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 […]
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 […]
Well went a stellar 4-0 hitting both my 2 unit plays which runs my post Hurricane Ike record to 6-3 up 3.6 units. Let’s keep this thing rolling into week 9. On to the bets.
Oregon -3 at Arizona State. 1 unit. This game is all about the matchups and when you […]
When Texas went to Fayetteville in October of 1965, the Horns were riding high on the hog. Texas was #1 in one poll - #2 in the other. From the start of the 1961 season until that Saturday, Texas was 44-3-1. They had taken up permanent residence in the Top 5, with one National Championship […]
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.
Chris Low, who lived in Nashville long enough to […]
The fat man fell to Florida once again on Saturday and the Volunteer faithful are not happy. After last year’s blowout in Gainesville, the Vols had a lot to prove on Saturday in Knoxville. What they proved is that the Tennessee Volunteers are a program in decline.
Everyone pile on…..now!
We begin with […]
The Vince Young Saga has turned into a Soap Opera in Nashville, but for Texas, it is still a box office winner. 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 […]
And why shouldn’t they? Their rep as the best conference in the country lets them schedule non-conference games at home against cupcakes while using how they chew each other up in conference play as the main reason for keeping their position as the best conference in the BCS. They sure don’t stray too far from […]
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 […]
This post was prompted by the good discussion taking place on Scipio Tex’s Oklahoma Preview. The conversation starter was the fact that my ratings had 1971 as Oklahoma’s best team despite their loss to Nebraska. While you can read the rest of the discussion there, the short answer is that the 1971 season […]
Phillip has had quite a week.
Seriously.
University of Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe is expected to accept the head coaching position at Duke.
Major Applewhite is the greatest offensive coordinator ever, and people are starting to notice.
Applewhite was instrumental in Alabama’s blowout win over Tennessee last Saturday. And by ‘instrumental’ I mean the sole reason. Stupid jerk Nick Saban didn’t do anything. Quarterback John Parker Wilson (or is it John Wilson Parker? Parker John Wilson?) tied a […]
So far, so mediocre. We’re pimping a pedestrian 5-5 thus far on posted plays but still up 2 units by going 2 and 0 on the Big 12 game of the week 2 unit plays. Still, not what we’re used to. A wise man once said,”Girls are sadistic, materialistic, looking for a […]
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. […]
University of Tennessee that is.
After getting rolled by Cal last Friday, Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer has replaced two senior starters on his defense.
DT J.T. Mapu gets replaced by sophomore Dan Williams, and strong safety Jarrod Parrish lost his starting role to freshman Eric Berry.
“I want everybody to understand that the guys that played the best […]
