We had no problem putting Fulmer on a pedestal . He was as dirty and cutthroat as they come.
I guess “we” is The University of Tennessee and the City of Knoxville since the address to Neyland Stadium is 1235 Phillip Fulmer Way Knoxville, TN 37916.1.I’m not sure who “we“ is, but I never put him on a pedestal.
2. show your work.
Both Florida and Auburn have no shot next year to be back. Both teams lose key guys and not the help coming in for them. Florida has swung and missed in portal.I’m glad FU beat Barn. Broome and the other punks go down. So does Steven F’n Pearl. But the biggest reason is so Barn isn’t in their first ever final.
You totally burned me. However, he was referring to fans, if you look at the context of the posts. I am a fan who never put Fulmer on a pedestal. The conversation wasn’t about the city or the admin living or hating coaches, it was fans. You tried, though.I guess “we” is The University of Tennessee and the City of Knoxville since the address to Neyland Stadium is 1235 Phillip Fulmer Way Knoxville, TN 37916.

Let what go? What the hell are you talking about? I rarely discuss Pearl. I’m not one who wants him back here. I think he’s a fine coach, but I like who we have. I just don’t think he’s a good dude. Because he isn’t. He’s slimy. That doesn’t mean I spend much time worrying about it. He’s not our coach anymore and never will be.It's been almost 14 years, dude.
Gotta let it go. Pearl's an alright dude.
The guy has been very complimentary of Tennessee in those 14 years, too.
Its the same thing Mafia bosses to politicians do, you hand out pizza to the poor folks you give to the local charities and all goodwill and smile for the camera while you hand over the checks and they think you are wonderful. Rational ppl think well he did this and that but he does try to help the misfortunate. Then they go behind the curtains and orchestrate their plan. It is an old life game plan it works for a lot with a few hiccups here and there.Pearl simultaneously emits good things and bad things. His actions have not historically lined up with his words. He is passionate in what he believes, but if your role model is ‘an alright dude,” that’s a pretty bad choice for a role model.
Is it possible you are mistaking the dislike shown on this forum of some posters fawning over a fired ex coach for folks actually hating the ex coach?All this Peal hate I don't get now that the guy is long gone from here and you cheered for him while here. Reminds of the AL FB fans down here who still hate rival college players who beat them during their college careers and they still wish them bad things in their NFL careers and life after. I guess for some its just hate for life. Don't get that, sorry.

Yes and the investigation stuff not going away. May not be title 9 but the victims have lawyers.Condon was getting first round NBA draft pick hype but he's been playing so awful lately the beat reporters are indicating he is most likely returning. Haugh was thought to be returning but he's been playing himself into a draft pick. Still as of now he's expected to return. Clayton cannot be replaced. Aberdeen has played well enough this year as the primary backup PG. He'll start next year. They will need a SG from the portal which may be tough due to to portal situation.

So what's the difference. Both are still related to hating Pearl. I'm not championing Pearl here at all just saying I don't understand the continued hate. Some AL fans down here still hate Tebow because he beat them once in the SEC CG. Really.
