Georgia State? Wyoming doesn't count Fulmer was already "dismissed"
I am now convinced, Pruitt was a Bammer plant sent only to completely destroy UT Football and the legacies of several VFL.
If Pruitt was a plant, sent by Bammers to destroy UT, then how could you expect him to win anything?
Dooley and Butch were terrible gameday coaches, so yeah those losses were bad but did anyone really expect them to be good?
Fulmer was ranked preseason #3 in 2005 and the team was loaded. He had major talent in 99, 2001, 2005, and some others. So some of his worst losses were those seasons. Keep in mind he had ENORMOUS EXPECTATIONS during the majority of his tenure, so these first 4 games were huge blackeyes. I took wyoming out for the sake of argument.
IMO, worst ranked losses order:
1. Memphis 96 (with Peyton at the helm nonetheless, never got off the bus)
2. Vandy 2005 (broke the streak, one of Fulmer's most disappointing teams)
3. South Carolina 2005 (another streak buster, they were terrible)
4. Arkansas 1999 (Hogs were 8-4 that year, but we showed up flat and made them look good)
These losses cost us a shot at a huge trophy:
5, 6, 7. Pick a mid 90s Florida Drubbing, we always showed up flat and scared. Win one in 95, 97, maybe 99 (close game, but still) and we are playing for it all, again. Fulmer never was prepared for OBC's game plan....... until Al Wilson and the D willed us to a win in 98, then look what happened.
8. Maryland 2002 Getting killed in the Peach Bowl on NYE (we showed up flat, again, seeing a pattern?)
9. Georgia 2001 (maybe Fulmer's best team, couldn't stop GA all day/ shoulda cost us another chance at a BCS game appearance)
10. LSU 2001 (despite winning the east, beating Florduh in the swamp, looking like a shoe-in for a second BCS title game in 4 seasons, AND knocking Rohan out of the game, we made Matt Mauk look like a Heisman finalist)
