With all of the insanity this year, they were smart to set sights and get their guy. I think they did a great job of not turning this into another UT fiasco.

The Tennessee debacle reminds me of a High School Junior who is just starting to date. He calls up his dream girl first and she says she has other plans. Okay cool. Everyone in school knows she does so no harm done to his reputation. Then he puts some feelers out through his buddies (probably not a bright idea) and finds that a couple of other cuties have plans too. So now the grapevine knows he's looking. Not cool, but far from a disaster. Then on a flyer he asks out a girl who the other girls like, but she's on the fringe culturally in his town. His socialite mother pitches a hissy fit about it and his dad says no. He backs out and now his name is mud among all of the other girls. Now he'll be lucky to find an out of town hooker for the prom. He may land a date, but he'll be even worse off the day after the prom for asking her.

So what's the moral of this story? Unless the SEC home office objects, it might have to be somebody like Petrino, but if it is the Tennessee program will literally be decades away from recovery.

So what should he do? Ask a somewhat cute poor girl who still has an unsullied reputation. In other words I think they are going to have to look for an up and comer. Some girl still in her Freshman year, but acceptable. Maybe she'll develop a crush on her first date with the Big Boy and stay faithful for a lifetime. It may be his only chance now so he'd better love her back.

Well it looks like they decided on a Sophomore from an out of state Northern town. Maybe that will work.
