yeah, all homerism aside, which I dont have anyways, he's been blowing my mind like a neighbors dog with a three inch clit with his recruiting prowess. I assume its mainly a "return them to past glory, be responsible for the rebound and not just continuing the process at Bama" and "you can get a LOT of playing time early if you dont suck and arent an O-lineman"


that and stuff like this:

jesus Butch, keep doing whatever you are doing.

Got another commitment today from 4-start WR Dominique Booth over Bama, A&M and FSU

Quote :

"A prospect with good top-end speed, what sets him apart are his feet. He's quick enough to create separation from defenders by getting in and out of his breaks quickly, a skill that translate to his post-catch ability. With the ball in his hands, Booth is just as impressive making defenders miss in small spaces with slide and jump cuts that would make straight-line running backs jealous. His size will keep him from playing as a split end receiver in college and his ball skills aren't his strength, so he's not going to be a jump-ball specialist in college, but he does project as a strong threat to create big plays in between the 20s. With Booth's commitment, the Volunteer class now stands at 22 pledges and ranks as the top group nationally. The Indiana product is the second four-star wide receiver to commit in the class."

Has Tennessee ever had the #1 class? Even in there legitimate days pre-Kiffin?

7/21/2013 10:20:06 PM

Their fans think they had the best class in '97, but the actual recruiting services gave the top spot to Michigan that year

7/21/2013 10:58:29 PM

Can't wait for the Tennessee Kentucky game this season! Battle of the top recruiting classes amirite?

7/21/2013 11:00:29 PM

^^^ 2005 by Scout iirc. And I think maybe the 94 (Peyton, Brandon Stewart) as well. Might have been #2. The 97 class was the best in terms of performance.

7/31/2013 5:19:49 PM

supposedly he didnt disclose the knee injury initially... I think the guy is right, they got better commitments and moved on. Very Saban like but sucks for the kid.


and now for something on the bright side of things:

7/31/2013 10:56:53 PM

Some of my Florida and Bama grad friends are claiming Butch has brought a lot of shady aspects to Tennessee recruiting, and that there shouldn't be any way he is doing this well on the recruiting trail, given their recent on-field results. I told them they were just crazy and jealous, but if anybody knows something about cheating its Florida and Bama, so who knows.

7/31/2013 11:10:42 PM

They sound nervous/ bitter.

7/31/2013 11:13:29 PM

Doesn't recruiting usually pick up when a new coach is hired ? redlight.gif

There's picking up and then there's having the top ranked class.

The Ten Dumbest Fan Bases in America: #10 The University of Tennessee

Quote :

"where the craziest Vol fans live in the hills, drink moonshine from their own stills, and FedExed feces to Chris Fowler when Peyton Manning lost the Heisman. Fowler's feces came with a note -- "Phuck you!," it said. This really happened. "

Quote :

"So what's the dumbest sterotypical UT fan like in his habitat: He's now 47 years old, still rocking his goatee and 1998 back-to-back SEC championship t-shirt. He has been wearing "husky" jeans since 1974 and he lives in a holler in a doublewide that he inherited from his mom when she died of a rattlesnake bite in 1996. He remembers that his mother died in 1996 because it was the same year that Tennessee lost to Memphis on that ridiculous kick return touchdown when that Memphis player's arm hit the ground and it was totally NOT FAIR. He has four Peyton Manning jerseys -- Colts, Broncos, and two Vols -- hanging in his closet and he wore the "classy" Peyton Manning orange jersey to his twenty year high school reunion. There were eighteen other men in the same jersey at his reunion. Before he attended his high school reunion, he called to make sure that dropouts who later took the GED were eligible to attend. He played one year of JV football, but, miraculously, every situation that occurs in Vol football for the past thirty years bears a complete and total similarity to the 1980 Soddy Daisy JV season. He is prone to starting all conversations about Vol football strategy by saying, "Well, what we did at Soddy Daisy was..." He takes a yearly vacation to Panama City Beach, where he stays at the Econo Lodge with his on and off girlfriend named Tiffany. Tiffany works in a strip club, but she is a waitress, not a stripper. This is a HUGELY IMPORTANT distinction. She has four kids of three different mixed races -- one of them might be Travis Henry's but she's not sure because it might have just been an Applebee's bartender pretending to be Travis Henry -- and she is also a huge Vol fan. They go to three games a year, where they proceed to get drunk in the upper deck and talk about how awesome 1998 was. Both are secretly ashamed that in 2009 they role-played sex acts where he pretended to be Lane Kiffin -- he even wore the coaches polo! -- and she pretended to seduce him while playing the role of Urban Meyer's wife. Neither has talked about this since January of 2010. Before he takes his yearly trip to Panama City he dials up his Internet, hops on the message board and writes this subject, "Going to GAYtor land. Plan to piss everywhere. LOL." He calls Vandy, "Candy," and believes, "That homo Clay Travis is soooooo gay and married to James Franklin!" He has sent one Tweet in his life and it was addressed to me and read as follows, "Hey gayboy #" Of late everytime he makes a profound statement, "ESPN can go straight to hell for that bastard Charles Woodson!" He will append it with "VFL." VFL stands for Vol for Life. Using VFL is a universal sign that you could not actually be admitted to Tennessee. He gets fever blisters during football season and always says, "It's not herpes damnit, I'm just stressed," when Tiffany won't kiss him or wipe away his tears after Nick Saban sodomizes the Vols. Tiffany gave him herpes."

Hey Jaybee1200, VFL. Am i right?

Other than the shit associated with that dude being poor (living in a trailer, dating a stripper, etc)....I'd say that description hits the nail on the fucking head for you.
