Thanks man. I'm hearing now that both Smith and Lemonier will likely end up at FSU so we might be just plain SOL on that one (Smith).

I live 15 minutes from Athens and room with 3 guys who graduated from Athens High School, one who's sister is a senior at Athens.

The sister told him that he is a UT fan and that he favors UT. Reports are he tried committing to UT on his September visit but Kiffin isn't accepting 2011 QB commitments until after NSD.

Doubt he will be as good as his brother (NFL talent like Phillip is not very common) and he has to put on a lot of weight to be a SEC QB. However, his dad is his high school coach and has pedigreed him to be great and prefers a pro-style system like the one Kiffin is using at UT. He is still learning the game but has a shitload of upside. His stats are better than Phillip's HS stats.

It's Stephen btw

and still recruit. It's either yes or no and if he tries to stay on it will prevent them from hiring a WR coach. Plus, word is Meyer is set to go under the knife in late January for minor surgery and that if he does he will be sidelined for at least 6 months. If he postpones the surgery, Shelley Meyer is going to be pissed because the doctors said that the surgery is more critical than the leave of absence for his immediate health.

Anybody else hearing this?

There will be plenty of good jobs open up. After Kelly leaves Cincinnati, it will be open. Harbaugh might leave Stanford for a better gig, etc.

Remove Kelly Washington from list, bump Stallworth up, and insert Robert Meachem.

Meachem's junior year he set single season yards record at UT. We use to be called WR-U, so a record like that deserves to be on list.

Percy Harvin #1 imo.

Urban Meyer invented the spread? Who knew?

1,500 ballgames will be lost by teams this season and at the end of the day that is all it is..... "A" loss.

I have noticed it too this week. A guy on bamaonline says that bama has the best front 7, not in the country, but in the history of college football.

I was afraid of this. Some guy posted that Ole Miss had tixs available on their site back in May or early june and everyone ran and bought them up.

Turns out, a week later UT started selling their alotment and those fans got their tixs two weeks ago.

I'm still going. Got a fraternity bro starting law school there who is a vol fan and other one's in memphis.

If anybody has two for face value, hit me up.

Where is this talent? Two years of recruiting and still no QB or big time O-line commits. These are big needs for Tenn and he can't get a recruit to come in? He will have to step it up the rest of the year to fill the holes on the o-line if he wants to have any success in the future.

This will be Kiffin's down fall!

Seriously man? CLK has been at UT for 8 months, not 2 years. Weak sauce.

Answer this, out of all positions on both sides of the ball, which players always commit first? QB's start getting commitable offers waaay before other players.

For example, Phillip Sims was getting heavily recruited by Saban before CLK accepted the Raiders job. You hope you can sway a kid after getting in late, but it is very, very hard and you can't blame CLK for that this soon.

The SEC is super-duper hard and no VOL fan can ensure a championship. I understand completely how LSU, Bama, UF, and LSU fans can't fathom CLK returning UT into a national power because it is so atypical of the CURRENT SEC hierarchy. However, that hiearchy is directly related to the coaches at each of those programs and you can bet half of them will not be at their schools in four years for various reasons.

That is how UT can get back and that is how half of the SEC big dogs got to where they are today. Think about how even the playing field got after Spurrier left UF. What did UGA or LSU do the whole time Spurrier was at UF? What did they do after he left UF? What will happen when CUM leaves UF? Exactly.
