"Kiffin's apology to Urban"

CONTEXT ADDED BY ADMIN:
END OF CONTEXT
Dear Urban,



It's the Kiff here. My boss told me that I needed to

apologize for calling you a cheater, so here's the best I can do: You are

welcome.



C'mon. You have to be grateful for the tidal wave of compassion

you've gotten. Not only do you return an insanely talented defense, but you also

bring back the quarterback-cyborg that is Tim Tebow. Add to all that two

National Championships and your prime location in the nation's recruiting

hotbed, and yet you're coming off as the victim in this situation. Crazy

huh?



Have you ever been to Tennessee besides when you play us? It's not

exactly flush with football talent. I'm plowing through scouting reports of Jim

Bobs and Bubbas. Phil didn't exactly leave me with a stocked fridge (and that

metaphor extends both literally and figuratively in case you were

wondering).


So of course I'm going to come out guns blazing. I've got to get

us back on the map. I mean, you saw our QBs. Jonathan Crompton? Really? Peyton

Manning isn't exactly walking through the locker room door.



But admit it.

You like it. You need it. Do you really want to be the guy who tries to throw

down with Mark Richt? That's like wrestling a Tibetan Monk.



Face it,

Urban, I'm the most refreshing thing since the Tim Tebow circumcision story

broke last fall. The Florida Gators and this conference deserve a better class

of antagonistic coaches, and I intend to be that guy.



Be honest: When

Phil was the coach, did you really feel challenged? Did you feel validated as a

coach for beating a guy who was more familiar with a post-game spread than a

spread offense?



I mean, I guess it was nice to beat Grandpa Spurrier now

that he has one foot in the tee box, but please don't tell me that you feel a

sense of accomplishment for beating the ghost of Gators past. You and I both

know that you were one more National Championship away from shoving Charlie Weis

out of South Bend and fleeing the mullet-headed mouth-breathers filling up the

Swamp. With me around, though, you're having second thoughts. Think of the pride

you'll feel in tangling with my dad's proven pro-style defense. Kind of

overshadows feeling good about torching Hawaii and the Citadel's defense

huh?



Sure, you have Nick Saban as a formidable opponent, but he's out

West, and you guys may tangle once a year if all the stars align and everything

goes according to plan. I give you the guarantee of a royal rumble every year

and early on.



I know I come off a little chirpy, but you've got to like

that I'm not so eager to kow-tow to the wave of Olympic-caliber sprinters you're

rolling out. Whether you like it or not, you're the Yankees now. You're the man,

the establishment. Florida is Cobra-Kai now. You're John Kreese, and Timmy T is

Jonny Lawrence. I am Daniel-San, and my dad is Mr. Miyagi.


And you know what,

Urban-Myth? You may try to sweep the leg, but I plan on crane-kicking you and

Timmy right in the face.



But that's not all, Urbie. I'm coming into your

backyard. I'm going after your recruits, and I swear to Pete Carroll that if we

are bombing you by 40 and I have all of my timeouts with less than a minute

left, I will call all three timeouts while Ed Orgeron power-bombs Albert the

Gator and the entire team gets Kiffy with it in the end zone. I have never been

more serious about anything in my life.



Anyways, I've got to run. Got a

study session on SEC rules and regulations. Nu'Keese and Marsalis send their

best.



Subversively yours,



The Kiff
