I thought he showed zero class the whole time (13 months and 12 days) he was at UT, definitely zero class when he snuck out of town in the dark to become USC's head coach. Seems appropriate that USC fired him in the middle of the night at the airport.:-D
Even funnier is that someone has already updated his Wikipedia page to reflect the firing.
I usually can not find joy in someone else's loss...but in Boy Wonder's case it sure is hard not to. As a die-hard Gator, seeing Lame leave the Vols was bitter sweet/lol. Even while Lame was still the Vol's coach, Vol fans I talked to were not happy with what he brought to the program. I personally miss the Phil Fulmer/Steve Spurrier era.
Yeah, I make a special exception for Kiffin.
Stephen,
Are the leaves starting to change yet? I always look forward to visiting east Tennessee/western North Carolina in the fall. Always stay somewhere in the Gatlinburg area. What part of east Tennessee are you located?
Hijack - Smoky Mountain Fall Leaves
I'm near Knoxville and we're just starting to get the cooler temps at night that seem to trigger the leaves. Probably another couple of weeks in this area, but in Gatlinburg and the mountains they're likely closer due to the higher elevations and cooler temps.
Here's a link to the National Park Service Web Cams for the Smoky Mountains that will give you a way to keep an eye on it.
I'll be heading to Mickey's tourist trap in Orlando with the family the third week in October and we always take the I-40, I-26, I-95 route. We went at the same time last year and the leaves were putting on a pretty good show on the way through TN, NC and the northern part of SC.

Thanks for the link
I drove to an observation lookout above Gatlinburg in 1978 and it was three days later when I came down, loved those mountains.
:good:

Thanks Stephen,
I'd be living and working up there too if it was flat and warm. Otherwise it's just perfect.:-)
This will be a case of "out of the frying pan and into the fire". :-O Coach "O" will be interesting. He was for us in Mississippi. Had some ODD ideas. Maybe he will fit better out there. Just glad he's no longer here to mess up our teams any more. II wish y'all well.
Could not happen to a better jerk.
