One thing I hope Jesse realizes is that, with this new contract the SEC has with CBS, ESPN...and now Fox Sports gets any spill over, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE COUNTRY....folks are going to see you slinging the rock 4+ games every year. The PAC-10 has nothing like it. The SEC is the closest thing to the NFL, and this new TV deal proves it.

But wait...there's more! :) The media is going to be all over Lane Kiffin and the Vols for the next few years. The fact that he was able to bring the best defensive coordinator in ALL of football, on board, when he was making $2 million in the NFL...and he just so happens to be his dad. Talk about a feel-good story that CBS and ESPN is going to milk for all it's worth.

Do you want to be in on this party, Jesse, or do you want 3+yrs of bench duty, 20 minutes down the road? That's what it really boils down to.

I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you play, but my heart will break for you if you announce Trojan. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero.

Some quarterbacks have two year careers and make it, but the odds are against it. Look at Tee Martin, he played for two years won a National Championship at Tennessee and then couldn't make it in the NFL. He had all the tools. What was the deal? He wasn't developed enough to play at that extremely high level. He's in coaching now and good for him. DJ Shockley decided to follow a very talented QB in David Greene to UGA. David Greene started all four years and set SEC passing records. Shockley had a senior year to show what he could do and was everything that the league was looking for at the time. A Michael Vick type guy who could throw. Shockley, despite having a very good senior year, had to wait until the 7th round before his name was called. He will be battling with a pretty good QB in John Parker Wilson for the 3rd string job. All I am saying is think.

But I watch you and I think you do what it is you do as good as it's ever been done. But you need first team reps for all four years to really develop into an elite QB prospect and be ready for the NFL. Chaney put Drew Brees into the NFL and look at him now. Your skill set reminds me a lot of Brees.

I just don't want you to make a decision based on distance when it could effect your entire career-- your life even. Yes USC has developed great QBs, but the man who had a large part in those guys and their heismans is in Knoxville leading the Orange. We will be winning National Championships sooner or later. If you decide to be a Vol, it will be sooner. Great Recruits will follow you to Knoxville. It's a family here. And that family doesn't end with the team. We are part of one big family -- The Big Orange Nation. And we love our athletes, we love our coaches, but most importantly we love our Quarterbacks. Hell, I hear all the time about random vol fans on a message board that have sat down with Monte Kiffin over a beer and talked football. He loves to talk football. He'll talk you ear off, but as fans, we eat it all up!!! We love Lane Kiffin and the brass he has brought to this battle.

We are realistic though, none of us exppects to go out and dominate under Kiffin's first year, but 7 wins and a decent bowl would be a great first step to greatness. Then in year two, we'd have you under center and you will never experience anything else in life as great as walking to the huddle on your first play and the screams for you are so loud you can't even call the play. You are a warrior so I know you'll be stone faced, but you'll be smiling inside. Running through the T is something that we hold sacred here in Tennessee (I'm in Nashville and yes the fans here are just as rabid and loving as the ones up in and around Knoxville.

We are really in it with two receivers that are ranked in the Rivals 250 that have all but said they want to be Vols if you are going to be their quarterback. You know who they are you talk to them all the time. Jac told me he was gonna kick your butt if you put on anything but an orange hat. (J/K On that one) We'lll cry for a while, then try to understand why, and then it's WTF do we do now? mode. Because without you. It's going to be hard on this great family. We will still watch your career in earnestness and wish you the very best -- see you're already part of our family. (some will hope that you ride the bench behind Barkley and then Ride the bench behind that 5 Star guy they signed one year behind you.) But most of us will love you and want well for you. That's just the kind of people that live here in Tennessee. I'm sure your mom's family knows something about that.

The SEC is the undisputed greatest conference in the land. We just signed a $2.25 billion deal with ESPN to ensure that every single SEC conference game is broadcast on TV. You will be on TV. Scouts will see you lead us to greatness. What a story. Most guys in the business of covering college football are in bed by the time the West Coast games come on, if they are even broadcast. That's huge.

The UT campus is nice. Knoxville is one of the greatest places on Earth to go to school. WE are all a family. I hope I see you on campus sometime so I can shake the hand of a man that is getting set to play big time NFL ball. You got it in you, bro, you just have to take advantage of all your opportunities. Work your hardest whatever it is you are doing. At Tennessee You will get first team reps your freshman year and there is a real possibility of winning that starting QB job. The longer you do it at a high level, the better your chances are for the millions that come with playing at the next level. We love you Jesse.

BUT WAIT...THERE's (still) MORE!!! If you call now, we'll throw in a priceless friendship with the best QB in the NFL today (and on track to break multiple NFL QB records)....Peyton Manning. Every future Vol QB becomes his adopted little brother. You have unlimited access to pick his brain for pointers and tips.

Like MC Hammer use to say...."Can't Touch This!..." :dance2:

It has been posted. In lam's thread, "press release" and others. Has nothing to do with JS. This has been a known thing for awhile and JS would of known about this.

Course I'd like to think that NL's press release is why JS pp'd his announcement today.
Give NL his day.
I know I know wishful thinking. But what if......

Gettin Lamaison does provide some relief. Hopefully now we can add Jesse, though I'm not holding my breath.
