Lane Kiffin to Urban Meyer: Cheaters never win and winners never cheat

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin gave Florida rival Urban Meyer a shout-out this morning at the Vols recruiting celebration.

And that is not a complimentary thing.

Kiffin, referring to what he called a recruiting violation (the NCAA says it was not) that Meyer received in pursuit of eventual Tennessee signee Nu'Keese Richardson, told the crowd:

"I'm going to turn Florida in right now in front of you. Nu'Keese was here on campus (on his recruiting visit) and his phone kept ringing.

"One of our coaches said, 'Nu'Keese, who's that?' He said, 'Urban Meyer.'

"Just so you know, when a recruit is on another campus, you can't call him. I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn't get him."

"We don't have a rule that states you can't call a prospective student athlete when they are visiting another schools campus," said NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osborn.

Here is a statement from Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley:

"There was no rule violation and we have confirmed this with Southeastern Conference. It is obvious that Coach Kiffin doesn't know that there is not a rule precluding phone contact with a prospect during an official visit on another campus during a contact period. His allegations are inappropriate, out of line and, most importantly, totally false. It is completely unfair to Urban Meyer, our coaching staff, our football program and our institution. The appropriate action at this time in my opinion is for Coach Kiffin to make a public apology. His comments not only slandered our coach, but he violated SEC rules by publicly criticizing another coach and institution."

Oh yeah, the two teams play Sept. 19 in Gainesville.

Kiffin, and his assistant Lance Thompson, then turned their attention to Alabama with jibes about losing to Utah and how Thompson, a former assistant for the Crimson Tide actually did all the recruiting at the that school before leaving to join Kiffin.

"Nick Saban  should have started his press conference (Wednesday) by saying, 'Our great class that we signed ... I'd really like to thank Lance (Thompson) because Lance signed eight of those guys.' "

I give Kiffin 3 seasons max before a complete washout.

So good.

Police used a Taser on Jenkins, who punched someone in the head after being told not to.

Hahaha.

[Sgt PSN]

Jenkins told police the fight started because he thought someone was going to steal the gold chain around his neck.

uh, hey dumbass, maybe if you don't walk around with a mr t starter kit on, you won't have to worry about anyone stealing it.
