i know where id be at least paying a visit. OH MYI honestly have no clue where the kid ends up but you are right that his handlers and parents have completely botched this entire process.
It is hard to say how much influence the parents have in this decision. But, if he doesn't go to Miami, and that looks pretty conclusive my guess is that Tennessee's proximity to his brother may be an important factor for the parents. Oregon and Miami couldn't be much farther apart.
Brown was at Eugene during a gameday in which it rained like a sucker. That was a bummer but he came away saying great things. As for the hostess, who knows. Maybe one of these two:
Bryce Brown and Lane Kiffin....now there is a pair to draw to. They deserve each other, in fact, it is a marriage made in heaven. Brown has trouble written all over him and Kiffin, well, he may be the new Mouth of the South. Neither one of them have hit the field yet and look at them, I mean listen to them go. Some people do it with smoke and mirrors, neither one of them needs the smoke they are too busy looking in the mirror. By the way that would be a pair of jokers (to draw to). Can you have two jokers in one deck?
What HE said!!!
Tennessee is going to suck cock HARD this season. Lane Kiffen will be run out of Knoxville within three years.
LOL.....
Does anyone seriously think this guy, his 80 year-old dad, Bay-Bay Orgeron and Lance Thompson will all be in Knoxville more than three years?
ANY intelligent Tennessee fan, and especially alumni, must have at least an eyebrow raised at this total douche bag.
No character + no experience = Lane Kiffin.
ok. - right from Browns mouth today Oregon could NOT prepare him for the NFL like UT can. they played the token west coast team role great though...good job Oregon
hilarious they are going to reevaulate the suspended RB now !

Bryce Brown decides

Running back Bryce Brown is headed to Tennessee, choosing the Volunteers over Kansas State. Oregon finished third.
Brown called the Ducks' offense "nice and flashy'' but preferred Lane Kiffin's offense over Oregon's spread-option, even though the Ducks were second in the nation in rushing last season.
"I just didn't think (Oregon) would prepare me enough for the NFL,'' Brown told Wichita Sports Radio 1410 KGSO after his announcement. "I'm thinking long term, I'm thinking next level already.''
Brown, the nation's top-ranked recruit who also was considering LSU and Miami (even though the Hurricanes withdrew their scholarship offer after Brown missed an imposed deadline), made the announcement shortly after 11 a.m.PT at the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in Wichita, Kan.
Brown first took a Miami cap out of a bag and presented it to his brother, Hurricanes linebacker Arthur Brown Jr., who was seated next to him. Bryce Brown then drew a Tennessee hat from his bag and put it on.
Bryce Brown took a surprise visit to Tennessee last weekend and created a buzz wearing an orange jacket, and now he has made it official that he will join Kiffin and the Volunteers.
Outgoing Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said Saturday that he will revisit the suspension of running back LeGarrette Blount today or by the middle of the week. The Ducks' redshirt freshman LaMichael James also figures to get plenty of carries in 2009.
"Tennessee is the next USC,'' said Brown, who was attracted to the energy and intensity of Kiffin, a former Trojans assistant, and also to the Volunteers' new running backs coach, Eddie Gran, who coached Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown and Rudi Johnson at Auburn.
The Ducks play Tennessee in the 2010 season, on Sept. 11 in Knoxville, but Brown should be gone by the time the Vols make a return visit to Eugene, in 2013.
Wow, I didn't realize that Oregon and UT square off next year... nice.
Now about that UT being the next USC.... HA! I doubt it. But at least nobody has any reason to be down on themselves over there... yet. That's quite obvious due to the way they are so optimistic, albeit pretty empty in terms of having done or accomplished anything to suggest that it's real or really possible.
I always liked Kiffin better than Sarkisian because he connected with the kids better and he didn't spend his days with his nose up PC's ass the way Sark did. He will probably take some of what he saw and learned at USC with him, that is if he's over the Al Davis debacle.
But hold your horses. It's one thing to want to be the next USC, it's another thing to be that and coach with the kind of experience PC has. Excuse me if I think it's all a bit unrealistic... because it is. Maybe when his meat has marinated and dried out a little he'll have his jerky.
Ain't it like a young rutting buck to think he's got what the big boys have. He'll get butted and head cracked good over there in the SEC by a few old salts who know their way around better than he does, and that should bring him down to earth. He will have to hit the skids before he gets any kind of real traction. A 5-7 or maybe a 4-8 season or worse is much more probable than anything else.
UT is not nor will ever be a USC clone just because Kiffin is there. They will need to find their own identity which is something they lost since Fulmer's post glory days of a decade ago. Has beens are still nobodies no matter how you slice it. Anything else is denial. And to go on and on about forcasting all these great things without even a single shitty OOC win vs East Tennessee Polytechnic or whoever is beyond ridiculous. I don't blame all these coaches for putting Kiffin and his team in their crosshairs.
I mean FUCK! Enough is enough. At least when Harbaugh was the new kid on the block in the Pac-10, getting under HC's skins like Pete Carroll, at least he knew when to shut up and take matters to the field as it should be.
Kiffin has a history of overconfidence. He may have not been the one solely at fault but didn't his offense get wallopped several times when he was sleeping on the job at USC? And wasn't Karl Dorrell in on some of that? Does that mean Kiffin let his ego run a little wild and out of control to let that happen... ya think? True, it did not happen often but that was USC where the higher they are the farther they have to fall.
Believe me, UT is no USC. I do not sense any hunger on that team. Kiffin shows up to the party like a pig with an apple stuffed in his mouth.
Sorry, but my CFB sliderule tells me that we will probably see a lot of mediocrity and dumbass mistakes that will frustrate the Vols for a while before real hunger sets in.... then we'll see what happens. Not before.
This is just a lot of ballyhoo and biscuits with a lot of greasy gravy and not very much meat on the table. The psyche job has become WAY too obvious with Bryce Brown also believing all that hype they are telling him, the silver toungued bunch of devils they are. UT the next USC?? HAHAHAHA! Kiffin's blood isn't that rich.
I am beginning to think that if this kind of crap is still being spread around and bought up in the south, they're making a fool a minute down there. Maybe more.
It took Carroll 30 years of coaching mistakes and experience to figure it all out... Kiffin gets it in one or 2 ??? HAHAHAHA! He hasn't grown up yet. Yeah, I like a lot of things about him. He's a motivator, he's a player's coach. But IMHO, the guy needs some schooling.
ive never embraced that "new USC" stuff. i much prefer the hisory and prestige of UT over USC
plus, UT plays in a power conference - its apples and oranges to compare the two
as usual when USC comes up, ill admit if they played on the field - USC would win 9/10 times in 09....see im not biased at all !
