Dooley hits the refresh button

Greg King and Marlon Walls will join their teammates when Tennessee opens fall practice this Wednesday in Knoxville.

Head coach Derrick Dooley reinstated the two saying that they showed regret and were contrite in their apologies throughout the investigation process.

Tennessee might want to think about scrapping their football program and come back in a few years, you know, sort of like Enron. Since college football’s resident diva Lane Kiffin left Tennessee for the younger, sexier, USC, Tennessee and Derek Dooley have been in a tailspin that seems to dive deeper with every passing week. Fresh off Tennessee’s annual Orange and White game Saturday, safety Darren Myles, Jr. celebrated a little too much and was picked up by Knoxville’s...

The Mouth of the South keeps Running

Lane Kiffin hasn’t even been USC’s head coach for 3 months, yet he’s back to running his mouth again.

In a recent interview with Sporting News columnist Matt Hayes, Kiffin claimed that he would have won an SEC championship he had stayed with...
