Coastal Dog sounds like he knows a lot about Tennessee state prisons. Are you the Otis Campbell of those facilities?

So let me get this straight. A UF grad is the head of a completely failing FL high school and spends more time trashing other institutions of higher learning than making his high school better and proving his UF degree worth something. UF fans can be proud of the quality of human being they produce. Their “voice” in the state of Florida would rather spend his time insulting other colleges than doing his job. The taxpayers and parents of the area can also be proud their tax dollars are spent wisely. So we have a UF grad Congresswoman with poor use of the English language and a school principal of a failing school as the spokespeople of UF.

As for the UGA pup fans taking cheap shots…how’s that national title coming? How are those top recruiting classes coming? Funny how UGA fans are on here getting their shots when their school hasn’t been clean. UGA fans have to take their shots at UT because they know they cannot take shots at a certain FL school that consistently owns them. Look at last year’s UF-UGA score for further evidence. Urban’s already run the score up on you boys and will no doubt keep doing it. It’s sad when all you can do is look up to a creature that crawls on the ground each year.

Hey “dawg fan”, how did the Tech/Ga game turn out last fall???

Did Urban Liar promise Alejo a spot on this years team and a starting position????

A Tennessee fan (Clay Travis, CBS Sportsline columnist) wrote about a Florida fan (Ariel Alejo, Pahokee High School Principal) questioning why the Florida fan is directly obstructing the possible career advancement of young people under his administration.

Mutt fans a problem with this? Oh, that’s right… envy.

The state of Tennessee is closing Brushy Mountain State Prison…they are moving the inmates to Stokley Center on the campus of UT. They will be available for game days. Lame’s daddy will be right at home with the inmates. Don’t worry having lived in Tennessee for most of my life the hype will reach a new level by Aug. Top 10 – National Champs – Let’s hope SI will put Lame’s mug shot on the cover at the start of the season. One thing remains true though…nothing…like the Big Orange…!!!
Bless Georgia’s heart

You Dawgs fans are about as stupid as the principal in Pahokee. UGA sucked for yrs until Richt gets there and since he’s been there they’ve underachieved. According to ESPN and Sports Illustrated UGA is the greatest team to ever play football, but last time I checked you haven’t won a championship since 1980. Be prepared. It’s about to be the 90’s all over again. The Gawgs getting their A$$ stomped in Athens and Knoxville.

Kiffen needs to apologize. He certainly soon will be an expert because every time he opens his mouth he offends someone. I think his comments about a poor largely black community border on rank racism by a slick guy who has been a daddy’s boy all his life and has yet to co anything on his own.

Recruits want to come to GA because of Richt. Matthew Stafford stated that, if Richt was still in FSU, he would definitely be a Seminole. Richt will continue to bring in top talents because he’s honest with the kids, parents trust their kids to be mentor by him. He has a top coaching staffs whom turned down several offers to stay with Richt because they know their job is secured than any other coaching jobs around the nation. And most of all he’s a great man. Ain’t no way Richt will ever struggled to bring in good talents.

that’s just complete junk out of that travis guy

kiffen is the one who completely insulted the principle’s school last year when he insinuated that they didn’t know how to operate a fax machine. it was a complete swipe at the whole town down there in pahokee. completely unacceptable.”

I think you missed the point of the comment. Nu’Keese’s aunts had to fax the letter from another school, because they believed that if they gave it to the Pahokee staff it would get lost, or faxed to the wrong school. In essence, Kiffin was accusing Alejo of being a fan who didn’t really have the kids’ best interest in mind. And sure enough, Alejo is proving that to be true.

“disadvantaged kids who have worked twuice as hard to get here”,…. phooey!!
Most of these kids have natural Allah given ability and can barely put down the blunt long enough to make it to my convenience store to hold it up, much less to class. No wonder so many are academically ineligible and/or must have heavy tutoring.
If you don’t beleive that you can get out of my convenience store right now!

Setting foot on a high school campus is not a right, it is a privelege that can be earned or squandered. Kiffin has been denied the privelege because of his dissing of the City of Pahokee and his refusal to provide an honest, written apology that the Chamber of Commerce President requires.

Kiffin and his staff are not the victims. A hat-in-hand apology would show a sincerity that he has not yet been able to muster. All I have seen from him thus far are pride, arrogance, and a childish attitude.

Kiffin did not run off anyone, a few players got kicked off and a few players left(who never saw playing time last year and would not this year). When you get a new coach, sometimes the players just don’t gel with the new coaching staff, it happens every time with coaches. Only one player started out of that 11 and he was kicked off by Kiffin.. So get the facts straight.

And the Pahokee situation, the principal is only doing this because he’s a gator alumni. He has no business keeping a coach out of the highschool.

Kiffin will be gone in 2 years. He is setting up UT for a long rebuilding job by another head coach by signing rapests and recruiting players with 780 SAT scores. He is pissing off high school coaches every time he opens his mouth. Problem is he won’t be able to get an assistant coaching job in the SEC because he has pissed off all of the coaches in the league as well. This tool makes Al Davis look like a sane, well versed, highly intelligent owner. Heck, Kiffen even makes Al’s teeth look good!!!! (If you have had the pleasure of seeing Al’s teeth then you know what I’m talking about!!!)

GatorFanPahokeeAlum, if the shoe fits (if you have one)wear it! Ariel, the mermaid, has NO right to keep anyone from being on campus in Pahokee to offer a D-1 scholarship to s student/athlete. You’re dreaming if you think Kiffin is coming to Pahokee to personally address the Chamber of Commerce with an apology. The comments were tongue in cheek to VOLS boosters. FYI, Nu’keese Richardson’s family did, in FACT, request that his scholarship papers be sent to his aunt at the middle school instead of the high school so nothing gatorish would happen to them!

You people out there just don’t get it! Kiffin just didn’t insult Pahokee High School, he insulted the WHOLE CITY OF PAHOKEE. All the citizens of Pahokee is asking for, is for Kiffin to come to Pahokee to apologize to the citizens as a whole, not just the coach and the principal. Being a Gator fan has nothing to do with it, it’s about PRINCIPLE!!! Get it right before you post stuff on the internet. GO BLUE DEVILS!!! GO GATORS!!!!

TN and their fans are truly becoming the Oakland Raiders of college football. Under Fulmer the school was having a problem with bad behavior players so what do they do? They fire Fulmer and as always you just blame the previous coach for players bad behavior. You hire a new coach which means you get to hit the reset button on recruiting new players with bad behavior like Hood who Fulmer had backed off on recruiting. TN is now recruiting ex-QBs Marve of Miami and Cam Newton of FL who were cast offs by their teams teams. Kiffin is using the scorched earth tactics in recruiting where he even tells Marlon Brown’s grandmother who did not want him to go to TN get out of my way I am coming through. This coach is like General Sherman the yankee general who burned Atlanta and attacked all parties on his march to the sea. He thinks a lot of us in the south are nothing more than ignorant hillbillies who he has contempt for as evidenced by his comments about no shirts, no shoes, and so dumb we will have to pump gas. Kiffin better win quickly as his enemies list grows quickly in his scorched earth method of recruiting. He better know other schools will enjoy turning him in if he is shady in recruiting. He will be judged harshly if these bad behavior players he is recruiting continue to act according to form. No doubt about it TN is becoming the Oakland Raiders leaving devastation in their path with this unruly crew of pirates.

** And it’s hilarous to watch the UGA & UF fans comment on Tennessee, Kiffin & how he’s going to fail.. Hell he must be doing something right, got a awesome staff. got # 8 recruiting class with less than 3 months to do so, got the # 1 player in america to come to knoxville.. I don’t expect success overnight but Tennessee will be back! don’t worry! GO VOLS

I don’t think it benefits georgia at all.. Tennessee offered i believe 8 guys from there, right now you are not allowed to go to the school and talk to the players so that’s fine. kiffin can still talk to the players. Georgia is losing ground in recruiting according to the AJC.

Kiff apologized several times, but the douche principal wants him to make a special trip down there, and do it at an assembly or pep rally or something. I’m UGA through and through and this only benefits our program. But some of these people are just overly sensitive, and evrything out of his mouth someone takes offense to. If I were Kiff, I would hold a special conferance, tell the principal to go F themselves, and would take back my apologies.

Looks like in spite of his comments, the recruits are coming. Spurrier ran his mouth and did just fine while at FU. Might as well get used to the comments before you lose to us. Notice how he only beyotch slaps urby’s people? And that should tickle Dawg fans everywhere. He might rile the gators up so much that the dawgs will have a chance to win this year.

Seems like Kiffin hacks a lot of pople off withhhis insults and comes back and tries to apologize for them later…point is why would you want your kids to play for a d*** like this…before this is all over a lot of poeple are going to make TN regret their choice of coaches

Aww, those poor, pitiful kids from “disadvantaged” backgrounds have to work twice as hard. Give me a freaking break! Do they get extra homework? Do they go to class for 16 hours a day and the “advantaged” kids only go for 8? This clown doesn’t think that these “disadvantaged” athletes haven’t received special treatment in classes, just to keep them eligible for sports? Do the “advantaged” kids get these same benefits? This liberal nonsense has got to stop. If these kids are “disadvantaged” at all, it is because their Mom (lord knows their Dad isn’t around) has made terrible choices in life…you know, like having a bunch of kids that she can’t afford to take care of.

Clay Travis of NCAA Football FanHouse comments: “Whoever is in charge of Florida’s high schools should issue a statement. It should read as follows: ‘We’re happy whenever any of our students receive scholarship offers to attend college. Particularly when those offers arrive for students from comparatively disadvantaged background who have to work twice as hard to achieve their college dreams. ”

Laughable. This is the same team that has offered a scholarship to a kid whose past 4 years of “achievements” include assisting in the rape of his own cousin

Dear Mr Kiffin: It would seem that you have gotten yourself backed into a corner, and Daddy will not be able to help you here. Sir this is the SEC and yes you did hire a bunch of coaches who are outstanding recruiters they’re ability to coach however remains in doubt. This includes the elder Mr Kiffin lets see how he relates to 18 and 19 yr olds, not seasoned NFL vets. In the future you may want to look into a mouth ectomy, because everytime you open yours something stupid comes out and you piss off another coach who is just circling the calendar. UT you got what you deserve and UF,Ala and So Car have coaches with long memories.

Now, we understand where Al Davis was coming from. I personally thought Al was just being his old obnoxious self, but NOT REALLY! This guy is classless and if the City of Pahokee is so dishonest, shoeless and shirtless, then why he is down there recruiting their kids? Evidently, he saw something down there he wanted and pursued. UT Kiffin reminds me of a big ole kid in a candy store and his daddy won’t let him buy any. He is very immature and very insecure and seems to be intimidated being in the SEC. So guess what, he uses a new tactic to be seen, get loud and make everyone to pay attention to him. Seems like it has worked.
