On your mark, get set-, GO! As national signing day approaches every major university that takes the field on Saturday have already been sharpening their talons perched atop their Athletic Director's roost, that includes Tennessee.

Mike Hamilton will be the Lex Luthor to Derek Dooley's Clark Kent. Sadly, because of this Coach Dooley may never have the chance to duck into the phone booth and show us the big "S" on his chest.
