Big Orange roundup

Well it's been an interesting week for the citizenry of the Orange Nation. If you will, I will provide a brief roundup:

1) We learned that UT QB Jonathan "city of" Crompton graduated with his bachelors but will remain on the team as a graduate student in sports psychology, according to GoVolsXtra.com aka the Knoxville News-Sentinel. I guess this is good news. Let's just hope Crompton finally learns how to play his position.

2) We had some more good recruiting news. Turns out Tennessee beat out the Gators and Bulldogs to snag a coveted offensive lineman Jose Jose (for real; that's his name). He was wanted elsewhere pretty badly: He had scholarship offers from 19 schools, y'all.

3) The News-Sentinel pulled a really good move and posted some old-school UT football photos. Click here to learn more about that.

4) Good news from the softball diamond: The Lady Vols are in the NCAA and will be hosting a first-round game for the fifth year in a row. Yay.

5) We learned again that Coach Lane Kiffin has a very attractive wife. Maybe if he doesn't do so well the Vols can make her head coach. I could live with that.

6) There are TONS of Orange motorcycles out there, apparently. The ones pictured here were spotted by me (middle), by Rod Brumley (bottom) and by Alison Powers (top). Plus I've had two or three posts in the past couple weeks featuring sweet Orange motorbikes.

Like, what's up with that?
