Kiffin's New Billboard in South FloridaSat, 08/01/2009 - 6:57am — Rusty At last week's SEC Media Days, Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin made some remarks about having a billborad going up in south Florida. The picture above is what the billboard is planned to be. The interesting part is not neccessarily what the billboard says, but where it is located.
The billboard will be going up, according to the Miami Herald, near the intersection of I-95 and Oakland Park Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. Oakland Park Boulevard happens to be the same road that holds Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson High School. Why is Lane Kiffin interested in advertising so close to Boyd Anderson High School? Demar Dorsey, a 4-star Cornerback happens to attend high school at Boyd Anderson. He is listed as being a "soft verbal" commitment to Urban Meyer and the Gators by Rivals, but the team he is listed as most interested in besides Florida is Tennessee. Although Dorsey has been a verbal commitment to Florida since October of 2008, he is being recruited heavily by Kiffin and Eddie Gran, has recieved an official offer from them, and has shown a medium amount of interest in attending their school. His other offers are from Wisconsin, West Virginia, FSU, Miami, North Carolina, and Rutgers. In last year's recruiting battle over NuKeese Richardson, Kiffin got another south Florida Gator commitment to pretend that he was still 100% committed to Florida even though he had told Tennessee he would sign with them on National Signing Day in private. Kiffin knew not only would Florida go after NuKeese hard if they knew he'd changed his mind, but also that their numbers for scholarship offers would be off if they held a scholarship open for NuKeese and he didn't accept it. They played the same game with a 5-star LSU recruit named Janzen Jackson as well. The good news is that Meyer not only learns lessons the first time around, but he learns lessons really well. Meyer won't let Kiffin fool him again. As the old saying goes, fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. Kiffin and the Tennessee staff better have some more tricks up their sleeve for the 2010 recruiting class besides a billboard because Meyer can not only out-coach Kiffin, but he can out recruit him as well.

Want to know something
Want to know something kinda funny? I actually stayed in a hotel for the BCS Game against Oklahoma about 2 exits from where that sign will be.
It's just funny to me that they recruit that area by putting up a billboard selling tickets (WTF? Who would buy tickets to drive to go to Tennessee games from SOUTH FLORIDA?!?) while we recruit that area by winning national titles about 10 minutes away.
I guess that's about even as far as making your presence known down there, huh?
FSU, how does 6 in a row taste?
You got to LOVE how Kiffin
You got to LOVE how Kiffin gets under the skin of you clowns. Get on the Lane Train or get run over!!! GO VOLS!!!!!
Yeah mike I've heard you
Yeah mike I've heard you like to look at pictures like that, probably while wearing you pink TeBows.
Funny how you cant make up
Funny how you cant make up your mind what team you're for. You mentioned in another post that you were a bulldog fan. I guess you just switch between the two teams hoping one of them beats the Gators?
Guess what though? Neither one of them did! Enjoy watching us in California playing for the BCS title in January! Hopefully, the Vols will move up and actually play in a BOWL GAME this year!

First off Free Shoes, you
First off Free Shoes, you don't need to worry about what we're doing. Part of the reason Florida is where they are is because you guys and UM have been pussys down there and not working at recruting. They've had first pick for over a decade.
Also, you guys to need to be working on beating Clemson and NCState in your wuss conference. If you want to man up and get into a real conference don't chicken out next time you have the chance.
Stop sucking up to Florida fans and tell Marcus "3 and" Outzen we said hi!
