Kiffin leads SEC in secondary violations
Tennessee leads most SEC schools in football-related secondary violations since Lane Kiffin was hired as coach on Dec. 1, 2008, according to information obtained through Freedom of Information requests by the News Sentinel. Tennessee has had six. Ole Miss is next with five. Alabama and Auburn did not respond to the FOI requests and Vanderbilt, as a private school, is not subject to FOI requests. Kiffin admits he has made some mistakes, but he does not believe the number to be over the top.
Now think about how hard Lane must work to get caught 6 times in 7 months. (Guess he didn't take Christmas off.) And to get caught that often, he probably had to commit (or inspire his assistants to commit) about thrice that number. I think the Knoxville paper should ask Lane where he developed these skills, which clearly outclass those of everyone else in the SEC.

Please also note that...
Lane, while justifiably proud of his accomplishment, does not consider it to be over the (Rocky) top. His modesty is understandable: where he used to work, a major violation a month might have been more the norm.

I'm sure he didn't think anything was a violation
How much time do you think is spent talking about the rules over at the cesspool? I’m sure the only guidelines they have are (a) get the recruit, and (b) don’t tell anybody anything about what you had to do to get the recruit.
In that same vein, I’m sure Lame had no concept that anything a football coach might do could actually be a violation.
If any of these things were self-reported, I would love to have been a fly on the wall in Lame’s office. “Self-reported?” (Using the same voice that Jim Mora used when he said "Playoffs?)

"We're number 2"
When I’m out in a crowd with my True Blue UCLA jacket and some idiot flashes me the “we’re number 2” sign, I have to laugh. UCLA is #1 in NCAA titles as we all know. So, I guess the proper thing to do when you see it is to say “that’s right, you are #2.” In fact, I think this sign is pretty gracious to us.
However, the sad truth of the matter is their not even #2… at anything.

Their Gesture
I’ve always taken it to mean “I got in at $econd Choice.”
BTW, should I recognize this guy, or is his just some $Chmoe?

I'm clueless, too
He looks like Marijuanivoch a bit without the orange jumpsuit. I don’t know who it is.

These are all good captions...
What occurred to me was, “We bought 2 recruits illegally this month” or “2 junior cheats moving to college head coaching jobs this season.”

It could also be his answer
to the question “what’s 3+3?”
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

We don't spend enough time on him
Obviously this is a UCLA site and we’re more concerned with the PAC-10. But we play this joker’s team this season and if there was ever a loudmouth, arrogant coach in the league it’s this guy. I hope we pound them into the ground so maybe this guy will shut his mouth.

I live in Gator country
The Gators are sort of just$c* lite. The match up quite well with just$c* in many things (not unlike the guy in “Major League” who Bob Uecker said “leads the league in just about every offensive category including most nose hair.”). In fact, it may be that the gators have more arrests in the past few years than just$c*, but obviously Urban doesn’t own the police like Cheatie Petie does. I invariably root against the gators.
With one exception this year. I hope Florida hands Lame a whippin’ of legendary proportions. Lame has been shooting his mouth off about Florida, and I’m sure the players will want to take action.
So I root for Florida one time this year.
