Forget about sneaking out of Knoxville like a thief in the night. Were I a Vols fan, this is why I’d be pissed at Junior:
What’s all this have to do with Kiffin?
Upon taking the Tennessee job, he sent word to a couple of quarterbacks the Vols had committed under the previous regime that they needed to look elsewhere — and they did.
Their names? Tajh Boyd and Bryce Petty.
As a Georgia fan, though, let me take this opportunity to thank Mike Hamilton again for the fine job he did.
Get The Picture 
Stay classy, Lane. And please tuck in your shirttail.

Did you see the story yesterday, where Jr’s mommy is worrying about him being in Knoxville, and wants him in the press booth and not on the sidelines? Seems he still owes some barber in Knoxville $14 for a haircut. There’s fear that he could actually be arrested?!?1…. And fear that if Tennessee should win,they will storm the field and he will be attacked. It will be interesting to see if he stands on the sidelines and if he wears a helmet, (see ..”Bear Bryant wears helmet on field against Georgia Tech in 1964 because of whiskey bottles being thrown at him in previous visit”).

I would have liked to have seen him spell Chubb a bit more during the last two games, especially once we got the lead – I think he’s a lot of fun to watch. You also start thinking about possible injuries to Chubb in those situations, why risk it once you’re up three touchdowns on somebody?

Hearst left early for the NFL and Terrell Davis still sat. That’s why Ray Goff was called Ray Goof.

(1) That’s why I used the term “partly”.
(2) Davis was Georgia’s leading rusher in 1993. That’s not exactly sitting.

Davis’ 2nd year stats were similar to Hearst. He never got over the pulled hammy his last year. Goff thought he should have played in spite of the injury. Goff didn’t bother to help Davis get to the next level and neglected to send film to the NFL. Davis was hurt over that snub for some time. It’s buttah now.

The falderal around Kiffin is maneageble until you get to that item of discouraging two fine QBs from attending. Isn’t that tampering because he no longer works at Tenn?
Anyway, Senator, between you and ESPN glorifying that fact, I’d say his safety isn’t worth a plug nickel unless he has gun-drawn security racing up and down the sideline with him when the Bama O is performing. Of course, Crompton, sitting on the bench, may take a shot at him from across the field.
Expect that devious minds are afoot to show their displeasure without harm coming to Kiffen. What do you take them for, a bunch of hillbillys?
