Recall, if you will, the raised eyebrows when Lane Kiffin and his coaching staff entertained recruits by ripping off their shirts and chanting something about “Wild Boyz” (we’re sure it was interpreted as “wild boys” by the young men; the Z and capital letters are necessarily the sort of post-performance add-ons when it’s all written up and branded). Ed Orgeron, you might recall, is not a small man.
(”Why yes, that is a giant chain around my shoulders. It’s Prada.”)
So now it’s time to put together a team picture, and you know what’s better than the coaches running around with their shirts off? How about everyone with their shirts off?? Oh yes, there’s video of the largest sausage fest in college football, and it’s below the break. Hey, it’s a camera and a bunch of football players - everybody flex and nobody smile!

Nice work, guys. “That looks like an orange car. We’d better take off our shirts and stand around it.”
God, the college football season can’t get here soon enough. We can only take so much loony s**t from Lane Kiffin before we just want to see whether it translates on the field to anything but abject failure. Yes, they spent the entire offseason in the headlines, and for largely the wrong reasons; does this portend 9-3, 6-6, 3-9, or is it just all completely separate from what actually goes on in the season?

They will go 6-6 in the regular season. SEC is too tough.

The Gaydar is up on this deal

Keep posing fellas…the real fun starts when you see Tebow with his pads ON…..at the Swamp.

BurnBrother, I’ll 2nd that. I was beginning to think Brooks was going after an alternate target demographic - non-breeding males. And as BigAl said, after this year the Vols may not be able to breed - it’s going to be a long year… LK going to wish he were back with Al Nutjob in Oaktown…

I don’t get it. Is the point to get the attention of all those gay sportscasters away from Tebow?

Where is the O line? I want to see some man boobs!

Does UT now stand for the University of Thugs? Looks like Orgeron is controlling things there now and wants our beloved University to be like Miami was or Oklahoma was under Switzer. I never dreamed I’d see the day this would happen in Knoxville. And to think they traded Fulmer for this????

Of course we’re the only team that’s ever done this. Just like Lane Kiffin’s the only coach to ever commit a secondary violation. Thanks for the free press though.
