Given the height of those billboards, I'm perfectly happy with UT spending the money simply for the chance idiot Florida fans will be placed in peril of a fatal fall when they try to vandalize them.

I think you forget that South Florida is filled with "Soldiers"...

After hearing Lane's speech about getting some attention and the spotlight, this is just another part of the plan. This will get media attention. This will be a big story in FL, especially leading up to the UT-UF game. This will get more attention outside of game news than anything else. In politics this is earned media. The benefits will surpass the costs.

If Kiffin is in charge of rule compliance, count on it facing south, along the southbound lanes.

Do you go outside much? You have over 14,000 posts on another teams forum....on top of that most of them are weak troll attempts. I think its time you found a new hobby.

Of all the things to be concerned about regarding UT football right now, I don't think other peoples feelings are one of them. If that would offend someone, I don't want them at UT anyway. God forbid someone get pissed off at us.

I don't think that we'll piss off recruits, only locals. I think recruits will dig it, and I could care less what the jort-wearers think!

Absolutely. The thought of opposing fans biting the dust while trying to defend their team's honor is pretty comical. I'm all for it.

Most of these type of billboards are now digital. Just hook up a web cam to watch and then prosecute the vandals.

LG feeds off of us trying to piss him off. He get's his enjoyment from pestering opposing rivals on their own board. Kinda sad, but if that's how pitiful his life is, then so be it!

Hopefully playing in traffic is one of his hobbies...

Per Rivals:

"Now the Vols are taking it to another level. Tennessee has purchased billboard advertisements touting the new era of Volunteers football under Kiffin and promoting the ubiquitously-talented Eric Berry. The images displayed on the billboards will be of both Kiffin and Berry. They will appear throughout the state of Tennessee, metro-Atlanta and South Florida beginning Aug. 1."

Keep it up Lame Kittin. It is just too bad that these Billboards will only make you look even dumber once the Gators beat you 77-0! And after you don't even go .500. Oh yeah, and this whole Berry thing won't last 3 weeks... the Freshman Debose will torch him for 3 TDs.

Keep dreaming Tenn... It is nice to see that you all have something to be excited about... too bad it is a stupid Billboard (sorry to tell you that the Billboard can't throw a Football). Meanwhile, the Gators will worry about our REAL Rivals... Georgia, FSU, LSU and where ever Spurrier is Coaching.

Its Great to Be a Florida Gator!!!!!!

Did you know... John Heisman does the Tim Tebow pose!

John Heisman has kissed Tony Joiner too? That seems unlikely.

sidenote
Wouldn't expect a Gator to know anything about football prior to about 1994, but John Heisman didn't pose for the trophy... he died of old age less than a year after the first was handed out.

"Joey Harrington’s 10-story billboard in New York did not help him win the Heisman Trophy, as was its intent.

But the billboard, put up in 2001 across from Madison Square Garden when the former Falcons quarterback was a senior at Oregon, accomplished perhaps a broader purpose for the Ducks, his college team. It got the attention of plenty of oversize teenage boys.

“It said to every player that came to Oregon, if you get yourself to the point where you’re in the race for a national award, if you put yourself in the Heisman race, we’ll put your face in New York,” Harrington said. “It definitely sent a message.”

Tennessee is sending a similar message to high school football recruits in metro Atlanta. The school has put up two billboards with Heisman Trophy candidate Eric Berry, a safety from Creekside High School, along with new coach Lane Kiffin. "
...

“Every high school player, every parent of one of those players thinks, ‘That could be my son one day,’ [or] ‘That could be me,’ ” said Richard Southall, director of the University of North Carolina’s College Sport Research Institute.

....

Chris Fuller, Tennessee’s associate athletics director for sales and marketing, has said the intent is to extend the Volunteers brand and promote Berry.

...

How effective the billboards are remains to be seen. But the fact that they are being seen is the point."

I don't expect that it will have any significant impact but it can't hurt. Billboard ads tend to target middle to upper income demographics and the majority of people who own automobiles are typically more affluent and mobile. I don't see a recruit seeing a billboard and saying- "Yeah, that billboard convinces me to go to Tennessee."
