Being that the SEC felt the need to add this to the federal lawsuit, AND is using it as its justification for LOIC, i felt the need to listen to it again. As on the broadcast, all you can hear as Kiffin is walking away is "imagine if we had pro players"

however, a different angle and sound of the clip reveals the full statement.

as the interview is done, while walking away, kiffing says "it took everything for me not to say 'imagine if we had pro players'"

so by definition, Kiffin was showing his restraint to NOT say a demeaning comment to the media/SEC. This is further demonstrated in the post game PC where kiffin is asked about the comment and says he didnt realize ESPN was still rolling video.

Kiffin and Holly Rowe

Get out of here with your context, accuracy, and logic.

This is the SEC. Decisions are made on a whim based on the emotions and feelings of a menopausal woman.

The joke was said in context of us kicking Clemson's arse 31-3 at halftime after everyone screamed that 2 depth players from NFL training camps would be an unfair advantage.

Taking that as a threat that we're definitely going to roster these players is just misreading the whole thing. Kiffin has said repeatedly in public we'll comply with SEC rules.

Don’t interfere with Sankey’s feelings. They are fragile.

Thanks. I knew he said something before the phrase. That makes sense now.

This needs to be stickied, and also copied to the SEC Rant.

I can’t believe how pathetic the SEC has acted.

It was on live TV but you had to be really paying attention. I go to the games and watch the network broadcast that I record later the next day. I knew of the quote so I was looking for it but it was on the live feed.

As the OP stated the first part of the statement was muffled because he was walking away and had his back turned but the last part was captured.
