This appeared in the Truth and Rumors section on SI.com and I had to laugh when I saw it.
Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin denied telling South Carolina recruit that he "would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life" on Tuesday, according to ESPN. Alshon Jeffrey of St. Matthews, S.C., one of the nation's top prospects at wide receiver, signed with South Carolina after an intense recruiting battle with Southern Cal and Tennessee. On Tuesday, Kiffin told ESPN, "I never said that to Alshon, nor would I say anything like that. That's just not something I would say."
How great of story is that?!?! It is like this "kid" is a clone of ole Stevie Ball Coach himself. Kiffen may not ever win a game at UT, but at least he came onto campus with guns ablazing. and now he is even taking shots at the master of SEC Coach Trash Talk...Stevie Ball Coach. Over the years UT has been know for having a solid winning program, but it seemed to lack the swagger that other programs had. And many years it seemed as if it was the step child to Florida and Stevie Boy. Now Lane swaggers into Knoxville and his gums are a flappin'. UT may not win much this year, but I am certain Laney is going to keep us all entertained.
