This is really random but I put together something very ironic that I was surprised wasn't talked about more. When vonn bell was being recruited, the battle came down to OSU, Tennessee, and alabama. Bell was also being recruited by Franklin at Vandy, who is obviously a rival of Tennessee. I remember reading after signing day that Franklin had realized Vandy had no chance to land bell, so he told vonn how great of a coach Meyer was in order to keep him out of the SEC so he wouldn't have to play against him. Of course, Franklin couldn't avoid it in the end and had to face vonn this year.... In a game in which bell made that controversial interception. It could be debated that if he didn't make that play, OSU would have lost and Franklin would have gotten PSUs best win in 5 years. Funny how things work out, isn't it?
