Vol61, here's what you need to think seriously about...
I have never had a problem with UT, and LSU fans in general have no reason to dislike UT. The success of UT is generally good for LSU since you play Bama and UF. Yet somehow, the good fans of LSU have taken a serious dislike to UT, and it isn't because we are afraid of you. Some might say it's because your coach (and I use that term loosely) has engaged in ethically questionable recruiting tactics. But no, the real reason is that the UT fans have become pompous windbags that insist on telling us all about how their 5-7 team will in short order be dominating the SEC. You guys have become worse than the gumps. Is this really how you want to be perceived? As being more retarded than Bammers?
Now go home, gumpbilly...

We're kids on a message board blogging about recruiting. Don't give me some lecture on class like it has any bearing on these forums.
Your coaching staff rips their shirts off and gets "crunk" for 17 year-old boys who find it, and I quote, "Awkward". So stay classy there Tenn.
Oh and go F yourself.

Excellent post. I completely agree.

Orgeron said himself he was offered 900K. I would think he would know what he was offered.
Please ban yourself from posting anything for 30 days. Do you even know anything about your DL coach? Good grief man; at least try to keep your posts sane and rational.
What's next? Are you gonna tell us that Orgeron was offered the DC job at USC because Orgeron said so? Wow, just wow.
Believe me when I say that it is LSU's best interest for Vols not to suck and but don't try to sell carzy to us. We have zero hope that Vols won't suck anytime soon.

I was offered 134 million to be LSU's DC.
FACT.
FACT.

Frank Wilson and Ogre will not get but one (MAYBE two) kids from LA......book that!
LSU can't sign EVERY player from Louisiana...but we are pretty good at getting some from other states.
UT will continue to struggle because Bammer is taking some of there territory and Kiffin will continue to embarrass the Vol Nation.......book it.

Tennessee will get players from La? Not the ones we want my friend, go ask Saban about that.

Also I don't think comparing Tenn to Ol'Miss is to good of a comparison.
Actually, this quote right here makes it a very good comparison. Coulda/shoulda/woulda:

You seem to forget just two years ago we played you all in the championship game and was an Eric Anige interception away from blowing your 2 loss national championship.
quote:
History proves that and I think the coaching staff we have will be the ones that get Tennessee back where they have traditionaly been and that is at the top of the conference.
I predict that in two seasons, Monte Kiffin will be in a hospice and Lane Kiffin will be unemployed.

Congratulations, you've managed to display perfect examples of unintelligence and jealousy in the same sentence.

Yeah, about as classy as when you said this:

He is an overweight fullback who keeps getting bigger. Maybe he will make a decent DL. Maybe. But if he keeps eating he will never see the field. And yea I seen him play.
And yeah, you didn't conjugate that verb right either, you stupid frick.

I apologize if I missed this, but has Vol61 or anyone else provided a link to the statement attributed to Orgeron that he was "overed" 900k by LSU?
Seems that this contention has fostered much of this thread and I 've never seen any written indication that even Orgeron has made this claim.
Can somebody 'hep me?

This is the only site I visit other than my own team's....it is the best one IMO (other than ours of course). I have finally felt compelled to stop just trolling and actually post.
I just don't understand the continued discussion of how we allocated our coaches salaries? Lane Kiffin is unproven and should not be paid like the Miles and Sabans. And the coaching tree of Monte Kiffin can be debated but he is more than deserving of his salary.
Revenue from our athletic department funds a huge amount of our academic progarms and UT simply distributed the pool of money differently than most teams. We needed to augment our rookie head coach with good support and paid them accordingly. The allocation will change over time as Lane proves himself and Monte retires. Once our head coach gets paid $3.7 to put him in the same company as Miles and Saban and we no longer need the same level of experienced assistants, then maybe we can stop rehashing our coaches' salaries?
As for Orgeron, LSU countered our offer but I don't believe LSU offered him $900,000. Coach O grew up an LSU fan and that kind of money would have been hard to turn down. But we both wanted the guy and I am glad we got him. He will make recruiting battles more interesting in LA and I look forward to seeing how they play out on this site.

a good and reasonable post...
The 900k rumor is false...600k was the final offer...Miles gave O everything he wanted via the Agents, that is why the press ran the article that O was coming to LSU.. and yes, most of us wanted him pretty badly, because he can recruit like no other...But Miles is not exactly hurting on the recruiting trail..
anyways, welcome to TD...pretty sure UT is the pick today
