BrotherDutch (12/1/2009 at 10:58 AM) Report Violation My buddy overhead the call about it from one of their "clients" on speaker phone. Said they were laughing pretty good about it. I don't know if/when it will surface in the press. Let me say this though, anyone in the SEC that doesn't believe that the University of Tennessee always has and ALWAYS WILL have someone inside the NCAA is not living in reality. There was no "Albert Means" investigation until Tennessee created one. When Pat Dye started taking kids from the Shoals and Huntsville, there was an Eric Ramsey investigation at Auburn. Tennessee is as dirty as LSU. They all are. It's who's careless. Saban was meticulous about who he allowed "inside" the LSU program. I think even the LSU fans will tell you that. If they won't, ask Glenn Guilbeau. Richt and Garner know what areas they'll always be protected in. They won't buy a kid in Florida. But, Less is an outsider. He thought the other coaches wouldn't turn him in like in the Big 12. Wrong.

I have no problem believing this. Tennessee is such a chicken shite football program and now they have hired this little chicken shite punk for a coach and he is just like the rest of those hillbilly heathens.

someone posted a list of players dj was recruiting so les still let him recruit this year.

i don't think dj was worth all of this

who knows at this point. He might have had control of dj and actually told him to do this shite. I was just throwing out if he didn't know it is kinda worse considering that shows lack of control

I don't think anyone knows for certain when Miles and Alleva were made aware of all of this. Obviously, Miles and Alleva both know when they knew about it, and the indication from Alleva that the situation will not affect Miles' job at all signals to me that Miles and Alleva did everything properly and put a stop to it as soon as they found out about it.

If Alleva feels Miles did something wrong, there would have been no reason to throw in the "this will not affect Miles at all." Just let it play out, and hold that Ace card to yourself, if I'm Alleva and feel that Miles did something wrong.

That said, given what we've got thus far, it's pretty obvious to me Miles and Alleva handled this properly, but we shall see as more details emerge I guess.

But it would be consistent with so many other things we've seen from Les

I will call it now, Saban to BR after the bowl games are over.

You've gotta stop it man. You're going to get the Rantards all in a froth.

Players living off campus get a stipend or an allowance for room & board.

This is true. Or used to be. Dewayne Jarrett (U$C) was busted for pocketing his stipend and staying rent free with Leinart and someone else. The NCAA made him pay back around 19,000 dollars in restitution, but U$C (as usual) was never penalized for it.

guys, part of the assistant coaches' bonus is how well they recruit. I wouldn't assume that Les was on board; just like in a lot of jobs the boss doesn't always know that employees are gaming the system in order to meet their targets.

I am thinking about opening the

McCarthy Apartments

just off campus... with complimentary bus service to the lsu area.. drop off near practice facility..

Im looking for some people to back me financially.. Anybody??
