Fulmer exonerated?

Don't know how true, but I heard Spurrier was more involved in bringing down Bama than Fulmer was.

Lloyd Carr, ect..., the list was long with the people who brought down Bama

It's kinda sad really because there used to be such a high respect between the schools and the fans...I always respected Alabama and what they have accomplished and how they always put the SEC in the spotlight back in the day....Plus listening to Bear Bryant praise Robert Neyland like he did made it that much more exciting to see the teams play each other...The Means case really screwed up what I always consider THE rivalry in the SEC....Maybe added some heat to it but that's about it.

Still, Wilson said the penalties imposed against UA by the NCAA — a two-year bowl ban, 21 lost scholarships and five years’ probation — forced the athletics department to correct its course and become the respected model of NCAA compliance it is today.
“As a result of that investigation,” said Wilson, a UA grad and lifelong Tuscaloosa County native, “we have a cleaned house ... and have crossed over the River Jordan and we are now living in the Promised Land.”

Spit my coffee out laughing.

have Steve Wilson on his show because he mocked and crucified him as well as Fulmer during this trial. He glorified Tommy Gallion the blood-sucking attorney who tried to promote this 'grand conspiracy'.

Several other coaches told Bama to cut it out, but Fulmer will always be considered as the "Deep Throat" in this case. He participated in too many closed door meetings that became public.

Do they still have that warrant out in Alabama for Fulmer? Can we get one in Tennessee? Oh, sorry, we don't want to keep one but guess we'll have to until some unwitting school hires him; guess Minnesota found out about him so a lost opportunity there.

The stupidiest part of it was Alabama was actually cheating. Whether UT, Fulmer, Arkansas, Nutt, or some guy on a grassy knoll turned them in was irrelevant to a charge of slander or consipracy.

If Alabama hadn't been cheating under Duboise, this would have never come up. Yet a large portion of that fanbase still acts like Fulmer is the reason they were on probation, not their own programs actions.

It would be like us blaming the phone company for Pearl making too many calls to recruits and initially hiding it.

Two things, one is opinions have been formed and stories like this will not change them. For the Bama fans at least. And two, this is not new information.

Bama's tactics are what brought Bama down. They still want to blame everyone else but they were responsible for their own undoings at the time...and subsequently.

Meeting with Tom Culpepper at the Shoney's breakfast buffet to discuss turning Alabama in to the 'AA didn't turn out to be the most astute move ever.

Alabama=Embarrassed by being caught cheating.
Tommy Gallion=Exposed as a shyster and a clown.
Phil Fulmer=Done in by snitch karma, sitting around a TV studio with a "Will Coach for Food" sign.

Looks like three for three on excellent outcomes to me.
