Ed Orgeron to Vol Recruits: “Don’t Go To Class.”

Posted by srr50 on January 13th, 2010 under Football

Sources are reporting that former Tennessee recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron took a little time off from packing for USC to encourage 9 mid-term recruits not to go to class today at Tennessee. Once the recruits actually go to class, they fall under strict NCAA rules about transferring and would have to sit out a full year. The arrogance of all involved is something to see.

Posted by Trips Right on August 19th, 2009 under Football

Not surprising when you consider all of the clowns that took part in this circus. Lane Kiffin, Brown himself, and most interesting to me, a handler named Brian Butler. The following excerpt, if true, is bad news for players that are now playing the street agent game. It could also be bad news for our pal Will Lyles and other sleaze bags.
