    if this continues down this path, someone on this staff is going to go. I'm not sure if it will be LK, but this is going badly. If there's a way they can find to pin this on one of the rumored outgoing coaches, they better get to it. Otherwise, this looks bad.

    The thing that gets me is... what's the advantage? I mean, really?? If you've stepped foot on just about any SEC campus, there are beautiful women everywhere. Sure, sex sells... but what are you gaining by having a rep of the school leave the campus... head to the athlete's campus just to hold up some signs and take a few pictures?

    Well Tennessee didn't invent the hostess concept; I think it has been widely used for a long, long time primarily in the south and west. Didn't Gary Barnett get hung up for this at Colorado?

    Have you ever seen an ugly hostess?

    ha! you guys kill me.

    On a more somber note regarding this investigation...

    I gotta know.. who thought this was a good idea? If this is by design, it clearly violates the letter of the law while really giving you very little benefit. Mind you, I'm not talking about the hostess program. Every Southern school has that..I'm talking about having them leave the school to visit the players.

    This is such an unbelievably stupid idea... I smell Coach O all over this. No way LK is this stupid.
