As if anybody needs another reason to hate the Vols.

Its not like most people, epescially me needs another reason to hate the Vols, but now their coaches have taken to taking cheap shots at guys on the side lines. A video review of the UGA vs UT game clearly shows that Roderick Moore, UT’s associate strength and conditioning coach delivered a nice shoulder charge to Tre Battle at the end of a play. The Knoxville News Sentinel even has a video clip of the play. Of course all the offical responses in Knoxville claim the hit was accidental as if Coach Moore suddenly forgot he was at a football game and didn't notice the guy in the bright red jersey and helmet running down the sideline. UGA's offical response is of no complaint that stuff like that happens, but really what else do you expect from Richt its not like he can do anything about it if the SEC and UT won't.

Coach Moore shows another unsuspecting DB who's the man.

It's not really like anyone has ever accussed Tennessee of running a classy program with young men who are great examples to the youth in the community. In fact the off field antics of the UT program are legendary, but when it comes to the coaches you don't generally expect the thugish behavior to be shown on the sideline. Woody Hayes was fired for hitting a player and there are plenty of people who like to talk about how hickish and trashy Ohio State is, but at least they followed through and fired the greatest coach in their school's history. At UT its apparently perfectly acceptable to strike an opposing player as long as you don't acknowledge him and just claim you never saw the player running down the sideline.
