Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

EVERYONE WHO GETS A RECRUIT IS CHEATING.

How do the Orgeron, Urban Meyer, Pete Carroll, and other monster recruiters land HTPs? It's obvious, says Neal McCready of the Mobile Register: they cheat. All of them. Every time. A wise column on the iniquities and absurdity of the Handshake Wars, especially focusing on the message board mania that's become an integral part of the hoopla.

If everyone cheats, then is anyone cheating?

I love the fact that most of the complaints and finger pointing is comint from fans of the alabama crimson tide (pronounced TAHD) After they fielded an errrr Professional team for several years and were A) BUSTED and B) Quite Unsuccessful. Some people are good or smart recruiters I guess Tide fans are just angered that Sweet Mike cant swing in there wiht his Gold chain, tight rolled jeans, F bomb dropping lisp and sell kids on coming to a coked out town with a crime rate comparable to Detroit. Oh well theres always the Bear, right bamanation.

I’m just glad to read that Joe isn’t cheating. Although it would seem that LJ, Sr. and DWill have some sort spell over the State of Maryland.

I was always under the impression that Mark Twain was literate.

i mean, really. who would pass up a chance to play in the great state of alabama to move to stupid old florida? would you really pass up the exciting trips down dusty roads while being pulled by rope from a pick-up truck? i’m pretty sure that’s going to be on the next x-games.

Ummmm…adam, that happened in Texas…which is having no problem pulling in the recruits.

I live in Gainesville and I used to live near Tuscaloosa. No comparison. Gainesville is a decent place to live. The football teams are both very good, but the towns are different. Oh one other thing, Urban Meyer is a descendent of the Pope. Mike Shula is the descendant of a man with his own steak sauce. You be the judge.

then change the “dragged behind a pick-up” part to “forced to live in a slave labor camp until you die of starvation or are put into a gas chamber.”

that was alabama, right?

Mike Shula is, by the way, also the son of the winningest coach in NFL history.
