Dozens of students and fans marched into the Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex on Tuesday night chanting obscenities at Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin, who was informing his players about his departure to Southern California.

The crowd then moved to an office area where an impromptu press conference was being held for Kiffin.

Police were called to quell the crowd, which calmed down once officers arrived.

The crowd eventually became rowdy and were asked to disperse without incident.

and most importantly neither USC or UT have won 10+ games every year for the past 6 years, but they both played someone who has!

Tech beating tennessee this year proves one thing, they were a better team THIS YEAR! Jus t because tech has had a good 10 year run doesnt mean they are even close to being the same type of program as USC or Tennessee. Im sure vol fans and trojan fans would agree that they would rather have national titles, than a silly little 10 win streak.

No matter how bad the last 5 years have been for Tennessee or how bad the future looks , Tech wont be taken seriously by tennessee, the sec, or the big time college football programs( IE Alabama, USC, Notre Dame, ect.) until they win a crystal football. Actually beating someone not named Cincinnati in a BCS bowl would be a great start. (Rant Over)

Merry Christmas! I am glad Kiffen is gone. I think he is good at recruiting but the coaching is still to be proven. I think going with a run play on 3rd. and 15 twice and 3rd. and 21 once shows he was little "goofy" during the VT game. I also believe he was taking the program down a path that they don't need to travel. I have heard more investigation inquiries this past 14 months than I can remember since the first time I saw Reggie White. I hope the President and the AD have learned a valuable lesson. GO VOLS!
