Did anyone see the picture of the rock on campus that is painted 'Fire Phil'? Is that not atrocious? My brother says he's seen worse like the last time we lost at UCLA a young David Leaverton played a large part in the loss. Multiple shanks, etc. That week the rock read: "Punter Tryouts 4:30"

Yeah that's bad too. Leaverton later in his career, despite the slam, made the touchdown-saving tackle against Peter Warrick & FSU to do his part in helping preserve the national championship.

Fulmer is looking bad and taking some heat. I just know he's a class act and I'm proud of the way he represents the university. It really shouldn't be all about winning, all the time. So we're in a rebuilding mode. Deal with it UT fans & be grateful is what I would say to all the naysayers - of which I have to honestly say that I have been one at times in the past few years.
