Georgia's Old Gremlins Return
Spring games have always been a bit paradoxical. You're never quite sure whether the outcome of a play is good or bad. Is that long run a good sign for the offense, or does it portend doom for the defense? Was that sack a sign of an unstoppable defensive end or a Swiss cheese O-line? However,...
Talking points: and the Bulldog shall lay down with the Tiger
Tennessee The Lady Vols almost overcame a 15-point halftime deficit last night but fell short, losing to LSU 61-63. Hooper, Graysnail, and wvvol have the game thread. Nick Montana would like to commit to a school soon so that he can focus on his senior season, and he would like to add an offer...
RTT exclusive interview with Bruce Feldman, author of Meat Market
I am as jacked as Lane Kiffin at a booster function this morning. Somebody stop me before I say something inflammatory. Why the sudden infusion of energy? Because yesterday afternoon Rocky Top Talk completed a ten-question email interview with five-star author Bruce Feldman. For...
So...How Did Recruiting Go? (Part One)
Back in June, I wrote a couple of pieces about how recruiting was going. (They were both follow-ups--follows-up?--to my Culture vs Caliber post from the month before.) My first recruiting post envisioned what a "best-case scenario" class would look like for this Mizzou staff. The second looked...
Talking points: national signing day drama and more edition
There is no way that I get to all of the news this morning, so we just have an abbreviated version of the Talking Points: Lotso drama for National Signing Day. The best news of the day was WR Nu'Keese Richardson blowing off Florida for Tennessee. The worst news of the day was Memphis WR Marlon...
Talking points: Total number of commitments after big weekend? Um . . .
Tennessee Huge, HUGE recruiting weekend for the Vols. The news? Not really huge. Or even large or medium- or regular-sized. In fact, few things changed and those that have are not really good news. Marlon Brown? Still undecided and will choose at a National Signing Day press conference between...
3 things I learned at lunch: Thunder Thornton, Urban Meyer, and David Oku
Stuff I heard on my iPod while eating lunch in my car, vaguely half remembered, probably incorrectly, un- fact-checked or otherwise verified, and probably just made up in between sips of aspartame. Tennessee booster Thunder Thornton apparently sat in silent protest rather than standing and...
Talking points: rivalry is alive and well on the House floor, thank you, edition
Tennessee Recruiting update. DB Darren Myles? Down to three: Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU, he says. On Myles' visit to Tennessee this past weekend, he was met in the hotel lobby by Monte Kiffin who treated him to a lengthy session on the many variations of the Tampa 2 before Myles could even get...
Talking points: Kiffin is the Anti-Dale Carnegie edition
Tennessee Lane Kiffin on How to Make Enemies and Irritate People. Woo! Recruiting update. The Coaching Chimera was in Louisiana Monday making its final pitch to five-star DB Janzen Jackson. Preliminary result? Still committed to LSU, but he hasn't "canceled" Tennessee out yet. Basically the...
Talking points: the Orange Swarm is coming and resistance is futile
THE ORANGE SWARM IS COMING. And you thought I was kidding about oversigning coaches. (Chest bump to ChattVol for the observation.) Hamilton hires Lane Kiffin. Lane hires a few run-of-the-mill assistants then shakes Rocky Top by hiring Monte Kiffin, the best defensive coordinator in football, NFL,...
