It's really too bad for the Haitians that Kiffin left TN the same day the quake hit.

Americans only have the attention span for one tragedy at a time.

I mean, for God's sake, there was a riot on the Knoxville campus.

What could cause a riot on a college campus in this era? War? No. Unjust war? No. Human rights abuses? No. Racial injustice? No. Corrupt public officials? No. Rampant crime and murder? No. Immature football coach leaving his job? Yes.

America the beautiful. America the terrible.

Cougarguard seems to be a microcosm of America.

This week, the majority of the activity on this board has focused on USC (Fight On!).

Has anyone started a Haiti thread?
