I'm speaking for the fans here. College football is big business for UT and all the other schools in the SEC. As a fan, I pay a premium to come sit in the stands and watch a game. This past Saturday, I was ripped off. It's plain and simple, fans pay the money, we deserve a decent product. Not what we saw Saturday. We have a right to expect the Tennessee Volunteers to perform. If you plan to have a sub-par product, then lower the prices. Don't put lipstick on a pig!!

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.
