The internet is full of get-rich schemes. They require completion of complicated steps, and along the way, you’re sure to wittingly or unwittingly (but never Jason Wittenly– more on him later) divulge most to all of your private identificatory material and click on a few virus downloads in a process that never quite leads to that free ipad, college tuition, or $10,000 prize.

(It also probably would result in the firing of yet another SEC coach predicated on a loss to Vanderbilt.) A good thing for a program that really looks like it’s on a legitimate upward climb even within one of the deepest conference divisions in the country.
