Recruit 'em, but Don't Disrespect 'em

I'm all for Coach Richt 'recruiting' a handful of players from Penn St., because let's face it, if the tables were turned, we all know what would be happening.  But I will say that there needs to be a certain way to go about it. I'm not exactly sure what that way is, maybe it's a mere phone call, or even a text message, I just don't know. However, one thing I wouldn't do, is show up on their campus. It's simply disrespectful. Plain and simple. I know, college football is a 'dog-eat-dog' world, and the coaches are wearing Milk-bone underwear, but it's still disrespectful. You make a call, tell the kid, 'yeah, we're interested and would love to have ya, oh, and we need a some starting OL, but, we're not going to come up there and disrespect the University by walking around campus saying we'll take you, you and you'.

Evidently, Lane Kiffin don't give a rat's ass about that kind of stuff. Which is not the least bit surprising. Heck, he's probably up there partying away with the 18 year old co-eds and wrecking rental cars. Ya know, when he had his little disagreement with the late Al Davis up in Oakland, I just knew crazy Al was in the wrong. Boy, do I owe him an apology. You can obviously tell he was right when he said, "Lane's nothing but a spoiled little brat who thinks he should always have his way." Well, he said something like that.

Anyway, like I said, recruit 'em, just don't disrespect 'em.
