Lane Kiffin Putting Up Billboards
I’ll believe it when it actually happens, but oh boy this could get good!
Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin announced plans for an advertising plan last week while addressing his audience at the SEC football media days. More specifically, he said a “billboard will be going up” in Florida next month.
He’s been given a lot of crap since becoming UT’s coach, but this is pretty awesome. Don’t get me wrong he clearly is insane, and I would never want him as MY coach. Still, from an outsider perspective you have to love the antics. My favorite of the authors ideas is this one:
Suppose UT loses by a lopsided margin to the Gators this September. Monday’s billboards in Florida and LA could read: “We need help. Are you man enough to Volunteer?”

The story itself isn’t funny, although nobody being hurt helps in the hilarity. The best part is this quote from Kindle’s attorney, Brian Roark.
“It was probably something he should not have been doing,” Roark said.
I’m glad he clarified that for us all.

Today, Paulus announced that he’ll be enrolling at Syracuse University for graduate school AND playing football this coming fall. Read more
Former Nebraska QB, Keller, Suing EA
Former Nebraska quarterback, Samuel Keller is suing EA for using his likeness in their highly popular NCAA Football game. It seems as if he is not a huge fan of being beat up in virtual form. I’m not sure where the argument comes from. According to Keller, he thinks it is a little unfair how his likeness is so realistic. He also claims that his likeness is a very important thing.
