Searched but didn't see, so sorry if this is Germans. But Les is no longer the red-headed step child of the conference. Think we're mad at how Kiffin handled Jackson? Check out what he did with this Florida commit --

Lane seems like the new boy in school with a chip on his shoulder and who needs to "man up" to make sure he gets noticed. Be careful what you ask for douchbag. This ain't sunny laid back California!!!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin accused Florida coach Urban Meyer of violating recruiting rules in pursuing wide receiver prospect Nu'Keese Richardson.
"I love the fact that Urban [Meyer] had to cheat and still didn't get him."
WVLT-TV reported that Kiffin told a group of fans at a signing day breakfast celebration Thursday morning that Meyer phoned Richardson while the recruit was making his official visit to Tennessee recently.
"I'm gonna turn Florida in right here in front of you," Kiffin said, according to WVLT-TV. "While Nu'Keese was on campus, his phone kept ringing. One of the coaches says, 'who's that?' And he said, Urban Meyer."
Richardson, a Pahokee, Fla, native, signed with the Volunteers on Tuesday, despite having indicated he would sign with the Gators.
Kiffin told the crowd, "I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn't get him."

Kiffin also delighted in telling the crowd how the Vols, specifically assistant Eddie Gran, simply outmaneuvered the Gators in getting Richardson to leave the state of Florida. Tennessee's coaches told Richardson to keep telling everybody that he was still committed to Florida, which he had been since last May.
"You can't understand how hard this is to get done," Kiffin said. "Eddie had this set up at 7 o'clock in the morning. They (Richardson's aunts) got the papers signed by the kid. They didn't go do it at the school because they knew somebody at the school was going to screw it up. The fax machine wouldn't work, or they would have changed the signatures, all the things that go on in Pahokee (Fla.) now. The aunts took it over to a junior high, found a fax machine that worked and faxed them over to us at 7 o'clock, and I kept it in a drawer till their 1 o'clock press conference."
Kiffin also took aim at Alabama coach Nick Saban and suggested that Saban should "thank" new Tennessee assistant Lance Thompson for the Crimson Tide's No. 2-ranked class. Thompson was one of Saban's best recruiters at Alabama before leaving to join the Tennessee staff in January.
Thompson even got into the act and assured the crowd that Saban wasn't going to get another one of his players.
All I can say is, "Whew!"
That's a lot of talking for a guy who's never won a game in the SEC, let alone a championship.

My favorite part is that he told the Florida commit to stay committed to Florida until the last second. What a scum bag.
