Knoxville is Burning

Author: Junior


(Art students from the University of Tennessee won 1st place in the rock, graffiti contest last night)

So it appears the student-body at Tennessee wasn’t too happy about Lane Kiffin’s decision to leave Knoxville for Southern Cal. Last night, on Tennessee’s campus, thousands of students rioted in reaction to Kiffin’s sudden departure as the head football coach. Just when you thought Tennessee’s reputation as a University couldn’t get any worse, this happens. The hatred for Kiffin has also gone viral. There are several Facebook pages dedicated to Kiffin’s departure. One called, “Dear Lane Kiffin, We hate you. Love, the Vols” has 17,577 members… already.

    Great discussion. And I REALLY like that you practice what you preach. That’s when you can tell a post has come together.
    And I’m also fascinated by how fresh you made the routine [admit it: what you just shared has been regurgitated millions of time. ;-) ].
    Ben Johnson said people don’t need taught as much as they need reminding.
    Good work.
