I hope Kiffin closes practice and pisses off John Adams.

On Adams: Plenty of kid coaches have tasted success

Posted on October 23 at 9:26 p.m.

Hey John, I guess you forgot about the officials blowing the safety call against Arkansas. When the punter kicked the ball out of the endzone it should have been UT ball inside the five yard line trailing 24-20 instead of the safety that made it 24-22. If the Vols score a TD there, then Arkansas is having to score at the end instead of trying to run out the clock. I guess you just play the "if" game when something goes in favor of the Vols. What a miserable life you must lead.

On Adams: Familiar ring for making 1998 possible

I am constantly amused by those who slam the people who slam Adams. As you say, he has the right to give his opinion. He is a columnist and that is what he is paid to do. However, readers also have the right to disagree with what they feel is a biased or ignorant opinion. Being a columnist does not make him a god and immune from criticism. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Obviously, Adams can stand the heat because he chooses to stay in the kitchen.

On Adams: Oklahoma No. 1 ... couldn't win SEC East

It has to do with Adams being a two-faced prick. I know that he writes for a Knoxville paper and not a Georgia paper. But he never mentions these things when he writes about the Dogs. He gives Richt a free pass. His agenda has gotten boring.

Dave, shame on you. You really put John on the spot talking about Georgia's off field problems. It was easy to tell that he didn't want to talk about it.

Hey John- nothing about all of Georgia's off the field problems? I thought that was a major concern of yours regarding college football programs. I guess it only matters at Tennessee. You choked on this article.

On SEC Football 2008: Georgia

tngeoff- I don't know what world you were living in during the Bill Battle tenure. Battle was a great guy but his record got worse every year and so did his teams. Pointing out his overall record is absurd. He took over a program at the top of the SEC and led it to the bottom. He was retained 2 years too long and most people around during that time knew it. Had he been let go at the end of 1974, the UT football program would not have taken so long to recover. He still had a lot of talent his last 2 years, but by the time he was fired the well was dry. Not one time did have a better team than the year before.

The paragraph about Adams says judges but the qoute is by an individual, hence the use of I. I think this one paragraph tells us all we know about the quality of the journalists and judges involved in this award.

Great hire. Now I don't have to listen to him on ESPN.

Why did the staff of the KNS leave out of the print edition the quote by the judge defending Fulmer and UT?
