12:59 p.m. ET "I can't imagine it going better than it has." Wow.
1:01 p.m. ET I've seen gubernatorial press conferences with fewer shutters going off.
1:02 p.m. ET "Kids do not want to leave their home state." Like, say, Jesse Scroggins maybe?
1:03 p.m. ET The plan is one reluctantly implemented. "I have not loved everything that I've done. I have not loved everything that I've had to do. But in my opinion it had to be done."
1:05 p.m. ET Ed Oregeron enters the room shirtless and belly dances his way through the crowd of reporters. After Orgeron leaves, Kiffin nods and proclaims the performance "crunk." He tweets to Jesse Scroggins: "What do u think abt UT now?"
1:06 p.m. ET Jesse Scroggins blocks Lane Kiffin on Twitter.
