That is some steamy example of female pulchritude by any definition. If one removed the garments that were defiled by the bammer emblem my position would be reinforced. :p

You are correct, she is "average" (at best). remove her garments? Yeah, I'd hit it, BUT, she ain't all that (Too Me).

I'd rather he... and his avatar leave. JMO

Edit: I get along with almost everyone, I just don't like him. Too much Blah, Blah, Blah..............

I am just hoping Lane has gone around/above Slime already. I am hoping he has contacted the NCAA and today's press release of the ONLY other "reprimand" is clearly worded and intended to be taken in a different more personal note. Clearly someone has to see throught this madness....

Slime reminds me of that Dr. on "Any Given Sunday". He gets to be close enough to the action to think he or his opinion matter. He is supposed to be an advocate for the league and all it's memebers, even the one's he doesn't personally like. What a terribly embarrassing commissioner ! In the best league of College football in America we deserve better. I am more embarrassed by Slive than any player/coach/booster in the entire South Eastern Conference

The problem here is that the Commissioner has no one to reprimand his office. Lets face it....when not one but 3 or 4 of your coaches, and untold millions in the TV audience can see there is a problem, you look very pompous ignoring it. Its like saying....Yes, you got screwed, and you'll by cracky like it!

The solution is simple: Start a firemikeslive.com web site. I'm sure we'd have no trouble getting Georgia, Arkansas, and MS State fans to hop aboard.

Slive’s reprimand to Kiffin now public
October 30th, 2009 5:20 pm
Posted By: MrSEC.com

This letter of reprimand from SEC Commissioner Mike Slive to Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Jimmy Hyams, sports radio host in Knoxville.

Dear Coach Kiffin:

This is with regard to your post-game statements concerning the officiating in the Tennessee at Alabama football game played in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on October 24th, 2009.

The actions and statements constitute public criticism of officials, contrary to the provisions of Bylaw 10.5.4 of the Southeastern Conference Manual, which reads, “coaches, players and support personnel shall refrain from all public criticism of officials.” It is your responsibility as a coach to comply with the policies of the Southeastern Conference and to know the football playing rules.

As a result of your comments, I’m sending you this letter of reprimand. This reprimand will be made public.

Since it is clear from your public comments that you believe this letter “mean(s) nothing”, let me be equally as clear to you. The next time you, or a member of your staff, make public comments of this nature, you will be suspended from all coaching duties for one or more games, and the institution may be subjected to a substantial fine. I also remind you that this is your second public reprimand in your brief tenure as Tennessee’s Head Football Coach and on both occasions you were wrong about the applicable rules.

Sincerely,

Michael Slive

The problem is Slive thinks he has more power than he actually does. Who is more important the head coach of a university or the comish of the conference. Come on!

I have several problems with this letter. Slime made several "digs" which I found unprofessional: he referred to Kiffin's brief tenure unnecessarily; I think it was a dig. The fact that he mentioned Kiffin thought the letter meant nothing was untrue; again a dig. Kiffin made a similar statement in regards to a different kind of letter, lol. I have written several letters of reprimand, and I have always stayed professional because that's the way they should be. It's not supposed to be personal. I guess this says a lot about Slime.

Since it is not a penalty to throw your helmet with a live ball on the field, then the whole UT team should take off their helmets after the first UT score on USC tomorrow night and throw them on the ground.

“Tennessee players Janzen Jackson (15) and Art Evans (25) react after the Volunteers successfully made an onside kick in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009. Tennessee recovered the ball but failed to score when Alabama blocked a last second field goal and won 12-10. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)”

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but that pic does indeed blow at least one big fat hole in CLK's unsupported inuendo that there was unscrupulous officiating in the UA vs UT game.

IMO, there's a big difference in removing a helmet in a "showboating" manner and doing it the way Jackson and Cody did -- spontaneously, without forethought and without intent to behave in an unsportsman like manner. I do think the showboating stuff should be called, but I also think letting it go for Jackson and Cody were good no calls -- in keeping with the spirit of the rules. The celebration rules are primarily meant to alleviate poor sportsmanship and excessive delay of game due to celebration. Jackson and Cody did not exhibit poor sportsmanship or delay the game. Good no calls, IMO.

For those arguing that a flag should have been thrown on Cody, then why did Kiffin apparently ignore the fact that one could have been thrown on Jackson as well? The resulting penalty would have moved the ball back fifteen yards. I don't know whether that would have made it 1st & 25 or if it would have been 1st & 10. At 1st & 10 the fifteen yards would have made it much more challenging for UT to get within FG range with the time that was left and no time-outs. At 1st & 25 it's pretty unlikely UT would have even converted a first down.

The bottom line is that Kiffin's complaints about the officiating unfairly favoring Bama in such a way that it impacted the outcome of the game have no basis in fact or justification whatsoever.

Regarding Kiffin not knowing the rules, a penalty for removing the helmet is by rule a dead ball foul regardless of whether or not it happens during a live play. Dead ball foul penalties are assessed after the results of the play. On the FG block, Bama recovered the ball. So even if there had been some time on the clock, Bama would retain possession and be penalized fifteen yards. Lots of folks have posted arguments based on various details related to the play, but none of those matter other than the fact that Bama recovered the blocked kick and that the infraction is a dead ball foul. There is no valid interpretation of the rules or events that supports the notion that UT should have gotten a "do over" on the blocked FG try.

Similarly, Kiffin's inuendo about Bama sabatoging their headsets was just more of the same from Kiffin -- insinuations of cheating and blaming of others when the facts show that the opposite is true. The headset problem was caused by UT people plugging too much stuff into the same outlet(s) instead of spreading things out among the other available outlets, resulting in a tripped circuit breaker. Some Bama folks rushed to UT's sideline and found and solved the problem fairly quickly. BTW, during the outage Bama's OC was up in the press box unable to communicate to the field while UT's DC was on the sideline. Bama went three and out on it's opening drive and then the headsets were functioning again. Caused by UT, advantage UT, fixed by Bama.

I think there is a big difference in taking your helmet off while the play is still going on and the ball isn't dead and taking it off way after the play where the refs had already declared it UT's ball - and also 1-foot from your team's sideline compared to the middle of the field.

And lol @ your headset argument.

How bout the play where the Bammer defenssive player was in the back field with Hardesty before the ball was snapped. Thaty was terribly obvious.

I thought the same thing. Giving no concrete quotes of the statements CLK said in violation but taking the time to put "means nothing" in there referencing a quote where Kiffin was referring to a different kind of letter, showed that not only is Slive vindictive, he isn't very intelligent. The final sentence was also completely unnecessary. If he had cut those 2 sentences he would have been okay.

For those of you who are wondering who keeps Slive in check I think it's the university presidents. They could probably fire him if they wanted to.

YOU KNOW Why are we being preached to by a Bammer. They have been singled out by the NCAA as having the worst integrity of any program around. This is coming from the fanbase of Mike Price strip clubbin, Albert Means Free Suv having, Julio Jones Fishing with Old white guy that doesnt know him, Coach Accidently Bumping into prospects, Lying Miami Coach with little integrety , textbook stealing, Wins Vacating, David Palmer Agenting, 3rd time in 16 years of being on probation having,home of the Alabama criminal tide. Are you really gonna Argue Kiffins use of Smoke machines and calling out Questionable calls from suspect refs and think they are at all comparable to the lying, cheating bunch Alabama is and has been. i really dont think you guys can help it though, after watching this rivalry for over 30 years it is so engrained in this program that you just feel entitled to get these breaks.
