Hasn't had a big road win in awhile huh? How about hanging half a hundred plus 1 on Georgia's almighty defense last year?

Every SEC win is imperative. Not rocket science.

Fans have short memories. How about 2 for 3 in the swamp?

By 1 point would be badly enough for me.

Exactly

I don't think the 15-12 (past 27 games) mark will be as glaring as his win % against Urban Meyer. If we win, his record will be 16-11 over the past 27 games, and most people won't say, "Atleast he's not 15-12."

Fulmer has won 80 percent of his games at Tennessee but the Vols haven’t had a huge upset road win in a while. The only way to calm down the critics is to go on the road and win a game that most folks think you’re not going to win. I’m talking about a signature win like 2001 at Florida or 2003 at Miami. Fulmer could use one of those. If Tennessee loses in The Swamp the stat you’ll see the most next week: Tennessee will be 15-12 in its last 27 games.

It makes you wonder about how much Tony Barnhardt actually follows Tennessee (or Georgia, for that matter) football.

Big upset road wins are about the only thing Fulmer's had going for him recently.

2004 - We went to Georgia and stunned them a week after they blew out LSU and we had lost to Auburn.
2005 - Beat LSU on a Monday Night, first home game since hurricane Katrina
2006 - Blowout of UGA's defense like justingroves already mentioned.

What Fulmer really needs to do is start winning the big home games.

AJC Columnist Jeff Schultz also wrote that GA would go 12-1 this year (losing only to FL) and go to a BCS Bowl.

We have the worst journalist in Atlanta. :banghead2:

Don't forget...

2003 MIAMI

Bigger problem this decade...

4-14 versus SEC teams finising above .500

14-20 versus ranked opponents

How about his overall record against Florida?

How about his overall record?

How about his overall record?

His overall record is probably not that different than Lloyd Carr's. I guess that means that Carr should keep is job, as well.

That statement doesn't deserve a response. oops.

exactly. those were the 1st three games that came to mind. and people wonder why he is no longer employed by ESPN.

I think it's almost imperative for Fulmer to beat FLA.
