Lil' Wayne's Latest Shout-Out to Lane Kiffin and the Vols

VolBrian — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:08:34 -0000

Joel fanshotted (fanshat?) this just about an hour ago.

Bruce Feldman of ESPN tweeted:

More "street cred" for #Vols Lil Lane from Lil Wayne (go to 15:00 mark)

He also posted a link to a Lil' Wayne UStream broadcast where he talks about the Vols for a minute or two. The video is here, but I thought I would just transcribe it for everyone's ease of reading.

So, here is Lil Wayne on Lane Kiffin and the Tennessee Vols:

"....shout out all my people at ESPN, shout out Lane Kiffin and the whole Tennessee Volunteers team. I heard they [the University I believe] don't indulge in the things that I said because I said 'smoke weed talk [fulmerized] like Lane Kiffin' but Lane what you don't know is you gonna be sittin' in some recruit's living room and his mother is gonna call him from the back room and he's gonna come up front listenin' to an iPod. On his iPod he's gonna be listening to 'smoke weed talk [fulmerized] like Lane Kiffin' and you'll be able to say 'hi son, I'm Lane Kiffin I'm who he's talkin' about' and you just may get a recruit because of that. Don't thank me, just apologize for not thanking me.

Naw, but for real though, I rock with you Lil' Lane. I heard that's your new name they call you Lil' Lane. And all them boys over there at Tennessee, I rock with y'all!! And y'all stumped ummm I watched y'all stump South Carolina tonight y'all did y'all's thing. I am a big fan of the Ole' Ball Coach, but y'all did y'all's thing tonight and I rocks with y'all. I LOVE the black and orange jerseys you killed 'em, thank you...."

That's it, but the recruiting value of that is tremendous, and any rival fan who thinks otherwise is delusional. I'm sure we'll take some more "street-cred" comments, but they can keep it up as long as Lil' Wayne does!

"I did see the rerun," Kiffin said. "It was pretty bad but we'll worry about our team and what we...

"I did see the rerun," Kiffin said. "It was pretty bad but we'll worry about our team and what we can control. We've got a lot of work to do. Obviously, he'll discipline his team - or not - however he feels."

Kiffin says he got the memo on officials

I freakin' love this guy!

Meyer: Tebow hit late vs. Georgia

Sooooooo, what was that about fines and suspensions for saying officials missed a call Mr. Slive? Are you going to punish your golden boy?

Andy Is Sloooooooow!

I just wanted to see who all else caught Jeet telling Tex "damn! Andy is sloooow" on the replay. I just thought that was hilarious, especially since that play was giving us the lead in a now 8-4 game. AP was pretty slow getting around third, but as long as he doesn't hurt himself like Wang, it's all good.

Also, way to go ARod and Nick Swisher. I'm looking forward to the possibility of seeing Carl Crawford in pinstripes next season, but I hope it's not at the expense of losing Nick Swisher. His presence in the locker room has been invaluable this season in my opinion.

Let's go Yanks! Let CC and the guys blast Blanton tomorrow night and take the 3-1 lead!

Is Saban Gonna Jump At The Cash....Again???

VolBrian — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:33:26 -0000

With all of the teams doing awful this season in the NFL, the odds are very high that there will be some very highly paid new coaches coming to an NFL stadium near you next season.

Candidates for replacement include:

Jeff Fisher - Tennessee Titans

Raheem Morris - Tampa Bay Bucs

Steve Spagnuolo - St. Louis Rams

Todd Haley - Kansas City Chiefs

Tom Cable - Oakland Raiders

....among others.

So, my question to you, Nick Saban, is whether or not you're gonna take this opportunity to make a buck and try to become the highest paid head coach in the history of the NFL?

You definitely have a history of jumping at paychecks. Maybe it's part of your short man complex, maybe not, but you know Al Davis, Jerry Jones, and Ralph Wilson would all pay you big bucks. Now, I know you can't say anything at the moment. Just keep telling the bammers you're not going anywhere until the last possible minute. You're pretty good at that.

Remember also Saban, the likelihood of your Bama team being put on probation increases with each day that passes. Heck, you might even have to forfeit games this time instead of just vacating them once the "agent" rumors floating around a certain HB and DT are no longer rumors. So, will you do the Saban thing by jumping at the money, or will it be a Calipari-esque move to leave the mess for the next coach?

This is me calling you out Nick Saban. What are you gonna do? Don't let someone else grab all that cash, and I know you're a little afraid of getting spanked by the little 'ole NCAA.......again. Do the Sabalipari thing you know you want to do!
