The Charlie Weis clock is now ticking to its proverbial ending. It all started on Saturday night after the Irish lost to Pittsburgh 27-22 and it’s long flight back to South Bend. Sunday morning Weis was called in to Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick’s office at 9:30 am, where he was told something. Whether he is staying or going, has not been made publicly, but the final nail seems to have been nailed shut.
>
> Here are a few tidbits which should uncloud the Irish Nation’s mind about the future of Coach Weis:
>
> ~ Weis calls off his Sunday media press conference. This is the first time in five years he has called off a press conference.
>
> ~ The media try to contact both Swarbrick and ND President Fr. Jenkins for comment on Weis future, but are not able to be reached, due to both being away from campus.
>
> ~ 12:00 p.m. South Bend Private Flight carrying Swarbrick and Jenkins is headed South to Florida.
>
> ~ The same plane also has scheduled flights this week to Cincinnati and Oklahoma.
>
> ~ Bob Stoops of Oklahoma has been reported as being interested in the Notre Dame job if it becomes available, according to Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune.
>
> According to one of the Board of Trustees and a source inside the Athletic Department has both confirmed that both Swarbrick and Jenkins have put a package together to lure Urban Meyer back to South Bend. Here are the main details that are on the table as of yesterday:
>
> 1.) A 10-year $50,000,000 base salary, which doesn’t include endorsement and university incentives.
>
> 2.) 3 “special” projects a year, which may include JUCO transfers.
>
> 3.) A contract with Nike (football only)
>
> 4.) Additional incentives:
>
> (a) $550,000 for Top 10 Finish
> (b) $750,000 for BCS Bowl appearance
> (c) $1.2 million for BCS National Championship
> (d) $400,000 for 90% or better graduation rate
>
> The carpet is ready to roll out for Meyer for the taking, whether Swarbrick and Jenkins can get it done, will be the trick. If not, Brian Kelly, seems to be the next logical choice.
>
> These next two weeks will be a roller coaster for media and Irish fans alike. But one thing is for sure, the Weis era clock is about to hit midnight!

Jackson is “trapped like a duck in a pen”.

How is it that we everyday run-of-the-mill fan  recognize the importance of athletics in these players lives? Facts are facts:  Education has never done anything for these boys. They play football good and that is what is going to make them a star.  The sooner that Kiffin grasps this fact the sooner we can get back on top of the SEC.  He needs to take a real long  look at this years SEC-CG teams and their disciplinary programs.  Those coaches know how to discipline the right way and look where they are today:  ”bowl eligible”.  Dare I say that Meyer and Saban have established and finetuned the template for success?  Why reinvent the wheel Lane?

Despite the obvious damage keeping these Jackson off the field has caused, Lane Kiffin has  chosen to “suspend” Janzen Jackson, perhaps for multiple games .  I promise you this ill-advised decision cost us a ballgame versus Ole Miss without the Jackson’s help.  Let’s face facts, McCluster would have never gained 475 yards against us if Jackson had played, Thanks Coach.

So here is my message to Lane Kiffin:  Get Janzen back on the field ASAP.  We need to get bowl eligible and ESPN says we still can make a New Year’s Day Bowl if you hurry and reverse your oppressive decision of denying Janzen’s God given right:  The right to play Tennessee Football.

It’s never a good thing to waste a crisis……

Via email:

“I don’t think it has one,” Kiffin suggested. “I think everyone at times goes through issues. We have been very fortunate to go through 11 months without any. This one hit us. I think the message sent in how we dealt with it as we have already talked to a number of parents and kids on the phone the last couple of days they understand that situations happen everywhere. It’s more how do you deal with them. Do you keep that kind of activity around your program. Do you suspend them for a half? Do you suspend them for a game? Then you do have parents question, ‘ok am I going to send my son to that kind of environment when you let those things happen and they are still on a suspension, but they are in your program’.”

I don’t think Kiffin stuttered. Do not misunderestimate him.  Lane Kiffin is a hard-nosed, baby-faced, supremely coiffed, old school coach and a offensive genius. Much to the amazement to his doubters, he continues to exhibit the leadership qualities necessary to lead a team of impressionable young men.  5 star Safety  Janzen Jackcon has shown that Kiffin’s example does not go unnoticed.

It seems like just yesterday that coach Kiffin put a recruiting whipping on those south Florida boys and then called Herban Meyer a ‘cheat’.

Today?  Lane Kiffin is  spinning, juking and jiving so he can go in again and harvest some more blue chippers out of fertile South Florida.  Just like last year when we went down and plucked Nu’keese from Pahokee at the last minute by taking him away from UF, FAU, UCF, USF, FSU, FIU and FAMU.

Sure it is a crying shame that Nu’keese had to go. He did learn a college  life-skill during  his brief time at Knoxville.  When he goes back to hunting rabbits in Pahokee,   he can use a pellet gun instead of chasing hares  through the sugar cane.  Prospects down in Pahokee will intuitively  know that Tennessee make Nu’keese a better  person despite being arrested.  Kiffin can build on this fact, thus making  a negative a positive.

That new recruiting tactic will  aid Tennessee immensely:  ” we may shitcan them, but they learn a skill anyway”!!

After a Kiffin beatdown special on Vandy,  Tennessee fans will forget about Nu’keese and his hamburgerlers.

The Southeastern Conference propaganda machine is in full swing. The Left-wing, drive-by, liberal, Mainstream Sports Media is touting the manufactured Florida and Alabama as the game of the year. The “botched” calls that propelled these teams to the SEC-CG are becoming a distant memory as Tim Tebow, Nick Saban and Herban Meyer are being welcomed like a “rock star”. Man oh man. As if people buying into the b.s. explanations out of Birmingham. They got away with it so they are using the technique again. SEC Football is totally manufactured now. I guarantee you Tebow, Nick Saban and Herban Meyer are NOT a rock stars at places not named T-Town and Gunsville. Anyone who thinks otherwise is mistaken.

Don’t doubt me, BCS bowl money is big time.  Men have been killed for 5 dollars for less…. When the reward is $34 million to the conference the conspiracy to make sure two teams are in the BCS is very plausible, I’m not saying ‘they’ planned on these two (UF/SPUAT) teams but these are the two in position to make it there, there’s an unavoidable conflict of interest with the refs being hired by the conferences. They might not have been told “Fix this game for Florida”, but these refs know in the back of their minds that a call against Florida could come back to bite them in the ass if it keeps Florida out of the BCS Championship Game.

Versatile Ole Miss senior Dexter McCluster shattered several records for both teams, gaining 284 of his staggering 324 yards from scrimmage on runs.No Rebels player had ever gained so many rushing or all-purpose yards in one game, and UT had never allowed that much to any individual opponent. Wes Rucker, Chattanooga Free Press“

He’s by far the best player we’ve played all year,” Vols junior defensive end Chris Walker said of McCluster, a 5-foot-8, 170-pound senior who made big plays as a tailback, wide receiver and special-package quarterback.

 

McClusterfucked:  The condition created  by a  dwarfish yet  highly dread-locked running back  that has left my beloved Vols New Years Bowl hopes looking like ripped unpuckered  sphincter in a graphical state of distress.   Symptoms:

• An old and confused Defensive Coordinator
• An uninspired Defensive Squad
• A confused Field Goal kicker that does not understand trajectory
• A Head Coach that refused to play 3 suspended players for the sake of  ethics and integrity.
• Linebackers that don’t converge into one in what should be an orderly fashion…until, that is, when people are in too much of a hurry to understand the concept and start cutting each other off, creating mass confusion.
• Jerrell Powe would not like this, but he can’t read. Tragic.
• Ritzy Shreveport beckons

None of the 3 “robbers” are traveling to the school-without-a-mascot. I am disappointed that Kiffin is showing weakness that other coaches have shown in the past. Remember Tubberville, Mack Brown or other coaches that have suspended players? All Kiffin is doing is hurting the school, the team, the players, the victims of the holdup, ultimately placing a sure “W” in jeopardy.

I have faith that Ocho to put on another vertical passing clinic that will dazzle the dullards in Oxford. Hell, they can’t even figure a mascot for their team…I mean shit, how hard can that be??

How long can we ride the powerful young Crompton’s broad muscular shoulders and shaven tree trunk thighs?? All the way to a presitigous New Years Day Bowl Bid. That’s how far…..

Heading down the home stretch of the CFB season still looking to get to .500. We went 2-2 ATS for the 4th straight week last week bringing the overall total to 17-19 (ATS) after a dismal 2-10 start to the season. Last week we had wins on Ore. St (+7) who won outright (31-14) over Cal, and we had some good fortune winning with Bama (-7.5) over LSU with an assist from SEC Comm. Mike Slive making sure the replay officials got the incomplete/INT call right allowing Bama to drive for the covering FG. Two bad beats on our losses. First, A&M (-3) lost to Colo. (35-34) but were up 21-10 at the half and were up 31-21 in the 4th quarter. An even worse beat came with UTEP (-6.5) up 38-31 stopping Tulane on 4th down with 4:09 left in game. UTEP then got a 1st down to seemingly ice the game. Tulane used its final 2 TOs and forced UTEP to punt. Tulane got the ball at its own 14 with 1:13 remaining. The Wave proceeded to go 86 yds. in 9 plays and scored on an 11yd. TD pass with .01 second reaming to force OT and eventually win the game. It could have easily been a 4-0 week last week. But we will march on knowing that we capped most of these games correctly and the luck will turn our way soon.

Not a ton of marquee games on the board this week and most of the lines appear to be pretty sharp. Last week there were some important games effecting the BCS and conference championships. Iowa’s luck finally ran out as they lost to N’ western and all the talk of undefeated and a BCS game came crashing down. Now they have to try and re-group without their QB (Stanzi) and go play a hot O$U team. For all intents and purposes this game will decide the Big 10 Champ. The hottest team in CFB, the Oregon Ducks, lost a high scoring game to Stanford to squelch all the talk of a BCs birth for them. more importantly, that loss greatly affects Boise’s SOS and its argument for an entry into the BCS talks. And with Bama’s win over LSU, the SECC game is set to pit Fla. v. Bama in ATL on Dec. 5th and appears to be a play in game for the BCS NC. It looks like we are heading toward a Texas v. Bama/Fla winner for the BCS NC as Texas has an easy road from here on in. But as we all know, there is no sure thing in CFB. The one team in a non-BCS conference that should be getting some love is TCU. The Frogs are very good and deserve to be in the conversation. This week’s Locks Lucky 7 are as follows: 1. Fla., 1. Bama, 1. Tex., 4. TCU, 5. Cincy, 6. GT, 7. LSU. Now onto this week picks.

1. MISS ST +13.5 v. BAMA This is mainly an SEC Bye Week theory play (5-3 ATS this year and over 70% last 3 years) as the Bullies are coming off an open week and Bama is coming off a very physical/emotional game against LSU. Bama clinched the SECW and you have to wonder if this is a letdown spot for the Tide. In the past 4 games, Bama has averaged only 20 points/game and the O is not clicking on all cylinders. RB M. Ingram is playing lights out and is the leader for the Hypesman, but QB G. McElroy has struggled and seems to be more worried about how he is perceived by his haters than how his team is performing. State relies heavily on the run game with RBs A. Dixon who ran for 252 yds against KY and has 3,604 career rushing yds. and RB C. Ducre, but this is not a great match-up for them (#12 rushing O and #105 pass O in the nation) and Bama is only allowing 68yds/game on the ground (#2 rush D). But you can expect a few new wrinkles in the O with an extra week to prepare from HC D. Mullen as he goes with a 2 headed QB system of C. Relf and T. Lee. Mullen has done a great job at State and may be the main reason the Fla. Gouger O is struggling (he was OC at Fla last year). State has a solid D and held up well against 2 very good running teams in GT and Fla. The Bullies will make this very interesting for 3 quarters if they can avoid the crucial TOs, and should keep this one within the number. BAMA 24 STATE 16

2. ORE ST -13 v. WASH I am going to keep riding the hot team here as the Beavers are really playing great under HC M. Riley and are climbing the PAC-10 ladder. While the Beavers are on the uptick, the Huskies are in free fall mode as they have dropped 5 of 6 since they shocked U$C. Last week Ore. St. easily handled Cal without a ton of contribution from the Rogers brothers who are there best offensive weapons. Beaver QB S. Canfield should be getting all conference consideration as he is extremely accurate and is spreading the ball around to a lot of people including WR D. Adeniji and TE J. Halaluni. The big mismatch in this one is Ore St.’s O versus Wash.’s D. Ore. St is #33 in total O and #19 in pass O while Wash ranks #102 in total D and #111 in pass D. I just don not see how Wash is going to come into Corvallis and stop the Beavers, especially after a heart breaking loss last week to UCLA. Ore. St has a salty D and ranks #15 against the rush led by DT S. Paea and LB K. Kristick, so Wash. will have to rely on QB J. Locher to get it done through the air. While the Huskies have improved from last year, this team is running on fumes and the Beavers have been hitting their stride. Ore St in a walk over. ORE ST 41 WASH 17

3. WISC -8.5 v. MICH This is another game where 2 teams are heading in opposite direction. The Wolverines enter this contest on a 3 game skid and have lost 5 of 6 after a great start. The boo birds are coming out for HC R. Rod and things look a little dicey in Ann Arbor. The Badgers seem to be playing their best ball right now and will have the motivational edge as they will easily remember how they blew the game to Michigan last year. Wisky was up 19-7 and gave up 20 points in the 4th quarter to lose 27-25. HC B. Beliema will not have to do a ton to have them ready to play this weekend. Michigan’s D is a total disaster ranking #89 in total D, #80 in rush D and #83 in pass D. Wisky is a very balanced O averaging 206 yds. on the ground and 198 yds through the air. The badgers will relay mainly on a 3 RB tandem of J. Clay, M. Ball and Z. brown to wear down the Wolverines. Also watch for young WR N. Toon (the son of former NFL WR Al Toon) as he ash made some huge receptions the past few weeks. As long as QB Tolzien can throw the ball to the right team, Wisconsin should not have a problem in this game. Also, Michigan comes in very banged up as QB T. Forcier and RB B. Minor are nursing injuries. Wisconsin has had a tendency this year to get way ahead and let teams back in the game late, but I am not sure Michigan has the will or the want to in this one. WISC 35 MICH 20

OBSCURE GAME DEGENERATE SPECIAL (TROY +14 @ ARK) I really like the Trojans catching 2 Tds here as they are a very talented team. Troy ranks #10 in total O and #7 in pass O while the Hogs rank #96 in total D and #116 in pass D. This should be a high scoring affair and I think Troy can match Arky score for score. ARK 42 TROY 37

My name is MDV, and I deliver the pigskin with accuracy of a JUGGS machine; the red zone beckons…..

I am fueled by the unbridled optimism that maybe, just maybe, I will continue to climb even higher in the QB rankings; as if my league leading 21 TDs aren’t high enough. Florida, Bama, UCLA and the Barn should be counting their damned blessings they got me early. They know it and I know it. Fuck them to hell.

I am mindlessly driven to “seize” every opportunity to “pad” yardage stats on 3rd and long. In fact, I pray for 3rd and longs when others have their sphincters puckering tight…I am Oblivious to fail

But rest assured that my tanked was topped off by a South Carolina Grad

Did any of you notice the correlation me shaving my porn ’stache removal to that of my on-field performance getting ‘blowed up”? I still honcho up a “can do” spirit in a future, and By God I will get it done

All brawn, anyone else notice that the opposing fans are seeing the Beast of the East beginning to rise … I see the fear in their pig-eyes….so maybe it ain’t all Monte after all?

All brain, they’re are starting to see Lane can coach? Lane Kiffin is a visionary. That is correct…a prophet.

Coach Kiffin is driven by passion and stopped by nothing…Coach Kiffin will be ridiculed for his decision to let his players play the game, great men often are, but true Vols like Corey B. Zickefoose, recognize the service that Kiffin has given to the school and his team….

Black hooded janzen Jackson is built to reward the doers who climb behind the wheel of Prius every day but work even harder; I don’t care if one of our players is caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl, as long as they suit up and show class on Saturdays. Go Big Orange!!!

I am built to last, I have yet to see a team play better than the Tennessee did last week. TOTAL DOMINATION. After Saturday, we will be in the mix for a major bowl bid. Remember, it is all in the coaching

I achieve, but my goal is always to overachieve, count on this: I will continue to beat ass….

I am built to reward the doers who catch my passes for “6″ and remain loyal

My tank is still full, and Verne, Gary and Tebow? they’re so full of shit …Lane Kiffin is the head coach of what i have known all my life as Tennessee football… i am Tennessee football and anyone who wants to say I’m not can step on that (excuse me baby Jesus) fucking line and I’ll spank your redneck ass back to your dirt ass poor Mississippi/Alabama/ Florida farm, cause it don’t matter where you’re from, my ass whipping leave marks on that ass….

I carry a full payload of tough skin on my ass that delivers a stinging blow on left wing liberal sports media. I like so many others believe that Bama’s Mark Ingram is overrated and could not carry Montario Hardstey’s jock. Ingram would be a 3rd stringer in Knoxville……our tank is full…

Do you feel my poker stare? hopefully not, i want it to be surprise when I wallop you in the face with a 2×4 …whoever you are, recognize that my Vols are a program that is back on track to push your broke-ass over the precipice and our beatdowns will set your program back 10 years.

I carry the accolades of my school, the pride of my Conference (minus slive and his officials) and the tons upon tons of great gridiron choices I have made (and people once say I have no mental processing capacity, the nerve!)

I carry the great reputation and respect of the Ghosts of Neyland past in my tool kit…I am 3 parts of awesome and dark magic, I could go on, but I don’t like to boast…

I have proved the coaching ability of Lane Kiffin and David Reaves…… Where are the naysayer’s now? Where are all the media that questioned Tennessee’s offense? I am leading us back home to the Promised Land……

And I deliver the bad news without fail …Tebow is #9, I am #3 in QB rankings…and Ole Miss still doesn’t have a mascot, do they?

My tank is full, and Mike Slive is … Well, you know …a corrupt little fucker….

The road ahead of me is long but I am hoping to end up in the Cotton Bowl or some other prestigious New Years bowl …I pray my Lord that we get Notre Dame.

But I know I am Vol …and some of you pig-eyed fucks aren’t. What else needed to be said? My Tennessee offense is so high powered that tackles against us are like time to a dog. In that case, 1 tackle is like 7 normal tackles.

I will not yield, because Kiffin doesn’t know how to slow the fuck down …Here is his email sig…’I reject your challenge because you are no challenge. But I’ll be happy to beat up on you some more.’ Clubber Lang

I will not down-shift, because my future doesn’t include fiddling around with foreskins, that will be from Florida, and it’s unreliable …

Here’s a dose of the orange and white that full of heart, toughness, and guts and is always able to hit you in the mouth and will do whatever it takes to win. then people from tennessee can say maybe were not as intellectual as other people (smarter than Alabama for sure) , but we know how to beat ass. I’m so happy we found our way again….

My name is MDV, again, its not Tebow and I can score a touchdown anytime I want….
