Guitar Shots to the Head: You've Been (De)Served

I'm not sure how serious you are with some of these statements Lex. Do you really believe Phil deserves more time to fix the problems?

Also, I in no way expect an immediate turnaround by hiring a new coach so i don't think I will miss or not miss Phil after just one year. I expect 3 years to be a minimum to see the results I want to see for UT football.

Also, if you're going that route, evidently Fulmer deserves to be called Phillip, because that's what he prefers.

Those are just a collection of thoughts. I felt like everyone should be equally represented in the discussion. Some people still feel like he deserves it.

Agree in some degree to most of that, Lex, except about Wall Street. All they DESERVE is a big kick in the oysters.

I should have been more clear on this....I'm not saying that the "deserve" statements are accurate or that I believe any of them. I'm simply trying to give points of view of what different fans are thinking.

Oh I wish I was an old guitar
Sittin' in a beat-up car
Hittin' every two-bit bar
From here to Texas

Then I wouldn't be ashamed
To look up my old friends
And they would be so proud
To see me strung up again

The only thing I would add to your list is that the team, especially the seniors, deserve better, more avid fan support.

Disagree about Wall Street, what we need to do is exercise the option in the original Federal Reserve Act of 1913 to buy it back, (I think the original buyout was set at only $500.000) unless one of the 400+ amendments to that act has mandated that we are relegated forever to slave state status financially, regardless of Socrates conclusion that a benevolent oligarchy is the best form of government because as the generations of men come and the generations of man go, some generations are more and some generations are less benevolent to the lessor citizenry.

Our football team could use some regeneration now that I think about it.

Another nitpick, we could be 4/0 instead of 3/1, we left 14 points on the field and gave up 14 points needlessly in the first half of the Florida game.

Finally, I must compliment your Grand Pappy, he certainly knew his beans when he said that.

Thanks for another excellent article, thanks to Freak for publishing it.

GO VOLS!!

I figured that 4-0 may come up. I don't entirely disagree. Many do feel that the seniors deserve more fan support as well. That was an oversight.

For the record I'm pissed as hell about the whole bailout as it has occured. I just thought it would be funny to throw in there.

I should have written the blog like this...some UT fans think:

Great write up Lex. Love the "Deserve" references. In the end the point is go out and earn it. Agree 100%.

I deserve a payraise and a new truck....both of which won't be happening for a while. Good read Lex.

:eek:lol: My beginning point for the article (in my head of course) was that we are in disarray to some extent with the program. With all of the he said she said going on chaos will be the only result. What we need is a leader to emerge out of all this to break us out of this.

The frustrating thing is that.. even if 2008 should be the year Vol football gets a new start... it will still only be just that. A new Start. There will be so much further still to go...

No need to apologize. I agree 100%. I feel like we are without a leader right now.

For some weird reason Supertramp's "Goodbye Stranger" popped into my head when I read this. I may have read too many of gsvol's posts?

:eek:lol: Those have a way of getting to you. I actually dig most of gs's posts. Though we may disagree on the message, the delivery is always interesting.

Then adjust your focus, that is usually called 'adjusting range.'

As in;

I got heartaches in my pocket,
I got echoes in my head.
And all that I keep hearing,
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said.

or;


He said if youve got money
Ill see that you dont walk

Well I havent got a nickel
Not a penny can I show

Get off, get off you railroad bum
And he slammed that boxcar door

Nice play on words btw, "(de) served."

Does that mean Bama is dropping their suit???
Zuits me if it zuits them and I certainly hope they get what they deserve, no doubt about that.

ive got bruises on my memory
and tear stains on my hands
In the mirror there is a vision
Of what used to be a man....

I think the only thing I can conclude at the end of all that is...I need a drink. Great read though Lex, you couldn't have echoed my feelings any better, I just would have taken three times as many words to get the point across. Well done.
