Student riots after Lane Kiffin announced he would leave Tennessee for USC
Tennessee is taking the Kiffin news well, by which I mean they're rioting
So apparently some people weren't real thrilled with Lane Kiffin leaving Tennessee for USC today. Students at his press conference yelled "traitor" and it only got worse from there.

A pretty huge riot broke out in the evening at the Tennessee football complex that eventually included police firing tear gas to disperse the crowd. 

Regardless of what you think of Kiffin, one thing is clear - the man definitely gave us an entertaining year at Tennessee.

Kind of hard to rip on a departing coach's class when you riot at his departure.  Stay classy Tennessee.

If they had to vent their anger, they picked the wrong target.. don't riot, go directly to the source (kiffin).

These are college kids? I wonder what they'd do if they were out of college! Moronic behavior. Not rioting for troops to come home, not rioting for health care and not rioting for human rights? Football? Boy are alot of Americans stupid, sorry to say.

Show me one that you can?  Mark Mangino?  Jim Leavitt?  Mike Leach?  Perhaps Brian Kelly's more to your liking?  You don't tend to get to be a head coach at a top FBS program unless you are just a little  bit ruthless and Machiavellian.

Oh come on!  Who among us didn't look for an excuse to get drunk and light things on fire with our friends when we were in college?  It's college kids being college kids (except with Ever-Clear, military grade accelerants, and Internet manuals on how to effectively blow up things...)

I'm afraid the repercussions of all this will affect more than just the football program at Tennessee...
