Spurrier Recruits one from Phils back yard!

Well so much for Phil Fulmer lurking in the pines of SC looking for talent. Maybe he needs to keep a sharp eye on his back door! Well that may not be true due to the strong standing Tennessee has at QB right now, but the times they are a changin'. The 'ole ball coach has recruited a very talented quarterback named Cade Thompson from a little town called Maryville Tennessee this week. Now for all of you SC bloggers, Maryville (pronounced mur-vul) is located 20 minutes from the Volunteers beloved Neyland Stadium. Maryville is a 4A school with a very impressive football program. Reminds me of Irmo in the old days. You have to see the school on game night to know what I mean. Maryville was 15-0 and was in some way involved in post season play. Unfortunately I was wrapped up in more serious things such as fantasy football statistics and video card driver updates to know exactly how far they went. Oh well, it's just refreshing to see SC recruiting in TN for a change. I know we probably still get our butts kicked next year. But hey, we took their favorite son out of their back yard and he didn't want to play in the biggest loudest orange sand box. He wants to play for the best! Go cocks!
