The CheckerBoard

Anything is possible when the lying, cheating ogre is involved. He will do ANYTHING to get a kid signed.

First off, USC is hands down the easiest place to recruit at in the country.

Second, he signed us a few 5 stars right? How'd they turn out?

I agree 100%. Look at all the 5 stars we had and how many finish their freshman year.
I can't remember none really except Douglas.

That's on your coach. He left you guys stacked with a bright future, and the next coach in line blew it. Stop hating and show some class.

Wait....what? Did I just see someone refer to Kiffin and class in the same sentence. Brah, you have got to be out of your freakish mind. NOTHING about Kiffin says class. You don't just up and leave a coaching position the way Kiffin did...the players deserved better, and quite frankly, us fans deserved better. Not to mention the fact that Orgeron called commits and practically bribed (arguably at Kiffin's direction) them not to early enroll. I'm not sure what book you're reading, but in mine, that's bush league. I will give the man credit...he's become a really good head coach, but the way he operates puts a really bad tastes in many Tennesseans' mouths, and you're being naive if you're expecting to read something other than that on a Vols247 site.

Hmm, a TN Vols board with some very reasonable posts. That is except for...

It's nothing against your program.... Kiffin just left our program with deep wounds. His only recruiting class had already fallen apart with us before Dooley was hired, and now it seems we are battling as programs for a lot of major recruits. That wouldn't normally be an issue, but just the fact that he is the coach at your school makes our fans struggle with it. I personally wish USC the best, your program has been great long before Coach Kiffin and will be long after him, but I definitely can't wait until your next coaching change, and I think that is only fair considering our history with him. He is doing great things at USC, but he left us fixing more things than he did good for us. Go , Fight On Trojans, but screw Lane Kiffin, because let's face it, that guy sucks as a person.

Appreciate the class bro, you guys are always welcome on our board, we all have a fan or two that take it too far, but most of you guys have been great when coming over. The Michigan State crew was on the board a little bit ago and those guys might be some of the funniest around.

We generally have no issues with people from other boards dropping in from time - we'll even let Alabama fans post here from time to time. But unlike some other UT-related sites, we don't really go for a lot of the trash-talking and other hijinks that are so common elsewhere. There are some UT fans who will hate USC with a passion as long as Kiffin's in charge there, and that's just the nature of the game. But as long as people respect us, we will respond in kind...
