Barking Carnival

One will sing the National Anthem at the Las Vegas Bowl. The other two are rumored to be in the mix for the Iowa State job.
I’ll let you decide which is which.

That’s what ESPN is reporting. Lane Kiffin, who was 5-15 in a year and a half as the head man at the train wreck known as the Oakland Raiders, is slated to take Phil Fulmer’s place at Tennessee. Kiffin, who is just a year older than Peyton Manning, supposedly will be announced as the Vols […]

North Carolina football coach Butch Davis was at the top of most Tennessee fans wish list to replace Phil Fulmer. But Davis apparently is telling Tennessee thanks, but no thanks.
The Volunteers are 3-7 this year with two games left, at Vandy and Kentucky at home. Tennessee has never lost 8 games in a season. They […]

Err….I mean resigns.
Let the speculation begin.

Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart, said he thinks Fullmer is done at Tennessee.
It’s hard to see Fulmer returning as Tennessee’s coach: Phillip Fulmer is an old offensive lineman which means he will work and fight until the last game is over. But what I saw Saturday night in Knoxville was a sense of resignation that […]

Just a few things I found interesting in my daily perusal of these here interwebs.
For openers, the heat just keeps turning up in Knoxville.
Secondly, we are reminded of the classiness of South Carolina fans.
In actual football related news, Matthew Stafford has thrown 108 passes without a pick.

When Young led Texas to the National Title in 2005, he also took the Horns to the top of the list for collegiate merchandise sales. According to the Collegiate Licensing Company, Texas once […]

Well, not really new. They’ve always been the same coach. Recruit well yet still consistently lose to biggest rival. Continually make boneheaded coaching decisions yet somehow win a national championship.
Fulmer went and laid another egg on the West Coast last night. The myth that Fulmer is an elite coach (if it still exists at […]

For 2 quarters, former SEC heavyweight champion Tennessee and Coach Phil Fulmer asserted a ground and pound strategy that lent itself to a decisive lead on the judges’ scorecard against upstart UCLA and Coach Rick Neuheisel.  However, like a seasoned Brazilian jiu-jitsu veteran, Neuheisel kept the match within reach and at the last moment, sunk a triangle […]

Phillip has had quite a week.

Tennessee at Florida
Remember when Phil Fulmer was thought to be a great head coach? He went 45-5 from ‘95-’98 and won a national championship. Rocky Top! He then proceeded to lose 30 games over the next 8 seasons and never won a conference title. His fall from the mountain top made Hank Williams Jr wince. […]
