FULMER:
"I'm proud of our 16 years that we've been able to do it. I don't know how many guys are going to do it that long, you know, in the future because of the incredible amount of scrutiny and pressures and those kind of things. But the fact that we've done it right, which I hope continues in this league, you know, that those standards are set to follow the rules and do things right, that APR wise we've done it right. That's the good things that's happening in college football."

"COACH FULMER:
...Our team has worked really hard during the course of the off season. Starting back in January, we had a couple of issues, off the field distractions that weren't very pleasant for us to deal with. And to our team's credit, to our coaches' credit, particularly to our seniors' credit, we haven't had anything that's come up really since February. I like that. I think that says something about our focus and our attitude, about what this team could and hopefully will be about.
We're certainly in a process right now with our football team growing, new offensive coordinator that I'm really excited about, new quarterback, in the same year, is a challenge, defensively, of getting back and playing at the level that we expect to play as we did against some teams last year, Arkansas, for an example; Georgia, in the championship game against LSU, to play at that level consistently is certainly a challenge.
The growth of our team from a leadership standpoint, I have made a list. There's about 11 or 12 guys on the offensive and defensive [sic] side that look like they can be outstanding leaders for us.
Then at the bottom of it, the question mark is, Will they do it? That's the big question as we go into the fall.
...
So not without our challenges as we go into this football season. I am excited about the fact that you're always looking for ways to motivate your football team any way that you can. I appreciate y'all's help picking us third or fourth in the East. Has served us pretty well at different times. We'll certainly use that.
I think we're probably at the best time in my 16 years as a head coach in this conference with incredible coaches that are in this league. You just look in our division, Vanderbilt played everybody tough and to the end. Had some big wins.
Georgia finishing second in the country. South Carolina in November was sixth in the country. Florida had a great football team and the best player in the country in Tim Tebow, and a couple of guys around him that are really special.
I guess we just happen to be playing in the best division, in the best conference in the entire country. So always a challenge. That's just the Eastern Division. LSU wins the National Championship on the other side...
Every year, even after 16 years, this time of year, last few days of vacation, you're thinking and writing notes down, everything you see wherever you are reminds you of something. You're getting ready to play. My wife usually says, It's time for you to go back to work because we're not paying enough attention to her.
I'm excited about this team and about getting back to work and seeing where we can go with this team. I'd a lot rather be playing for the SEC Championship in December than to be picked first in July in Birmingham. So we'll see if we can make that happen.
Questions."

It just makes me sick to have another distraction like this, regardless of if Fulmer is at fault, or if it wasn't UA bringing the suit.
I just wanted to be able to focus on football, and actually hear something good about our vols at media days.
instead we get this regurgitated tripe!

Alabama, Miss ST, Northern Miss, I think others.

TommyJack...get over it man. We are taking issue with the fact that not a single word about TN was uttered in the preceding article. As some on here have noted, the article was an opinion piece. Well, you've never been reluctant to voice your opinion. And others are just doing the same.
Take your double standard elsewhere, or simply put up with it like we put up with you.
