I'm going to jump in here as the resident grammarian in the group to say
that Bill is absolutely correct.  It's about the same thing as saying, "I
could care more, too."

"I could care less" means that you DO CARE at least a little.  One usually
means to say that they do not care AT ALL hence "I could NOT care less."

Bill,

 

Out of curiosity, as I'm knee-deep in work and don't have the time to look
it up myself, please enlighten me as to what "I could care less" actually
means.  I'm a product of the fine TN school system <deep sarcasm here> as
well, and I have to admit I've used it all my life to mean that I don't care
what you do or what you say, etc.  

 

Thanks,


SHANE

 

GO GATORS!!!!!

What bothers me about the situation with Richardson is NOT that he switched
to UT, but HOW he did it.  Kiffin specifically told Richardson to NOT let on
to Urban that he had decomitted until it was too late for Urban to do
anything about it.  That's classless, but I can't say that the Gators
haven't done anything similar, I don't know.

 

And I hope that the fine educational institution of UT will at least teach
Mr... Richardson that "I could care less" does not mean what he apparently
thinks it means.  (It's one of my pet peeves - I've even heard Coach Meyer
use that prhase before).

Tennessee Vols wide out Nu'Keese Richardson reflects on spurning Florida
Gators


By Jeremy Fowler SENTINEL STAFF WRITER 

September 17, 2009

Tennessee wide receiver Nu'Keese Richardsonwonders what all the fuss is
about. 

A guy is allowed to change his mind. 

But the player in the middle of the Lane Kiffin-Urban Meyer
<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/football/urban-meyer-PESPT00853
5.topic>  mess says he received unnecessary treatment from Florida fans
after backing out of his year-long oral commitment to UF..

Richardson might catch heat in The Swamp for Saturday's 3:30 rival game
after a last-second switch to Tennessee on national signing day in February.


"They took it overboard," Richardson told the Sentinel from Knoxville. "It
was my decision." 

A day after signing day, Kiffin said at a Knoxville speaking engagement that
Meyer violated NCAA
<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/national-collegiate-athletic-as
sociation-OREDU0000001.topic>  rules by calling Richardson while on an
official visit to Tennessee. Meyer was allowed to call and Kiffin apologized
amid a Southeastern Conference reprimand. 

Message boards and Facebook
<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/arts-culture/internet/facebook-ORCRP00
6023.topic>  accounts lit up with insults for Richardson, who said he heard
from fans that "[Florida safety] Major Wright is going to kill me." Wright
is known for his big hits. 

Despite the chatter from Florida (2-0), the 5-10 freshman said he will walk
into The Swamp unfazed and relishing in his role as public enemy. 

"I could care less what they do," said Richardson, a former Pahokee High
School star. "I can feed off [the crowd]. I love it. I don't like it when
people give me props. I like to be the underdog." 

Richardson reneged on Florida because of playing time and how much he
enjoyed his visit to Tennessee (1-1) that he took at the request of his
aunt. 

Even five-star friends such as Florida receiver Deonte Thompson had to wait
2-3 years to become a starter at UF. Richardson went to the same high school
as UF starting cornerback Janoris Jenkins. 

Tennessee provided instant access to the field, and so far he's capitalized
with three receptions for 30 yards, five punt returns for 36 yards and one
rush for 8 yards. The Vols are coming off a 19-15 loss to UCLA. 

The move to Knoxville disappointed Gators
<http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/football/florida-gators-ORSPT00
0172.topic>  coaches. Richardson said UF wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales
checked up on him almost every day for a year while keeping up with his
grades. 

Meyer said it's nothing personal. 

"That's the cost of business," he said. "We've had that on the other end. We
understand that." 

Richardson said he hasn't talked to the UF coaches since he switched
schools. While many of Richardson's friends stayed in state, Richardson said
he wanted to "try something new." 

Then how's this for a Tennessee welcoming: The Vols are a 28-point underdog
against the country's No. 1 team that happens to be hungry for vengeance. UF
players have been fuming for months after seeing signs of Kiffin's quotes
plastered in the football offices. 

Kiffin said in December that he would enjoy "singing 'Rocky Top' all night
long" after beating Florida.. 

"Going into the Swamp, it's going to be a rowdy crowd," Richardson said.
"I'll be anxious to get on the field. I basically want to make a big play
... They deserve to have their respect. The only thing we can do and go in
and show the world what we're about."
