Tennessee Headlines – 11/6/09

1. Tennessee’s players are upset over a joke Memphis coach Tommy West made at their coach’s expense back in August.
2. In case you’re wondering, here’s the lengthy joke and its rather small payoff.
3. A Tennessee defense already riddled with injuries could be without the SEC’s reigning Freshman of the Week Janzen Jackson on Saturday. Lane Kiffin won’t comment, but it looks like Jackson will be suspended from Saturday’s action.
Word from Knoxville is that Jackson skipped a practice to return home during the Vols’ open week and did not inform coaches of his departure.
If — IF — that’s true and Kiffin chose to sit Jackson for the Memphis game rather than for the Alabama or South Carolina games, one will have to wonder if Urban Meyer will comment.
Perhaps he’ll say something like, “He’ll discipline his team — or not — however he feels.” Seems like I heard that somewhere this week already.
4. Matt Reagan has gone from Knoxville native and Vol fan to Memphis’ first-string punter and kicker.
5. Eric Berry still needs 15 yards to break the NCAA record for interception return yardage in a career.
6. Dan Williams and Marlon Walls are looking forward to going against their hometown Memphis Tigers.
7. Tennessee could still land a berth in the Outback or Cotton Bowls… which would be quite a feat for Kiffin and his coaching staff in Year One of their rebuilding job.
