I tricked some Tennessee fans into thinking a fake number I set up was Lane Kiffin’s phone number, the resulting voicemails are hilarious.
UPDATE: Don’t miss VOLS CALL LANE PART 2
We told you a few weeks ago that we were planning a Tennessee prank for hate week, and that Tennessee fans were super mad about it; I even promised that the troll would be better than last year’s MSU prank #StatesAbouttoBeatAlabamaNext.
Here are the hilarious results of this week’s prank.
We leaked a phone number, that we set up using Google Voice to the Tennessee fans with the help of some friends.
WARNING, I have bleeped out all the naughty words in these calls, but they are still very explicit, very loud, and perhaps NSFW. So turn down your speakers before you play them!
Here is the screenshot we leaked on twitter.
We had a fake voicemail set up at the number so that it might sound to some of the Tennessee troglodytes that they had really stumbled on to Lane Kiffin’s cell phone number.
I think our Lane Kiffin impersonator Caleb Hawk did an amazing job.
Now convinced, the Vols started to leave us epic voicemails and text messages.
Most of the voicemails were just a simple “Go Vols!”
Some of the voicemails were much, much, much more epic. Think of a crazy insane Finebaum caller and then uncensor them and allow them to talk directly to the person they hate the most… yeah, it’s going to get good folks.
One of the best things about all the “Go Vols!” messages though was that Google transcribed them like this:
Seeing “go balls” a hundred times in my voicemail was pretty funny. (I am at heart nine years old apparently.)
Other voicemails were short but got a little more exciting. WARNING, I have bleeped out all the naughty words in these calls, but they are still very explicit, very loud, and perhaps NSFW. So turn down your speakers before you play them!
Google transcribed that as:
I think Google’s version is better.
The text’s were mostly just explicit words over and over. It seems many Volunteers were too shy to talk to Lane Kiffin, but just brave enough to send a text message that told him off. I did respond to one text message that stood out from the pack…
I was sad that he didn’t let my fake Lane Kiffin text with his daughter.
Alright, it’s time for the good stuff! Again I have to warn you that although these hilarious messages show exactly how smart the Tennessee fanbase really is, they can be a bit rough. So if you are a sensitive soul you might not want to listen to them. If you want to laugh at hill people though…

Let’s start with the “whisper callers”; these whispering Vols really kind of creeped me out. It’s like they are quietly planning their revenge.
I also got one kid that could not possibly be any more high than he was when he called Lane Kiffin.
This one wants Lane Kiffin to get AIDS and die; this is easily the most disturbing comment.
The Vols were bringing the anger hard.
This was my favorite voicemail of all. This gentleman did his entire voicemail in the voice of Cleveland from Family Guy; he even ends the message with the Cleveland laugh! I tip my hat to this merry Vol!
Lane also got a few nice messages. He had one big fan and one sweet USC fan who wanted to warn him that his number had gotten out.
Those were actually quite nice and would have made me feel bad if I had a conscience about trolling.
We also got a “Go Gators!” for some reason.
I don’t even know on this one.
There were three epic rants from absolutely insane Finebaum Show level crazy people though that stood out above all the rest.

Now these are something special.
This first rant is the most Tennessee thing ever. This dear Vol hits all the high points, he mocks Lane for his coaching record, he lives vicariously through Ole Miss, and he talks about how he doesn’t want to beat Bama just Lane. This is peak Vols.
This next one might be the funniest voicemail we got. This is a doctors office calling to tell Mr. Freshwater about his test results.
This last one is easily the most epic. This guy is just so mad at Lane Kiffin and he’s finally got a way to let him know it… er, he thinks.
Wow, those were spectacular. Send a tweet to @banditref and let me know which one you thought was the best. Is it:
Most Tennessee Guy Ever, Dr. Freshwater, orLane Kiffin’s Biggest Hater Ever?
As for the phone number, it’s still up and receiving calls from Vols, but We’ve changed the message a bit. If you want to find out what it is just call (213) 536-7885.
We’ve got one more surprise for you, the Angry Tennessee Fan Rant Master Mix, truly I think this might win a Grammy.

Here it is, the musical masterpiece of our time, the Angry Tennessee Fan Master Mix. Enjoy these dope hill people beats.
UPDATE: Don’t miss Vols Call Lane PART 2!
So many awesome people helped with this troll. We would never have been able to pull this off on our own.
I’d like to thank:
And most of all I’d like to thank my Vice President of Trolling @GoNolesjw
Countless others worked on the prank, but would like to keep their involvement a bit more quiet to avoid Vol anger.
If your looking for me I can be found @banditref or you can email at banditref@gmail.com
And Vols, I’ll see you this weekend!
