Someone mentioned we (UT fans) would not tolerate unethical/dishonest behavior. So, because Kiffin and his buddies are unethical/dishonest that means we should be too, right? Because if you send fake LOIs to USC on NSD, that is being dishonest and unethical, also. This sounds much like an "eye for an eye". I am hoping that our fans are of higher moral character than to stoop to the level of "sophomoric pranks", that serve no better purpose than to show how ridiculously stupid some people can be. Unfortunately, it would show that it is UT's fans who are stupid, which would be plastered on ESPN, and on sports talk radio wherever UT is talked about. I would like for us to be the University fans that are known to be classy and supportive. We can be supportive without being revengeful. Be patient folks, for Kiffin and those of his ilk, what goes around comes around. UT is in a new era now, look ahead and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing our players on the field in the fall.

Welcome to VN; nice second post. Could not agree with you more. Although the idea is funny it should not be carried out.
There are many of us that would take the blunt of the joke for a few bonehead's actions. I for one do not want to be associated with those who pull this off. We are better, our program is better and Tennessee as a whole is better than that and should not stoop to the likes of Kiffen.
To the poster above and not Bill... I agree that this board has taken a huge hit in its credability but I think it dates to Kiffin leaving and when the board took on a large amount of new posters. Many do not know the rules (and yes, I have learned the hard way). Free speech is a right but within the limitations this forum allows. Claiming "Free Speech" shows your ignorance.
Are you serious??? Do not see why not What reason (other than personal interest) would warrant it being taken down?I do not think the forum is the corcect place to warrant such juvenile behavior What cardinal law of the VN constitution does this thread break? ?, again, just agreeing that this is not a forum that should promote such behavior Are threads always in risk of being deleted once the conversation shifts to topics that the message board elite don't like? Yes, and I am not an elite by any stretch
For the record, I respect the opinion of the guys saying not to do it. It was a modern miracle that the worst thing that happened in the riots was a few mattresses burning. And if they were from dorms, then the kids will just have to pay for them. No harm, no foul. But I could see where just one person sends in a fake LOI under Markeith's name or something, and at the very least causes an investigation. So this one, probably not a good idea. Sorry guys for my rant, for I need to ponder my battles before fighting them. But it's encouraging that even attorneys in Knoxville have a sense of humor. (Lane Kiffin Sewege Center)
