re: RIP Steve Kiner

Posted by sojourner44 on 4/25/25 at 9:05 am
I was an undergrad at U.T. that year. I heard that somebody brought a jackass to the stadium with 'Steve Kiner' painted on it. Around Knoxville Steve was afterward referred to as the 'mouth of the south'.
Great players have come and gone at Tennessee for over a century and the program is the strongest it has ever been. I'm not worried.

BTW: I don't number Iamaleva as one of the greats. He was good, but not that good. If he had stayed, he might have been great.
As a Vol fan and UT grad, I'll make the same comment I made about Jon Gruden a few years ago: I hope I never hear his name in the same sentence with the University of Tennessee again.

His daddy has succeeded in making him radioactive. Unless he is the second coming of Joe Montana or Tom Brady, he's going down in history as an example of overplaying his hand.

I have often wondered how he kept a job, much less how he became the sports editor of the state wide newspaper. Warmed over outhouse rumors written in a manner that would embarrass a mediocre fifth grader are his best efforts.
What happened when the "reigning Big 12 champs" played a serious SEC team this year?
With this offense, I'd be happy to dominate Vanderbilt.
If a bullfrog had wings he wouldn't have to bump his arse would he?

Let Texas have it west of the Mississippi. Nothing there but jackrabbits, rattlesnakes, and tumbleweeds anyway.
More input from T-shirt alumni who resent the fact that there are folks who take baths more than once a week, can point out China on a globe, and still have more than three teeth.
According to Freeze, if Auburn wins, it's because of him and Jesus; if they lose, it's on the players.
I had a great uncle who lived in California during the 30s when thousands of Okies were fleeing there from the dust bowl. My uncle told me how you could tell a rich Okie from a poor one: a rich one had two mattresses tied on the back of his truck.

Has anyone suggested a salary cap to be imposed on college football?
Last night proved nothing. There are least a dozen high school teams in the state that could have given the hogs a better fight.
I left Knoxville in 1975. The Knoxville and the university I knew and loved are long gone. I miss them.
Any way you cut it, this was a chickenshit stunt, both on the part of Texas and Shlossnozzle.
This is a hell of a burden on the Vols--keeping the A & M trophy case bare. Other teams have done it for the last eighty-five years. It would be a big embarrassment if the Vols were to break the string.
Directions to Texas: go west until you smell shite (you're in Oklahoma), go south until you step in it. You're there.

Problem is that Arkansas can't hit for shite.
