There's only ONE UT and it ain't in Tennessee.

My bigger question is what has Lane Kiffin ever actually done? NFL and college combined, I don't think he has won 20 games.

They were 23-3.

I'm a huge Vols fan...grew up that way because my dad graduated from UT and then I married a lovely Tennessee Vols girl. I was confused when UT hired Kiffin and now I'm not so sad he has left. Good Riddance you dirt bag Lane Kiffin.
So...who is up for UT heavily pursuing Steve Spurrier?!!! I am!

| Not so hasty, there was a UT in Knoxville before the Battle at the Alamo and prior to Texas being a state.

I'm a Gators fan, so I'm certainly biased--but this guy is just sleazy. Al Davis might be insane at this point in his life, but when someone calls you a liar over and over in a press conference announcing your firing, I'm thinking there may be something to that.
Then there was his behavior as UT coach. To me, trash-talking when you haven't accomplished squat yet isn't too smart. Neither is not knowing the rules of recruiting before you accuse a fellow coach of cheating. Now there's the "hostess" issue.
And the latest: It's been reported that his recruiting coordinator, Ed Orgeron (now working for him at USC), told recruits who enrolled early to skip class today so they can transfer to USC without having to sit out a year. I don't think the NCAA's going to be too happy about that. http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2010/...artner=popular
I think USC's making a mistake.

They were 23-3. | Recent experience at Notre Dame has shown that a great offense coordinator is not always a great head coach. Kiffin may be a great head coach, but he has not shown it yet.

Very true...... I wish the fail-i-est of all fails on him and the Trojans.

TN and TX will always have a kinship -but when it comes to football, we'll take our shots when the opportunity arises -all in good fun, of course.

I've used the "there's only one UT and it ain't in ______ " phrase many times.
I would change Austin and Knoxville depending on who was winning at the time.....
