Things Aren’t Always Nu’Keasy When You Join The Dark Side

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:12:10 +0000

Nu’Keese Richardson, the recruit at the center of the Kiffin-foot-in-mouth Urban Meyer “cheating” scandal this summer, apparently has been catching quite a bit of heat from Florida fans. Among other things, there is currently a push on Gator message boards to direct taunts his way Sunday.

While a kid that turns on any team at the very last minute deserves some flack, his coach certainly hasn’t done him any favors here. Lane’s job is to protect these kids, not exploit them for a few cheers at a booster function. Not only did Lane accuse Urban of cheating with regard to Nu’Keese’s recruitment, but he also gloated about stealing him from Florida. Hopefully Lane learned his lesson this year, but this ain’t his first rodeo, and something tells us he’s just getting started. Unfortunately, for Nu’Keese, Lane won’t be out there returning punts for him today.

Tebow: “Nobody puts Coach Meyer in the Corner!”

Tim Tebow honored the late great Patrick Swayze this week when responding to a reporter’s question about Lane Kiffin’s claims that Urban Meyer cheated during the recruitment of Nu’Keese Richardson. When asked about Kiffin’s accusations, Tebow responded “nobody puts Coach Meyer in the corner!” O.K., so Tebow didn’t actually say that, but said he doesn’t like anyone talking about his coach and has Coach Meyer’s back. (Gatorsports)

The Lane Kiffin calls Meyer a cheater story has officially jumped the shark. We can only guess that it is Kiffin’s comments that are the only thing keeping this matchup resembling anything close to a “rivalry game”.

Apple Found Nowhere Near Tree

Turns out our favorite new “maverick” coach has at least one thing in common with Coach Meyer: a healthy respect for his father Monty (we hope).

We suspect this won’t temper Meyer’s desire to put the new kid in his place. Maybe Al Davis isn’t so crazy after all.
