Since being booted out of Tinseltown in 2004, Ed Orgeron has done everything in his power to come back to the west coast. With Lane Kiffin surprisingly dropping Tennessee for the Trojans, the door opened for Orgeron to pack his bags and follow Kiffin.

Vol Navy sets sail for Haiti

Lane Kiffin is a saint and he doesn’t even know it. When the Vols hired Kiffin to take the reigns, there was so much excitement and hope in the air that the school created the Adidas’ “It’s Time” Lane Kiffin t-shirt. Well in the wake of the most devastating earthquake in Haiti, a West Knoxville apparel store, Hound Dogs, is offering anyone who brings in their “It’s Time” t-shirt 20% off their next purchase.
