Clearly this guy doesn't get it. And it sounds like FSU doesn't, either.

The morning paper says that Bowden has kicked him off the team. About time.

Good comment from NSD:

Auburn just picked up DeAngelo Benton, a former two-time commit to LSU and 7th ranked WR in the nation in 2006 (from the same HS that is producing Reuben Randel this year). HUGE pick up for us, as we've been very desperate for an elite WR.

Demond Washington, the #1 JUCO RB, officially signed with AU. Dontae Aycock, the #16 RB, signed with us. Emory Blake, WR, chose us over Texas Tech.

Gotta hand it to Bama with their class. It looks like they will finish 2nd. We still have David Oku on our radar, but he has said that he won't be committing anytime soon.

Ole Miss had THIRTY SEVEN signees today!

And how about the nuts on Bryce Brown's 'manager':

Roll Tide!

What a day.

Now we get to see how many of them stick.

#1 on Rivals and SI
#2 on Scout
#5 on ESPN

Congrats to Auburn, Otto. They really made some strides in the last two weeks of recruiting season. I have a feeling this group of coaches is going to do well recruiting. The SEC West is going to be a nightmare. All 6 teams from the West are in the Rivals top 20 in recruiting.

Yeah, for the few weeks that this staff has had for recruiting, I'm quite happy with the results. The fact that we only lost one committment today says a lot for this staff. I hope it translates to the field, and quickly. So what does the Tide do with the 200 linebackers on the roster?

Tackle, I hope.

Go Dawgs looks like we had a good day as well. Ratings are all over the place so not even gonna bother.

Congrats to you all on the incoming classes. I actually think we did well too. As you say, Dawg, ratings are all over and the real truth won't be known for a couple years. We got dinged because we had a small class - have a lot on scholarship already, and redshirted close to 30 last year. This year's class was only 20 signees, and that hurts in the ratings, but we still ended up Top 30 by most accounts even with that small number.

Lane Kiffin accuses Urban Meyer of recruiting violation - NCAA Football - SI.com

I love the scripted apology. Even if it wasnt against the rules I think it was uncool to call during a visit to another school. I can understand him being pissed off.

Now, it's Lance Thompson's turn. He takes the mic and swings at Nick Saban - The Rap Sheet - al.com


Without saying a word, did Nick Saban just answer Lane Kiffin? - The Rap Sheet - al.com

If it's not against the rules, then you can bet every coach does it.

Some very rookie mistakes by a rookie coach. What a dick. Instead of showing respect for coaches with a wee bit more results on and off the field, he's just shooting off his obviously big mouth. That's a lot of talk for a coach who doesn't even have a top 15 class. I don't think that will help recruiting in the long run. I think I'll start hating Lane Kiffen now.

mriff, remember what Urban did to Georgia this year??? Expect a similar showing during the Florida/Tennessee game this year.

I agree Milk. An In The Swamp spanking of the boy wonder. He's not doing so well so far. Here's the latest:

yeah, like the cockyness of clearing the bench and celebrating in the end zone for a single score. Gotta love it!

Or getting a unsportsmanlike penalty for the lizard chomp. Oh wait Jesus Tebow wouldnt do that now would he. Would love to See Tenn run all over Fla and see whats said then lol

Damn, haven't even thought about getting to some football and the trash talking has started already! I'll bet you would love to see TN run all over FL. But then again you'd love to see ANY team run all over FL. That's ok. But really, Rickt is looking a lot like Ray Goof lately. And that's not a good thing. Unless you're a FL Gator!

Someone on ESPN released their Pre-Spring SEC Power Rankings, with Auburn in the 11th spot. I think we'll enter the season unranked and surprise a lot of people. We have Tennessee, LSU, and Georgia on the road but Alabama and West Virginia at home. Should be an interesting season.

You need to lay the glass dick down. Richt is no near as bad a Goff. Goff didnt have a winnibg record hardly at all during his tenure. Any team can be beat any given day. Oh yeah yall discovered that lkast year when you got embarrassed with your non perfect season.

__________________
Guns don't kill people, Gaping holes in vital organs do.

No glass dick. But you're right Dawg. Richt is a far better coach. Goff really was a goof though. I miss him. And I agree, any team can win on any given day. It's just that the odds were a lot less if a team was facing the Gators last season. And they will be a lot less this coming year as well.

Yes, we got embarrassed by a VERY GOOD Ol Miss team last year. At home in the Swamp. But we recovered quite well. Even you have to admit that.

yeah Goff was like 46-34-1 when he left. (Thank God) Mark Richt: 82-22

Just a wee bit better I'd say. Ray Goof knew how to snatch defeat right from the jaws of victory.

82-22. Not too shaby. There are a couple schools out there that would love to have that kind of a record.

Oh, and what the hell does a glass dick have to do with anything?

Sorry my hood days were coming back to me. A glass dick is a term used for the pipe that Crack is smoked in. I guess I should have just said you need to stop smoking crack lol

Ok, now that explains it. I don't have many hood days behind me. I thought you might be talking about what women might have in their toy box.

Me niether but its just a term I have heard among people I know when they are telling someone they are full of shit.

Ahh. Ok. So next time just tell me I'm full of shit.

So looks like your QB is the top ranked QB in the draft. Think he has what it takes to suceed in the NFL?

I honestly don't think he ever received the coaching that Greene did once Bobo took over the Offensive play calling. I thing Stafford will only get better in the NFL with the right coach. Only time will tell so many of these kids get ranked high in the draft and then don not ever amount to anything.

I agree about Stafford and the coaching. It would have been amazing to see him with a good coach. The sad truth is that as a freshman, he tried to show his arm strength by throwing the ball as hard as he could, often causing his receivers to drop the ball. As a Junior, he continued to show this same flaw, although it was more common trying to hit his running back on on a swing or screen pass - no touch or finesse at all.

I think Bradford may have the most refined talent in the draft. He will be a steal for whichever team gets him. I really look forward to seeing him play in the league.

Lane Kiffin flew back to Tennessee less than 48 hours after his son was born. He’d arranged to have someone fetch him at the airport, but the driver was 25 minutes late. “I came back and within five minutes I’d fired the guy who was in charge of the guy who’d been sent to pick me up,” says Kiffin. “Here’s the point: We need to win. That’s 25 minutes that Nick Saban and Urban Meyer had that I lost because somebody was late picking me up at the airport.”

That’s 25 minutes he could have spent mending fences with coaches in Palm Beach County, Florida, I guess. But I digress. Which is easy to do with Junior.

� Despite what you might read in Sports Illustrated, new Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin hasn’t contributed to Knoxville’s unemployment rate.

“He has not fired anybody,” UT athletic director Mike Hamilton said Thursday afternoon. “If he said he has fired somebody, that’s not true. I don’t know if he said it from a standpoint of making a point that �We’ve got to get this right.’ But he didn’t fire anybody.


“You can’t just fire anybody at Tennessee, particularly when you’re talking about non-contract employees. There’s a process.”


It's great NOT to be a Vol.

AGREED!

What an idiot! This guy will be gone before he ever plays a game.

A violation a day. It is getting rather humorous.
