Maybe all those ex Ole Miss players down there will do some talking</p>

According to one fatass walrus I know, there's a 4 star WR on every corner in Miami.

of recruiting. This makes UNC, Auburn, USF, tOSU, and they just got wrapped up with USC that are all under investigation of some kind (not directly related with recruiting). Am I missing anyone?

I know UT is for basketball (since Sweaty Bruce was about as ignorant as a pile of bricks) and I think baseball... but I didn't think they were investigating their football program.

And to answer drt7891, yes, Tennessee football is under investigation. The rare triple, football, basketball & baseball all under investigation at the same time.</p>

There has been rumors that if bad things come out about Kiffen while he was at UT he could lose his job. The AD who hired Kiffen was let go and they brought in a new guy to clean everything up.

 

[drt7891]

but I was not knocking Shmuley. It makes perfect sense since Kiffin is a peckerwood. I'm not a huge UT fan by any means, but I'm glad he is out of the SEC.

Is there a possibilty that the investigation of Auburn could lead to the light of them paying off Newton?

Regarding this article, I guess I'm glad he didn't follow up on this bold, yet uneducated, assumption.

......Meh, making pot shots at Croom have long ago lost their luster, but I'm still gonna post cause I'm bored.
