You probably have never seen one. At least that you know of for sure. Their unique skill set lies in the ability to hide behind a keyboard while hanging out with the enemy. There are assorted reasons for this behavior.

Last night, after the game, I posted Lane Kiffin’s comments regarding the officiating:
In a sarcastic tone, he said something to the effect of ‘great call on the pass interference. That was definitely pass interference. Commissioner Slive, I appreciate that call.’
Today on The ...

Lane Kiffin has captured the attention of the media, fans, opposing coaches, rappers, and even the great and powerful Oz, otherwise known as the little man behind the curtain pulling levers, Mike Slive. He has a polarizing effect on people and he seems to like it that way.
You’re either with him ...

How does the time go by so quickly? Just yesterday, it seems, we were kicking off the beginning of the Lane Kiffin era with a dominating performance over Western Kentucky and here we are now facing the last home game of the year. At least in the waning weeks of football, recruiting picks up a ...

Top ranked teams have been scared out of their wits. Upsets have raised eyebrows. Tournaments are taking place all over the map. It’s a typical start to college hoops. Let’s go.
1. Big Red Machine. The Trap caught some heat for including Cornell in its preseason Top 25. Two games ...

WARNING: What you are about to read could have happened to any Vol fan:
So Thursday morning came the other day. It was 6:30 AM and I’m feeling pretty good. Tennessee has that early kickoff with Ole Miss coming up Saturday. What to write about today, hmm. Well the Vols are looking to win [...]

This has been a very puzzling week for the Tennessee faithful, for good reason. First, the mirage of discipline touted so frequently by Lane Kiffin was shattered by the actions of three of his own recruits. It didn’t help that all three were prize recruits, and symbolized the new era of ...

It may be the ‘right’ thing to say that it didn’t affect the team. But that’s about it. The Tennessee team that showed up Saturday in Oxford played like a shell of its self compared to the last four games.
Naturally, there’s a lot of blame going around. But in fairness to the coaches and ...

It seems that every time we do this we have more good news to talk about. Today is certainly no exception, though this entry will be shorter than previous ones because of much happening due to the road game.
The future anchor of the Tennessee offensive line, JaWuan James, announced his ...

As a fan base maybe we need to quit putting so much pressure on ourselves. I’m not worried about the team. They have a great coaching staff to clear their collective heads. It’s the typical VolNation junkie that concerns me (I myself have only heard of such a creature).
But I hear tell that he ...

I’d like to begin this week’s Trap by giving kudos to Jim Boeheim. 800 wins is an amazing feat, but getting them all at the same school is mind boggling. Congratulations on a marvelous career, Coach Boeheim.
Now, let’s get down to business. The first weekend of regular season ...

If you told Tennessee fans back in the spring that an 8-4 season and the Outback Bowl would be on the table in November, most would have been happy. A few would have been ecstatic.
Well, it IS November and the Vols control their destiny. Namely, an 8-4 season with the opportunity to play in the ...

Well he did get it right. For all the hoopla, criticism, and bad PR, Mike Slive did what he had to do. Namely, make good on his word. To have skirted those words or whittled them down to a fine point would have been petty and partial.
Not that rule 10.5.4 aka ‘The Kiffin Clause’ is ...

Wow, what a week for recruiting, huh? There are all sorts of rumors and commitments flying around and it would not surprise many if several of the guys we had on campus this past weekend end up as Vols on National Signing Day. One highly-regarded player did not even wait for a visit — ...

Mike Slive, the affable, charismatic SEC commissioner finds himself in a quandary. His outspoken, brash, dangerous arch villain (apparently Slive fashions himself a superhero) Lane Kiffin recently pushed him over the edge. Slive said enough was enough.
In effect Lane tied the Commissioners ...

The work continues . . . on and off the field. A rejuvenated, hot football program on the field. The buzz school turning heads in recruiting off the field. The buzz is Tennessee football is on its way back. The way back is being lead by Masters of the Recruiting Universe.
