The punch line might not be clear. But Tennessee understands the premise and the target, and it clearly isn't pleased. Copies of a joke Memphis coach Tommy West told at a preseason banquet about Vols coach Lane Kiffin have been plastered around the locker room and the practice field since Monday. And though the story might not make too much sense or be all that funny, the Vols have made clear they're offended heading into Saturday's home game.

Lance Stephenson is finally eligible to play college basketball. The all-time leading scorer in New York City history committed to Cincinnati over the summer, but the NCAA had to investigate his amateur status because of a documentary done on Stephenson during his playing days at Lincoln High -- where he lead the Railsplitters to four straight PSAL titles. Yesterday, it was announced that he was able to play immediately.

Kiffin takes shot at Meyer

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin seemed skeptical that Florida coach Urban Meyer would be severely punished for his recent criticism of the SEC's much-maligned football officials. "Urban Meyer?" Kiffin deadpanned following practice Wednesday when asked of Meyer's comments. "Criticized the officials, wow, that will be interesting. We'll see." The SEC sent out a memo to member schools and media that threatened coaches with fines and suspensions if they publicly criticized officials. Asked if Kiffin was under the impression that the public criticism was supposed to stop, he said, "You guys got the same memo that I got."
