re: Football Recruiting Thread (2017 Cycle): Signing Day Updated!

Dammit - sorry for not getting back fast enough ... too much to drink. Just got rid of the freeloaders drinking my damn liqour.

What Tennessee did was publicly declare Sterling had committed and signed with them. I'm told it happened maybe an hour before he actually signed. So we (someone in our coaches offices) knew better and we released that we had him ... Sterling's people then said they were not signed yet and someone in Sterling's camp sent word to Tennessee to btfo ... we pulled down our bulletin and waited for him to make it official with us, which we already knew was coming. Then Tennessee issued some kind of BS excuse ... something about an error and misinterpreting the call from Sterling the night before. Then they claimed it was a graphics mistake I think.

Not sure what transpired after that but I'm pretty sure everyone laughed at Tennessee and then moved on.


Here we go - found something:
