Apparently even riots are lame when associated with Kiffin. Just got a text from a person I trust who was there and they told me that much of what has been tweeted was exaggerated. UT students did chase a car, but Kiffin wasn't in it, and the video shows that, just like a puppy dog, if they had caught the car, they wouldn't have known what to do with it.. There was no tear gas fired, although WBIR still says there was a mattress set afire and that the fire department extinguished it, and there was a heavy police presence. The smoke and steam could account for the supposed tear gas. Most importantly, while the rock was covered with graffiti, it has been repainted. Also, there was an attempt to rush the stadium, but the raging mob was stopped by one police officer.
Yeah. One officer. And it wasn't Bufurd Pusser.
Heck, it wasn't even
Buford T Justus (
Gratuitous Amazon Plug for the week.)
Apparently Tennessee kids haven't got the hang of this whole rioting thing.
Or they figured that Kiffin wasn't worth the effort.
I'll close it with one last tweet from
Renaldo Woolridge:
The chant that you can hear around campus "ITS GREAT TO BE A TENNESSEE VOL" thats why I love this school!
Yep.
