Kiffen is obviously doing more marketing than recruiting and I do have to say, he has succeeded in making UT a household name again. However, is his strategy crazy or ingenious? I do know that it caters to the egos of these prospects.

UT Wants You

You fricktard, that list has 233 people on it.

P.S. Blake Bell committed to OU, not BAMA. You might want to tell the guy who made that list.

For anyone interested, here's how the list breaks down

57 DL
33 WR
29 DB
27 OL
24 RB
23 LB
21 ATH
9 QB
8 TE
2 Kickers

Whenever a new fraternity comes on to campus, they usually have a hard time getting people to join. Since they really need someone to sign, they do what is referred to as "blanket bidding", which is giving a bid out to everyone who comes through rush. This results in a bunch of random guys that nobody really likes and a fraternity that is looked down on by it's peers.

Draw your own conclusions.

97 of those on the list went down in ranking, 31 went up. Moral of the story... There's a 3 to 1 chance that once you get offered by Tennessee that your ranking will drop! :o)

What was the point of posting that link in rebuttal? did you think that we were laughing at him because he hadn't offered enough people?

Sorry, I read Blake Simms and I guess I combined Phil Simms and Blake Bell.

Nope, just posting a more accurate list.

Meant no harm.

Sorry, I'm pretty used to annoying and pompous UT fans on this board. I probably shouldn't have flown off the handle like that.

Well that was a shocking display of tempered restraint and civil discourse. Kudos. Not used to seeing that around here.

Why does the safety list seem small. Do you guy actually expect to land some of them from CA?

Because they are really set at safety.

They took Janzen Jackson and Darren Myles in the last class.
