I'd like to see some videos of some football practices. Maybe some could be posted on this site.

Ahh... hope Kiffin says something controversial? Then deny ever saying it?

Finish watching the Tigers in the tournament, college baseball, MLB/Braves baseball, college football, college basketball...it's a vicious cycle.

Exactly how much influence does your biased opinion have on the actual results on the field?

Answer: None

In my admittedly biased opinion, you will not see a Lane Kiffin team back down to any team ever - especially the Gators. My opinion is based on the trend of teams matching the personality of the head coach. You can easily make the argument that UF has more talent than UT, but do not be suprised to see a different brand of VOL hit the Swamp this year. In my opinion, any "beat down" administer by the Gators to the VOLS next year will have much more to do with Mr. Tebo than anything else. He is a great leader and person and you would do well to model the humility that is a testimony to his faith in Christ.

Your references to Corky are low, cowardly, and it is unbelievable KNS still allows you to post. I can guarantee you that the University of Florida would be ashamed of your comments, as would Tim Tebo, as would Urban Meyer. You can go w/ the nickname thing all you want, but please leave those who are disabled out of it. I'm sure there are many UF fans and many UT fans that have Down Syndrome. Your comments at 2:55 PM on the UT/OSU basketball thread are offensive to all with disabilities. Give it a rest. Until you retract that statement, your credibility is zero.

Or I'll rejoice that UVa will have a new B-Ball coach soon. Hopefully he won't sweat as much as Pete Gillet and won't be as incompetent as Leito.

And I'll laugh at the funny stuff Lane Kiffin does.

Its a wonder why this country is in the shape it is with people like him in it, huh. Maybe in 10 years when he is 23-24 yrs old he will be blessed with such a child. Which I have no doubt he would give up to adoption.

It is true. You DO live in a fantasy world. You could never find here or anywhere else in my lifetime where ive made any comment like that. Youll never be able to say that. I wish there were a million tebows out there. I have never and will never put down or make fun of kids playing a game. There are a few people here that make interesting or funny posts here. It just wears me out finding them amoung the useless, self-serving jibberish people like you write.

Actually Urban Meyer is 4-0 big guy. He's been at UF since '05 & since then UT hasn't been able to beat Florida. Get your facts right before you spew off & make yourself look like an idiot please.

DC,

Have you considered professional counseling for your obsession with stirring up controversy. You and GatorZ need help! You will not find me on any Gator (without the Y) websites. Nor will you find me disrespecting your team. I played ball and learned to respect the competition on the field. Same should go for fans. I do not know you, but you are probably a Gator for the same reason I am a VOL. Most likely you grew up watching Gator games with your Dad. Me too. You probably get a sick feeling in you stomach when the Gators loose (which has not been too often lately). You definitely had a bad day after the Ole Miss game last year! Me too. You enjoy reading about the new Gator recruits. I enjoy reading about the new VOL recruits. We are not really that different. Only difference I see is your desire to go onto an opponent's web site and stir things up. I have never been on a Gator website and have no desire to do so. I see no spiritual proof of Christianity in any post you have ever made, but there is a chance you are a brother in Christ. If so, I would ask you to do a little sould searching about your postings here. I will pray for you.

With regard to your Bruce Pearl commment. Not sure of its relevance here as I believe Bruce is 7 for 8 against the Gators and all he has done is hit the Big Dance every year since he has been at UT.

DC. You've been on here enough to know I don't slip the "y" into Gators. You also know that I haven't called Tebo gay. Go back and check my comments(I'm sure you know how to do that) and you'll find that I think Tebo is a class act. But comparing the "making fun of" a guy whose nickname is Superman to the "making fun of" those with Down Syndrome is abusrd...and you know it. This is not a trade-off. Tebo can take care of himself I feel certain. However, you are choosing a part of our society to degrade that has trouble taking care of themselves against those who are stronger. You always brag about what a great board this is. Do you think picking on folks who have a genetic condition adds to that? Again, retract your comments or lose all credibility. Honestly, if Tim Tebo read your comments, what do you think he would say?

RJ,

Apparently, our illustrious president shares DC's passion for making fun of the handicapped as he recently compared his bowling skills to a "Special Olympics" event.

RJ,

I will second that! The world would be a better place with more Tim Tebos. He is obviously not gay, but he did not help himself by kissing a team mate on national TV and this is unfortunately all some needed to jump on the "Tebo is gay" bandwagon which unfortunately led to the "Gator" thing. My apologies to all Gators for this unfortunate chain of events.

Thanks for your post as it mirrors my thought exactly.

To add to it - anybody that thinks it is cute to trash talk a 5-15 record in the NFL as a 20 something head coach of a dead Raider team must have serious mental issues. They surely know nothing about football or pro sports in general. Having been a 30+ year Bungles fan through some dark years you learn that no matter who coaches it comes down to ownership being willing to employ quality players and upper management with character and true expertise. Mike Brown has been incompetent at it for decades since daddy Paul passed away - just like Silk Jumpsuit Al. The only thing keeping the Raiders alive are the fans that are living in yesterday.

19SEP,

That's a good one! About fell out of my chair! Seems like there are more Gators than VOLS on here. Not sure what the attraction is to stirring up controversy and then being attacked by the VOL nation. Don't mind a few good natured barbs, but the likes of GatorZ(fill in the number) and DC just baffle me. Why would you spend so much time insulting your rival's fans and then getting slammed verbally? Must be some psychological issue. One thing I learned playing high school and college football is you never start a fight on the opposite sidelines! Guess these guys have not figured this out yet or they just enjoy controversy. I do not mind an intelligent conversation with fans from other teams, but these guys come on a VOLS website and start talking smack right off the bat! Maybe they are actually KNS employees just trying to build readership on their website.

Thanks KMTW.

Wonder how well Urban would do if he switched places with Kiffin. There is a big clue to the answer with a big ego and he currently resided in South Carolina. Yep, he's the same guy that accused CLK of cheating, but for some reason I do not recall CLK crying to his MH about going to the SEC for an official apology and reprimand. Guess some coaches take competition like a man and some do not.

P.S. Do not give up on the Bengals! All sports run in cycles. Gator fans who remember the Galon Hall days will tell you that! Cycles are shorter in pro ball due to the draft process. Maybe Bryce Brown will get drafted by the Bengals one day and run them all the way to the Super Bowl!

Maybe the Lady VOLS will give us a run!

Mc,

I think a ferret would be too big to get past security. Try a guinea'soooey'pig!

Hey you could start looking for a new coach. I think you are beginning to see, even if you don't admit it, that this guy ain't leading you to the mountaintop. Now, he may buy the mountain top or build a new mansion on it with the money UT is paying him but forget about becomming an elite team. He can't do it.
