The Full Monte Kiffin: The Essence of Ed Orgeron
By: Knox McCoy The Essence of Ed Orgeron Of all the talent migrating into Knoxville this off-season, the most impressive “get” this recruiting season was the crazy Cajun himself, Ed Orgeron. No ordinary coach, Orgeron is a one-man stimulus plan and Kiffin is banking on as much as his chances for success rest squarely on…

Guitar Shots To the Head: The Hokey Pahokee
We are headed back to Pahokee for more drama. Laughs will surely follow. Pick your lyric for what Eddie Gran may be singing in Pahokee, Florida right now. “If you ever go out to the Pahokee Swamp you better not go at night” or “Please Mr. Kiffin…I don’t want to go…a ho oh oh” or…

The Quarterback Conundrum we are in
No matter what takes place during the weeks leading up to September 5th, the Vols will begin the 2009 season with two QB’s on scholarship. The reason that we are in this position is because in the ’08 class our sole QB commitment Casey Kelly was drafted (as was expected) by the Boston Redsox and…

Frankly, I don’t know if I could have withstood 5 months of the great Crompton/Coleman debate anyway. For the…

Barry Brunetti impresses at Elite 11 camp
Barry Brunetti had a strong showing at Friday’s Elite 11 camp: Barry Brunetti (Memphis, Tenn./University Christian) had a tremendous day and impressed multiple coaches and scouts, including ESPN’s Tom Luginbill, at the event. Though not the tallest quarterback, he’s tall enough to see over the line and make all of the throws. After watching his…

Guitar Shots to the Head: A Spring Wrap
There are a few things that I noticed being in Knoxville for the big spring event. One of my observations has nothing to do with football. It seems that it is getting harder and harder to go anywhere around Neyland Stadium without running into Volnationals. Sitting on the upper level at the 50 yard line…
