Cheating on basketball pools? :slappy:

The Ncaa might as well move their headquarters to Los Angeles, cheaper then flying out there every weekend

Strike up the DickRod to UT rumors if for no other reason than the thought of rr flailing around in the SEC is comedic gold.

I don't want Tennessee getting any ideas

Looks like their 2005 coaching staff is reassembling itself like T-1000. Well, except T-1000 could turn his arm into a fucking sword and didn't go on NCAA probation.

Can't believe it, in my opinion that was a poor choice.
I think that significantly understates the problem.

Facing NCAA violations they hire.....

Kiffin?

:slappy:
I'll have more to add below - on a facet I don't see anyone else has raised. For this bit though, yes :slappy:, the irony is rich. Kiffin kept the Vols completely free from off the field problems, didn't he? Or not.

He'll recruit just as well, but I don't think the on-field product will be as good. Tennessee was just ass raped, though.
Actually this is the only quote with which I would seriously disagree. Though Kiffin brought some talent to the Vols he did not climb the mountain that is recruiting in the SEC, in fact a great deal of his energy was expended trying to kick sand in Meyer's face. Fine, except that Meyer cleaned his clock. Now what Kiffin brings back to LA is a pretty solid staff. But, I have no doubt that the chum swarm of NewHiSell and other Pac-10 coaches just did a yippee-yai-yay - at least on the recruiting front. (Dirty recruiting tactic most likely used or hinted at. "You want your kid to go with man whose players commit armed robbery?") Further, I think that would be used both within the Pac-10 and, more critical to USC's 5* success rate, nationally.

which coach is kiffin going to go after now that he's in the pac 10?
Given his foolish assault on Meyer it certainly makes you wonder. Perhaps he'll throw darts at himself as presumptive recruiting kingpin out west?

Now the facet I have not seen mentioned heretofore.

One thesis on why PC flew to the Seahawks is because of the pending likelihood of the NCAA getting serious about Bush, McKnigght and, perhaps, other related matters involving other players. But wait, wasn't Kiffin there in 2005? Isn't that slap-dab in the middle of Bushgate? Pus, who knows what else the NCAA feels it can explore that aligns with Kiffin's prior involvement with SC.

My guess is that Kiffin is walking firmly into the teeth of a buzzsaw. If I'm right, this makes his hire the worst in recent memory - topping RR and Weis in short-sightedness and shoot from the hip, panic induced decision making.

Is it just me, or is this a recruiting dream team?

Orgeron is a great recruiter (from what I understand), and now they have three coaches who've been in the NFL.

Talk about a draw for kids who are looking to go to the league...

Like I've said for a while- No need for an NFL team in LA; they've already got the best college football (players and coaches) money can buy.

One of the UT sites is reporting that players told Lane to go "[censored] himself" during the team meeting.

[sarcasm font] Hard to imagine a Kiffin coached and recruited player saying something as outlandish as that... [/sarcasm font]

All in favor of a long term contract extension (something Weisian) for RRod, raise your hands:

Rumors were circulating on the Vol board last week that Lane to SC was a done deal before Carroll to the Seahawks had been leaked. Some even suggested Orgeron was recruiting kids to SC on the Vols' time.

Rumor posted 30 minutes ago was Orgeron texted all the recruits, "You are welcome to join us at USC."
