Some good old Tennessee corn mash and a pretty face or two ... no, that wouldn't have much impact on an impressionable 17 year old kid.
On the grander scale, I do think that the NCAA might have decided that enough is enough, and that Tennessee is just a little too proud of their indifference to rules.

Agree with Vadi - this kind of stuff is an SEC tradition.

"Lattimore said the hostesses were 'real pretty, real nice and just real cool' and thinks they had 'a lot' of influence in his teammates making oral commitments, according to the report."
That's my kind of commitment.

That's my kind of commitment. ZING! The entire population of espn-reading males aged 15-46 snickered at that excerpt. |

Actually dan said that it was an SEC tradition, not unique to their programs. Thanksgiving is an American tradition, but they celebrate a Thanksgiving in Canada too. You may want to brush up on the definition of tradition. And dont come at me with this implied meaning stuff. Also, just because somebody else does it dont make it right. The crips sell drugs and so do the tri ads but it doesnt mean they both shouldnt be in jail. |

Hifi, as a former Tennessee student this is me telling you not to throw stones if you live in a glass house. It bothers me when Florida fans talk about the recent armed robbery when 20+ Gators have been arrested during Urban Meyer's time in Gainesville. Likewise, for you to say Florida doesn't commit minor recruiting violations is ludicrous...

Piling on hifi on three threads! REALLY GOOD TIMES!
And hifi, don't bother to reply:
"Rooter wrote: Piling on hifi on three threads! REALLY GOOD TIMES!"
Thanks for adding so much to the discussion.*
*Anticipating hifi's reply gives me an excuse to write Piling on hifi on three threads! REALLY GOOD TIMES! three times!

You know, I thought of this yesterday when I heard about Gatorade distancing themselves from Tiger. What hypocrisy!! |

You guys are throwing sand in the air. My only comment on the issue was in response to Dan's quite clear suggestion that such improprieties were specifically an SEC staple. As I referenced above, the likes of Ohio St., USC and Oklahoma, among others, employ the very same tactic. I never said it was right, nor did I suggest as much. I merely pointed out that any claims of it being an SEC monopoly are patently absurd.

Nothing about Dan's statement even remotely implied that the SEC was the only conference that cheated. You're attempted to deflect from your school's lack of ethics by pointing out others. |

I love it when the admins encourage our baser instincts.
;D
By the way, second row, fourth from the left, why yes, I would be happy to have you show me around campus. Front row, left, can come along too if she likes.

Are you kidding? I mean, no one can be that stupid. Let's be clear: Elvado wrote: Says the Florida alum. My goodness.As if this needs any explanation, the obvious point is that a Florida grad is in no place to criticize Tennessee in this area. Dan replied: Agree with Vadi - this kind of stuff is an SEC tradition.Umm ... how exactly is his statement NOT to be interpreted as suggesting that such behavior isn't rampant in the SEC? |

My only comment on the issue was in response to Dan's quite clear suggestion that such improprieties were specifically an SEC staple. I made no claims that this was limited to the SEC. Any such claims on your part are made up by you. Having been raised in Lexington, KY I have as much right to comment on the SEC as you claim to have. |

Thank you Admin. They have some nicely persuasive members. I wonder if they have titles, especially the guy members. "Pimp" seems to have a nice, descriptive ring.
