LRCW Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Because he'd been committed to Southern California for so long, Jeffrey said he did inform Carroll that he planned to sign with South Carolina. The Trojans had tried to put the squeeze on Jeffrey earlier in the recruiting process and told him that they were going to pull his offer unless he agreed not to take visits anywhere else. To make a long story short, Jeffrey took his visits to South Carolina and Tennessee, and the Trojans never quit recruiting him. "He tried his best to talk me out of it, but my mind was made up," said Jeffrey, who still refers to Carroll as "Pete." Kiffin was equally dogged. But when it was obvious that Jeffrey wasn't going to Tennessee, Kiffin took off the gloves. According to Jeffrey and Wilson, Kiffin told Jeffrey that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina. Jeffrey was doing his best to stay awake at that point, but that comment from Kiffin woke him up. He clearly hasn't forgotten it, either. "He said it, but it's not worth talking about," Jeffrey said.

Clyde Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Kiffin denies it. The kid's coach said he heard it. I have to go with the kid and his coach.
halfback20 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 How...or why does he keep saying stupid things?
gchs_uk9 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Does anybody even get paid to pump gas anymore? There are a couple states where you aren't allowed to pump your own gas. New Jersey is one.
CoachBuckett Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I can't wait until the Vols play the Gators and Gamecocks. This guy is a horses - backside.
CoachBuckett Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Can't wait until he slams us. :popcorn: Only a matter of days.
Clyde Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 There are a couple states where you aren't allowed to pump your own gas. New Jersey is one. I was in a car with 3 Jersey guys in NJ and started to get out to pump my gas. I couldn't figure out why they looked at me like I had 2 heads.

stick1 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Remind me before UT plays Fla next year to throw my 401K on the game. I need to make up for the bad market this year.
KY Thorobred Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Kiffin is the perfect hire for UT, I'll just leave it at that for now.
Jason Bucklen Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I can't wait until the Vols play the Gators and Gamecocks. This guy is a horses - backside. Fla will beat them I don't know about the Gamecocks.
