		<title>The Genius that is Mike Slive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well he did get it right. For all the hoopla, criticism, and bad PR, Mike Slive did what he had to do. Namely, make good on his word. To have skirted those words or whittled them down to a fine point would have been petty and partial.
Not that rule 10.5.4 aka &#8216;The Kiffin Clause&#8217;  is the best [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Recruiting Fix: Something Special Brewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, what a week for recruiting, huh? There are all sorts of rumors and commitments flying around and it would not surprise many if several of the guys we had on campus this past weekend end up as Vols on National Signing Day.

		<title>Slippery Slive Super Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mike Slive, the affable, charismatic SEC commissioner finds himself in a quandary. His outspoken, brash, dangerous arch villain (apparently Slive fashions himself a superhero) Lane Kiffin recently pushed him over the edge. Slive said enough was enough.
In effect Lane tied the Commissioners hands. After all there can be no public criticism of sporting officials in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guitar Shots to The Head: Let Loose From the Noose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frankly, the whining about the black jerseys has me scratching my head a bit.  I know the Christmas shopping season is upon us, but this is football not “America’s top model”. We knew when it all started that these weren’t your parent’s Vols.  If you were to Google the antithesis of Phil Fulmer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opportunity knocks and Vols take Advantage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty four points off of turnovers. It has such a nice ring to it. On a cold, wet Halloween night in Knoxville, the Vols took full advantage of every Gamecock miscue. The results came early with fourteen points in the first four minutes.
Flash back to the UCLA where the Bruins laid the ball on the [...]]]></description>
