Recruits in Atlanta thought they would be protected from Ed Orgeron by traffic and the confusion that results in putting the word ‘peach’ in every fucking street name, and there are actually some places that you can’t get to even in a Hummer. But Orgeron won’t be denied. He’s flying over Atlanta’s sprawl and landing right outside players’ schools. In a helicopter apparently piloted by Wade Boggs.

The best part is that Tennessee almost didn’t go through with it when they found out that it cost over $4,000 to rent a helicopter. Is that a lot? Anyway, they found someone willing to low bid and got that magnificent piece of shit you see above for only $1,250.
No matter. Orgeron will now be wrecking shit all across the South.

Just another example of Orgeron copying Pinkel’s recruiting techniques.

Jackie Sherrill used to do the same shit.

Best BC headline in some time–well done.
If they wanted to, they could defray the expense of the helicopter by dropping coupons for the Knoxville Krogers® as they go.
Just an idea.

20 states last week? Do they actually do any coaching?

Charlie Sheen on the roof with a furry hat and an RPG. You know Richt has already looked into it.

Tennessee’s football team is not relevant this season, so coaches have to resort to stuff like this in order to remain in the headlines. Now if really wanted to get attention, they would replace Ed with a young Lea Thompson look-a-like.

That helicopter looks like the car CTJ drove in college.

You gotta admit, this is right up the SEC’s alley. You can’t impress street agents with better rims on a 1984 Cadillac, but I bet you sure can with a whirlybird that used to be Ponch’s eye in the sky on Chips. The only way to one-up it is by hiring this candidate as our recruiting coordinator:

You know they’re doing a Red Dawn remake right? Instead of gunfire at the end, Patrick Swayze dies of cancer caused by depleted uranium shells

That’s a Robinson r44 helicopter that does scream imminent death. It’d be safer to let your kid play for Bob Stoops.

In an effort to alleviate some of the more racially consious mothers’ fears, I would replace Wade Boggs with TC.

Eh. They’re already well on their way to a top five recruiting class this year, and they’ve got a couple of top recruits for 2011 already committed.
Orgeron is to recruiting what Muschamp is to defensive coaching. I wouldn’t question the man.

I am pleased with the commentariat on this thread. Lots of good bullshit.

I hope Orgeron knows that this only works if you’re playing “Die Walküre” while flying low.

Frankly, I am insulted that you would mistake me for the man in that photo. His hairline can’t compete.

“Charlie don’t blitz.”
Very nice – Robert Duvall, Francis FC and – by extension – Joseph Conrad, all salute you.
