Thoughts from the Chick

In the words of a good friend of mine, “Haters gotta hate.”

And a couple of the players who participated in the Senior Bowl learned that very well this week.

Tim Tebow, who has been the golden boy of the media, is now learning that the media can jump bandwagons just about as quickly as he can quote the gospel.

And I actually feel a little sorry for him.  He’s had a week to learn a new system and basically try to change everything he’s been doing for the past 4 years.  And now that he had a bad game, suddenly his stock is dropping and he’s actually getting - shocker - criticism.

And look at Terrence Cody.  This is a guy who had become a rock-star on campus.  He jokes with the media.  He has embraced the fans.  He’s just a cool guy. 

When he came to Alabama he weighed over 400 pounds and has worked to get into playing shape.  Let’s not forget, he’s supposed to be big - he’s a nose guard. 

So c’mon, people - did anyone really expect him to have a six-pack? 

But since the photos of his weigh-in from the Senior Bowl hit the internet - he’s had a lot of hate thrown his way. 

Even Nick Saban - who no one can really criticize legitimately for what he’s done at Alabama - has taken shots this week from folks who want to blame him for Cody’s weight.

So, haters gotta hate, but only because they don’t have anything better to do. 

Finally the UASports Channel on Youtube has the videos from the 2009 season back up. They have also added a few as well from the National Championship - this is just one of them. 

So, I was at the gym during lunch and the spinning teacher - who is also a BIG UT fan - stopped to chat for a second, and told me that the rumor mill in Knoxville was seriously swirling.

If the internet rumors are true, it seems that maybe the recruits weren’t the only ones who had some fun with UT co-eds.

 Also, I couldn’t help myself - if you haven’t already seen this video - it’s very funny.

Definitely one to enjoy -

Oh, and just for kicks - here’s a montage of “Coaches we lost” in 2009, courtesy of - you guessed it - the LSUfreek:

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick….

The Vols have been on the clock for almost 48 hours, and it seems that they aren’t having the best of luck.

Will Muschamp - no.

Phil Fulmer - no.

Troy Calhoun - no.

I’ve been working at home today, and have been hearing a lot on ESPN about Lane Kiffin and his departure from the Tennessee Volunteers.  And the names who haven’t said no yet, that I’ve seen scrolled along the bottom of the screen have been - Derek Dooley and David Cutcliff.

With recruits bailing out and the AD on the hotseat, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!

I literally couldn’t believe what I heard this morning when I got up.  Lane Kiffin leaving Tennessee!  I had to turn on the radio to make sure it wasn’t a joke!

What shocked me most, however was that USC actually hired this clown!!!

Really USC????

You can’t find a better head coaching candidate than Lane Kiffin???

You think your NCAA problems are bad now???  Ha!  They just got a hell of a lot worse.

I will say that the one group that I truly do feel sorry for in all of this are the players and the recruits. 

This a-hole promised these guys the world, and now leaves them high and dry.  And apparrently, he’s trying to get all of his recruits to commit to USC now.  WTF? 

This situation just shows what a classless punk bitch Lane Kiffin is. 

Good job showing your true character, Lane Kiffin.  I just hope that all of these high-schoolers across the country can see what we all see now. 

And good riddance - I couldn’t be happier that you’re not a part of the SEC anymore.  

Get ready Pac-10, you have no idea what’s about to hit you.

The Alabama family is happy that you have big opportunities ahead of you in the NFL!

Thank you for what you did for this Alabama team this year!

And no matter where you go in your NFL career, you will always be a PILF!

I’m sorry Georgia bretheren, but I had to say it.

Living where I live, I’ve heard a lot about Georgia making it’s “big play” for Kirby Smart.

And I’m so glad that Kirby Smart decided to stay at Alabama. 

I wouldn’t have blamed him if he decided to go back to his home state, his alma mater - but I’m glad that it was worth it for him to stay in Tuscaloosa.
