While we keep trying to get back in the groove, Urban Meyer continues his: somehow this man figures out a way to be involved in >50% of SAS (stories about shadiness) in college football. It’s like he loves it. It’s like he IS it. The guy just can’t seem to avoid being caught up in controversy and scum-baggery.
The latest is that Urban is the source of the rumors about Cam Newton’s recruitment.
Of course, Urban denies it:
“Our entire focus right now is on preparing for our biggest game of the year against South Carolina,” Meyer said. “For anyone to think that I or anyone on our staff may have leaked information about private student records to the media doesn’t know us very well. It’s a ridiculous claim and simply not true.”
But, he denies it in absolutely the WRONG way. Urban, for people that DO know you well, this would be 100%, completely EXPECTED? You are 1000% SHADY, dude! How can you not know this at this point?
Side Story: While down at Ole Miss (post still in progress on that) I met a number of folks from Florida that grew up and were still Gator fans (going to Ole Miss isn’t going to change anyone’s allegiance) and spoke to a number of them at length about their program and Urban. Their take on Meyer? Douche. It was pretty much unanimous. “Yeah, the guy won 2 MNCs, but we don’t like him at all. He’s a d-bag.” I was shocked. I thought for sure they’d love him and defend him like DTK does with DickRod. No way. These guys don’t like Urban any more than we (HLS) do, and they’d trade him for Spurrier in less time than it takes Urban to lie to another recruit. When your own program’s fans think you’re shady, despite winning 2 MNCs, man, you are SHAE-D.

Plus, every member of every staff that is worth their recruiting salt is involved with some aspect of recruiting every single day of the week. So for him to say that their entire focus is on South Carolina this week… Ha!
