When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...

I love that pic of Lane Kiffin. It as if he is watching the plunger, he is about to get raped with, getting closer and closer.
While toilet plunger rape humor is notoriously difficult to pull off, you've nailed it.
Golf clap.
Clay. Come on buddy, we've got to give Lane the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Every time I've questioned Lane's decision-making over these last few months, he's ended up looking like a genius when it's all said and done. This kid is gonna graduate from UT with a 3.8 gpa and a nice highlight reel. This is just another way for Lane to show his greatness. Fulmer could take a decent kid and turn him into a thug; Lane is gonna show us he can take a thug and turn him into an upstanding citizen. Pass me some more of that orange kool-aid Clay, because Lane has made me a believer!
I don't know. Did you read the court opinion.
Hood went Temple Drake on his first cousin.
I'm not sure where the exact line should be, but toilet plunger in the vagina has to be past the line.
Clay,
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that toilet plunger rape humor is impossible to pull off. I'm disappointed you're chuckling along after getting so indignant about the rape itself in the post.
Rusty,
I think it was pulled off because it incorporated the deer in the headlights Lane Kiffin goatee picture.
It's altogether possible that the above picture of Kiffin breaks all sorts of tasteless humor rules.
