
    Two birds with one stone, eh?
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    I think that's in the OP.
  • Regan · 1 year ago
    Are you telling me that the Tennessee Coach got in trouble and the whistleblower was not an ALABAMA guy?

    Hey Tide Fans, you going to put up with Spurrier beating yall to the punch to bust Tennessee for breaking the rules???

    SIC 'EM!!! :)
  • Cobia · 1 year ago
    The SEC just got a little tougher.
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    If he does manage to haul in Orgeron (He's from around here, and word out of his family's camp-he actually has always loved LSU-is that he's LSU or staying with the Saints), that'd be HUGE...

    I've heard Kiffin's also bringing in Frank Wilson, who got his start as the Head Coach at O. Perry Walker in New Orleans...Guy's an excellent recruiter...
  • Porcine · 1 year ago
    So who is going to get Chavis?
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    Hopefully us!
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    I've heard Miles & Chavis have already spoken, and we've already talked to his agent...

    I do believe he's ours if we want him...
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I've heard that too. I guess it's not done until it's done though.

    It's strange though, I'm hearing that Swinney got rid of Koenning. I don't think he'd do that unless someone else had accepted, but I haven't heard anything. I guess that could be his buddy Ellis Johnson, too.
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    TE: I heard Kiffin already has Orgeron on board (Tenn).

    f/y/i: not that it matters, but it's "Orr", not Orin. (Stephen Orr Spurrier...)

    ...don't ask...

  • Tommy_Trojan · 1 year ago
    Tennesse will be going after the recruiting. It's the name of the game - especially in the SEC. Make no mistake that Kiffen will certainly understand that. Regardless of coaching inadequacies - great talent can always make up for that. Recruiting is what makes great coaches. There haven't been many who have kept their jobs without recruiting.
  • FSU_Ben · 1 year ago
    But there are some who have lost thier jobs and still recruited well. It can't all be recruiting tommy.
  • Tommy_Trojan · 1 year ago
    FSU_Ben:

    LSU, Georgia and Florida have led the SEC in recruiting for the last several years overall. Tennessee has done fairly well and Alabama is starting to move to the top. Auburn has never really been fantastic in recruiting. They seem to have coached the players up. The premier teams are always the ones that recruit well - usually. I don't mean any disrespect here, but Florida State still has very fine and talented football players and can't win, and I think you might be alluding to that. Well, Bobby Bowden is getting a little long of tooth. But generally, the teams that do recruit the best, are gonna be some of the very best teams in the country.

    If you listed who you thought were the Top Ten teams overall for the last several years, all of those teams might be in the Top Ten of recruiting, sans teams like West Virginia and Boise State - which play in weak conferences.
  • FSU_Ben · 11 months ago
    I was alluding to Zook, and I'll give him more time but Randy Shannon looks like crappy coach/good recruiter. And yeah we lead Florida/Miami by far in recruiting this year (so far) and everyone in our conference and we are beating Miami (the only one who recruits at our level) and losing to the rest of the ACC far too much. It's not one upset to Cal, UCLA (both of which recruit well but Wake Forest. They aren't even tapping the bottom of the barrel. They move the barrel and see if anything leaked out. Bobby is long of tooth but I have resigned myself to him until Joe Pa dies and Bobby catches back up. We got the healthier dinosaur I think.
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    Tennessee scored the Boy Wonder AND Batman (Monte). That makes it a good hire, in my estimate, and did I mention....

    #@$$#%&!!

    We're going to miss ol' Monte.

    Bottome line: Tenn. doesn't hire the Boy Wonder, without the Batman...can you say...

    ...Pride??? (thanks for the coattails, daddy...)


    GO GATORS!!
  • FSU_Ben · 1 year ago
    Would father really work for son? It would be quite a coup for Tennessee but.....
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    Good point...

    So, what happens if Lane and daddy disagree?

    "...but Daaaaaadd, that's not how we do things here...."

    "...STFU son, or I'm gonna' have to tan your hide, boy...."


    GO GATORS!!

  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    In Kiffin's speech he said that he cannot wait to hear rocky top when tennessee beats florida next year, the raiders were horrible under him, he seems naive and inexperienced-tennessee is no longer a powerhouse and i dont think this was the right move to try and get back in the game.

    Spurrier had a losing season and he is trying to accuse kiffin of recruitment violations during his first week?? really?
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    I don't think Kiffin will have to worry about hearing Rocky Top. He'll hear it about 68 times a game...
  • Bama_Babe · 1 year ago
    Yeah, 68 times before the game even starts....
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    During the SEC Championship Game last year, I became nauseated beyond belief...

    No offense to OU, or Illinois fans, but I've never heard any band that had LESS to them than UT's band with Rocky Top...

    Ron...OU_Fan...You guys don't bust on me too hard for that...but seriously...Dull, dull, dull, dull, dull...
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    It's gotta be better than ' I've been working on the Railroad ".......
  • Bama_Babe · 1 year ago
    TE,

    It is so ridiculous.
    Pre-game: Rocky Top...x 50
    First down: Rocky Top.
    Commercial Break: Rocky Top.
    Time-out: Rocky Top.
    Touchdown: Rocky Top.

    They counted on the first, second and third more than the second and last though, this year. ;)

    What sucks though, is it is a tune that will get stuck in your head and you'll find yourself singing it. Thankfully, we 'Bama fans - and I'm sure others - have our own lyrics. It goes something like ... well, I better not....

    ;)
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    Agreed...and let's not forget that annoying high pitched "WHOO" they throw in after every line...URRRGH!!!

    That said, it is kinda' fun singing it back at them, when you win (the look on their long faces....priceless).


    GO GATORS!!
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Gator_Babe,

    First off, thanks for adding to the flavor here...We have quite the female contingent we're working on, now, aren't we, fellas? Always glad to get the feminine perspective...

    I'm also hoping like HELL I can start a chickfight between the _Babe's coming into this weekend!

    Who could ask for a better script? One Gator Fan...One Bama Fan...Two _Babe's...Only One Fanblogs...Greatness...

    As far as Kiffin is concerned, The babbling old fool formerly known as Al Davis didn't exactly give him a complete package to work with, and he undercut and second-guessed every move he made...As far as what I know, JaMarcus LOVED Kiffin and his tutelage...

    They were much better offensively with Kiffin running the offensive show compared to after he left...Oakland's got a great defense, they just have NO DEPTH, and they had corner issues, which wouldn't let them turn the ball over and get the off the field.

    DeAngelo Hall was a joke...Al Davis paid him $2,000,000.00 per game for 8 games...Guaranteed money...Before releasing him...That's the kind of owner Kiffin dealt with...

    I'll be honest when I say that I think he's too young...He's not ready...and I think Daddy Monte coming in to run the defense is interesting...and I doubt the Vol Administration would've hired him without Monte, if you ask me...

    I think its a tad on the insulting side, as has been alluded to here previously...

    But, I'm rambling and on a tangent...Where was I...

    Oh, yeah...The chickfight...

    [Hmm...thinking of how to drum up some bad blood]

    Hey...Bama_Babe...Gator_Babe812 just e-mailed me and said you looked STUPID in Houndstooth!

    [Quickly Ducking out of the way]
  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    You live in Denham??? what.... crazy thats where my mom lives
    me and my dad live in phoenix (ASU sucks @ss) but i grew up in jacksonville and i have some sympathy for LSU :)

    if Florida does bad in a season i'll pull for LSU over anyone else

    And that girl doesn't know anything on football like i do
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    Gator Babe:

    No need to knock B_B; you don't have to prove anything, and she's built up some cred on here, so just post your takes, and have fun with it.

    That doesn't mean you should hold back; just means you oughtn't feel like you have to prove yourself, or like it's "either you or her"; plenty of room for both of y'all, and then some...

    (just a subtle suggestion...).


    GO GATORS!!
  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    Hey she started it lol
    No i just strongly dislike alabama for how i was treated by thier fans at an LSU game because i was wearing GATOR gear.

    But i dont suppose that is her fault. I'll play nice if she does :-)
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Whoa...Someone cue "It's a Small World, After All"...

    (I'm guessing WEA is looking it up on YouTube about a millisecond after he reads this)...

    Yeah...Denham Springs is coming up in the world...Weez just got us a Bass Pro Shops...AND A HOOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm waiting for the Fendi store, and I've sent an e-mail to Tom Ford to guage his interest in perhaps opening up a boutique selling cotoure just off I-12...
  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    haha yeah i've been to the bass pro shop and the hooters i was in town for thanksgiving lol.
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Imagine that...I was at the Hooters on Saturday before heading out to downtown Big Raggedy...

    That bad boy was JUST opened up...But, we are such second class citizens...its the first Hooter's I've ever heard of that doesn't serve the "whole Menu"...Whatever that means...Like I go there for the food or something...
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Not even I would risk linking to that song...

    Ya'll, what TE failed to mention is that the Bass Pro shops and the Hooters are in the same building there in Denham. They also perform lawn mower repair and income tax services, too...
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    I've heard our mayor is working on a big new commercial center...

    Get this...

    It's the Denham Springs Suburban Air Strip/Tire Mart/Fried Chicken Hut & School of Cosmetology...

    It's going to share the same parking lot as Wal-Mart...

    (In all seriousness, we have one of the largest Wal-Mart's in America...We could make this happen.)
  • FSU_Ben · 11 months ago
    I don't think he did have a losing season. :P
    Also he hates tennessee and that is his gator side that has him loathing Tennessee. I think he hates Tennessee worse than UGA or FSU. FSU wasn't the rivalry it is now when he played there. Soon maybe we will get tired of losing and cancel the series.
  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    Yeah but not as much as USC plays tribute to troy lol

    not to be mean but why do you like auburn?
  • TheMayor · 1 year ago
    You nailed it....USC Band, insert screwdriver in ear by end of first quarter to ease pain.
  • Gator_Babe812 · 1 year ago
    they play it for ANYTHING!!!!! lol The best band in the league is the golden band from tigerland, but the best team is FLORIDA

    Why are the Song Girls always signaling to 'go for two'? Even after field goals...
  • Bama_Babe · 1 year ago
    WEA,

    Birmingham News is reporting Tuberville is out....

    Heard anything about this?
  • WarEagleFan · 1 year ago
    Heard the same thing here you beat me to the punch
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    If you guys hired Mike Leach, then that's the most hilarious Counterpunch hire in the history of Organized Sport...

    Seriously...Alabama brings the Defensive Mastermind in...

    Auburn reacts by bringing in the wildest offensive guru in D-1 to combat him...

    I LOVE THE SEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • WarEagleFan · 1 year ago
    I like Butch Davis myself or Will Muschamp maybe even the CIW at Florida State
  • BigTide30A · 1 year ago
    War Eagle Atlanta, we discussed the dynamics of the SEC West last season at great length and I suggested that Tubberville would leave at the end of last season. Looks like I was a season behind. I'm not saying it was ALL Saban, but you have to admit there has been some restlessness on The Plains of late and this year was just off the chart. I heard about a month ago that Butch Davis wanted into the SEC and that the two positions he was interested in were TN and Auburn. That would be a great hire. Good luck on your new coach. What ever happened to TE the LSU fan? Haven't seen his posts lately.....
