Will the real Lane Kiffin please shut up?

After another wonderful weekend of college football where Georgia, Florida, North Carolina won, plus Florida State and Michigan won (to make my husband happy), I was still quite annoyed at the end of the day and into this week. Why would I be disappointed, I ask myself? With the UNC and Georgia offense finally producing and Florida getting its first SEC win, how could I even consider not enjoying my whole day? First of all, it started when Tennessee decided to hire Lane Kiffin. He is a man with very little on his resume besides being the offensive coordinator to USC when we all know that Pete Carroll is the mastermind. Plus his miserable stint as the Oakland Raiders head coach where he blamed everyone but himself for his pathetic effort. Then, as we all heard about 100 times on ESPN last week, he made the infamous speech where he said he was going to be singing Rocky Top all night long after beating Florida. He also accused Urban Meyer of cheating when he himself has been reprimanded too many times to count AND he was dumb enough to be on ESPN breaking rules when he decided to talk to recruits on the air..."smart guy." Even worse, he accused Mark Richt of cheating...really? An incredible Christian man is going to be accused of cheating by a man with that track record? Let's be serious.
After all of this, plus losing to UCLA(again), he was still in the state of mind that he was going to beat Florida. While most of the experts were saying the spread was over 25 points(and with my expertise hoping for something like 35), he still believed he could win. I totally understand why he would want his team to believe they could win, plus in the SEC anything can happen, but he just got plain annoying. So when UF didn't beat them by a whole lot, I was a little disappointed, but even more disappointed by what has happened since the game. First of all, no sideline reporter in their right mind should ask a coach whether he is happy that the team did better than expected even though they lost(another reason I should be on the sidelines). Secondly, why does Kiffin keep talking? He claims that Urban Meyer didn't talk about the flu his players had until after they didn't play as well as they wanted. Would any coach tell another team they were playing before the game that their players were sick? Not too smart of a coach to tell the other team that some of their best players are weak? So why does Lane Kiffin keep jabbing his mouth and digging deeper holes? Do Tennessee fans like all of this talk? Do they think this is good for the university just to have a little flare? Is breaking NCAA rules the only way to catch up to the other SEC schools? Is he inspiring his team? I truly want to know the method to his madness as I would hope he is smarter than what keeps flying out of his mouth!
This is the reason I can't wait for this weekend. I mean, we have already had an upset with the overrated Ole Miss team losing to South Carolina, UNC has a chance to start its bid at winning the ACC, Georgia has yet another tough game against a PAC 10 team, and Florida can't rest while visiting Kentucky. No more drama. No more talking. Just regular, PURE college football where everything is decided on the field instead of in front of the tv camera. My only worry is that I am sitting on the west coast without my husband and doggies, where I may miss some games because I will be stuck watching PAC 10 games. What a bother, but at least it's football. Another fun week in the fall so either way I am going to enjoy and make the most of every Saturday!
My picks last Saturday were only ok with me going 9-5, so I hope to make the most of this weekend.
