See Jesse, it's simple math
Dear Mr. Scroggins,
Dude, are you watching this? I mean you saw the UT-Florida game right? And you think you want to go to USC? Jesse, take a bit of advice from me, someone who knows very little about most things but understands this, YOU NEED TO BE AT TENNESSEE NEXT YEAR.
Look, I know its been your dream to play at USC, but I think playis the key word in your whole dream there. And come on, I think we both know that your chances of unseating Mr. Barkley in the next two years are slim and no freaking way. Do you enjoy wearing maroon and gold so much that you are willing to hold a clipboard and waive a towel for 4 to 5 years? If so, you definitely need to stay committed to the Trojans. It won’t be a total loss, you will get a world class education and will be proficient at various hand signals, a useful skill I’m sure.
Jesse, before you sign on Pete’s dotted line, let me make a suggestion. Call Terrelle Pryor or Tate Forcier and ask them what it’s like to play right away for a big time program. I bet it is the ride of their lives. Then ask Mitch Mustain if he’s glad he’s out there picking splinters out of his butt in So Cal instead of playing somewhere else. I bet his surfing skills have really improved, and he’ll probably have a lot of time to do that in a few years. I see he has his own fan website, but not one start at USC. I’m not knocking Mustain, but its my guess that he’s starting to rethink that whole transfer thing. It’s too late for him.
Here’s what I’m getting at, Jesse, we need you at Tennessee. I know you watched the UT-Florida game, or at least saw the highlights. We were all over the news, it was all the national media talked about. Jesse, know this, if we had a decent, much less highly talented QB like yourself, we would have beat the freakin’ Gators down in the swamp. Beat them with less talent, but better coaches. You can be a part of something here, you can be our Carson Palmer. You will play here, Jesse, and you will play with great players around you. You will be playing for coaches that will make you better and who will send you to the league, and you will be playing at the same school that Peyton Manning once played at. Doesn’t that sound great? And best of all, you will be PLAYING!
No other situation at a major school can match what we have to offer you. Incredible facilities, insane fan base, the best coaching staff around, a cast of talented young players, and the chance (a REAL chance) to play right out tha’ gate. Just promise me you’ll think about it. We’ll be here, rebuilding this thing into something special.
Later,
Stickdaddy
