[Editor's Note: What follows is the second in a new series of regular posts that you will start to see here on MSF called Wendell Willkie's Spam Cleansing (WWSC for short).

Throughout the day I participate in email conversations with friends about hot sports topics. One of my friends in particular is very active in these conversations. This is that friend.]

Lane Kiffin… all hat, no cattle as my texas brethren would say.

How does Lane Kiffin score one of the premiere jobs in college football presenting a resume with more emptiness than wins?

Tennessee Student Perspective: Kiffin Burns UT, Students Burn Back

January 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment

[Editor's note: Happy to have our buddy J-Dools, a student at the University of Tennessee, back with a new piece of content. I wonder what inspired him to write today...]

Lane Kiffin showed himself to be no more than a “Trojan Coach.” For those of you who don’t understand the ancient Greek metaphor, simply, Kiffin is a joke.

In a shocking and sudden move yesterday, Lane Kiffin announced he would be leaving the University of Tennessee and take the head coaching job at USC. The move capped off a string of negative events for UT athletics and left students confused and furious.

Bottom line, Kiffin is a snake and the University of Tennessee got bit.

NFL Power Rankings: Week 13

1. New Orleans Saints (11-0)

The Saints get the bump because of their dominant performance against the Patriots, a team the Colts needed a late comeback miracle to beat.

Drew Brees is unconscious. These receivers are unstoppable. And how good did Mike McKenzie look back in a Saints jersey?

New Orleans and Indianapolis both remain on their course to perfection, and have both done it so far by beating the New England Patriots. For the first time in NFL history, two teams have made it to 11-0.

This quest for perfection, for both of these teams, is getting very exciting. Could it happen?

2. Indianapolis Colts  (11-0)

I’m not sure how long this team can spot their opponents 17 points and continue to win, but somehow, they just keep on winning.

Tennessee v Auburn: Underachievers and Overachievers

The Tennessee Volunteers come into their match-up against Auburn a little battered and bruised. The Vols will have to step up and play through the pain to shut down an undefeated Auburn team.

UT Running back Montario Hardesty suffered a knee injury last week against Ohio. Hardesty has been limited in practice but expects to play Saturday. This season has been a coming-out party for Hardesty and the Vols will need him to carry the football.

Nearly the entire Tennessee defense is dealing with minor injuries. Monte Kiffin will have to prepare this unit to face a high-octane Tigers offense. Auburn has scored over 35 points in each of their games so far.

However, everything isn’t as doom and gloom as it sounds for Tennessee.
