As the Saturday festivities heated up on Cumberland Avenue, Smith and another student began jawing at the mouth about a certain lady friend. The conversation quickly escalated into...

This doesn’t mean Brown can’t transfer to Kansas State to pay ball with his older brother, it simply means he cannot receive a scholarship from Kansas State...

As a result of USC’s infractions, Jackson will not have to sit out the mandatory one season per NCAA transfer rules. He can play immediately. When asked about transferring, Jackson...

Kiffin to be memorialized in Knoxville

January 21, 2010

Fans are disgusted with Lane Kiffin’s selfish and sudden departure.  So much so that a Knoxville attorney and season ticket holder, Drew McElroy, drafted a check for $262 and filed the appropriate paperwork to have the city’s waste water treatment plant renamed the Lane Kiffin Sewage Center. He is convinced that this cesspool of waste is a fitting honorary title that properly memorializes Kiffin’s actions and depicts everything Kiffin stands for and represents. It’s good to see the Vols nation...

However, the win may prove to be costly as UCLA’s star freshman QB Kevin Prince suffered a broken jaw when the Vols’ Dennis Rogan sacked him for a safety with 1:41 to play. Prince will have his jaw wired shut and he should be out 3-4 weeks. Prince is having a promising start leading the Bruins to a 2-0 record with victories over San Diego State and Tennessee....

Vols #1 WR is down, but not out

First it was Austin Rogers, then Denarius Moore, now Gerald Jones is temporarily out. During the Vol’s Saturday scrimmage, junior WR Gerald Jones went down with a high ankle sprain. His injury will force him to sit at least 4-6 weeks. This is extremely costly and worrisome for Kifffin and crew as the Vols are running out of any go-to or experienced receivers as the season kicks-off. Tennessee has two big early match-ups as the Vols face UCLA September 12th...
