My daughter has a new boyfriend, who happens to be a passionate vols fan. I've tried to take the high road and say "we're gators first, and SEC second", "we cheer for UT in every game but one", etc, etc, etc. Nothing has worked.
He told me last night that despite how I feel about the SEC, UT, etc, he would be happy if Florida lost every game we played regardless of who we were playing, blah, blah, blah. I finally gave up the "high road" and started trash talking, of which I'm pretty good at. We had to be separated by my wife and daughter. Of course, I wanted to beat the vols convincingly in September for Kiffin's sake, but now I want to BURY them just so I can rub it in BIG TIME! :) Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: Shane Ford To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2009 9:28 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [SUN]: Vols, Kiffin deal with defections YEP! This is the kind of crap that I'm hearing from the majority of Vols fans around here. The ones that are appreshensive (which are only a few that I know) are taking the lets wait and see approach, but are very hopeful. I find very curious that they don't understand what all the fuss is about with his comments and think that us Gator fans are being overly sensitive. Shane GO GATORS!!! -------------- Original message from "Gatornet Admin" <[email protected]>: -------------- Oliver and Shane will probably agree with me, but I can tell you that the vol fans LOVE him! They say he reminds them of SOS in the 90's and they are hoping for the same kind of results we had with SOS.

His own fans? - tired of "all hat and no cattle", "all flash no cash", etc His staff? - Kiffin raises the bar - when they have no talent to jump that high Other SEC schools? Kiffin accusing them of cheating then we find out it is Kiffin that is violating rules His own players? - leaving the team in droves. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gatortalk] [SUN]: Vols, Kiffin deal with defections From: "Shane Ford" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, May 08, 2009 9:44 pm To: Gatortalk <[email protected]>, Vols, Kiffin deal with defections The Associated Press Published: Friday, May 8, 2009 at 3:48 p.m. Last Modified: Friday, May 8, 2009 at 3:48 p.m. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A total of 11 Tennessee players with scholarships have left the Volunteers football program under new coach Lane Kiffin, including four since the end of spring practice. A team spokesman confirmed that wide receivers Ahmad Paige and Tyler Maples, offensive guard Darris Sawtelle and quarterback B.J. Coleman have left the program since the team’s Orange and White scrimmage game on Apr. 18. Kiffin, who was introduced at Tennessee last December, said during a Big Orange Caravan stop earlier this week that he only wants players who want to play for the Vols. Tennessee is allowed a total of 85 scholarship players each season under NCAA rules. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
