I don't hate you, per se, I hate the fact that you post stupid things all the time. 90% of your posts aren't grounded in any sort of fact, and you repeat some variation of them ad nauseam in various threads. You also managed to like and respond to yourself which is an impressive feat, but not surprising for someone of your capacity.

Again, answer the question I asked you about an athlete getting denied here for academics and getting signed by another SEC school.

Not all.

21 coaches were recently terminated at 16 had been given extensions.

5 ADs weren't idiots.

Ads are getting their lunch taken by agents buying this crap. Ads need to get much better as they are getting owned by agents.

I am not trolling. The agents are running the show and in our case we are getting screwed bad.

And it's a real problem if both fulmer and Pruitt have the same agent as rumored.

And while you can argue if Fulmer deserved the extension (especially a few months into the Covid mess), not announcing it at the time it was signed raises a lot of questions to me. I can't speak to when (if ever) a UT athletic director received a significant extension that wasn't publicly known for 6 months but it doesn't feel right to me.

Announcing anything while we were all on lockdown and people were flocking to the unemployment line at record rates seems like it would have been received even more poorly at that time. Even if, as this was, a contract with no raise other than a retention bonus that he isn't actually taking.

👆👆This. Admin no longer prioritizes athletics. Never mind the actual evidence at Alabama that shows the quality of student pre-Saban vs. their current quality of student. More applications, higher caliber student and their average GPA and ACT scores have continued to go up.

Academians should realize that a strong athletic program escalates the caliber of student by making your school more desirable and increasing the demand for spots in the incoming classes.

Totally confused as to why they feel these two sides of the university do not compliment each other. It is like two dogs in a pissing contest. Until that gets fixed, there really is no hope.

This has more implications than just rising academic performance. In the most recent entering freshman class at Alabama less than half were from Alabama. That means half of the class is paying out of state tuition. Enrollment has gone up 50% in the last dozen years or so. A few thousand extra bucks here and a few thousand bucks there and pretty soon you’re talking real money

This I can agree with. Maurer is honestly missing poise. The kid is Uber athletic, but that’s what separates Bailey from Maurer at the moment. He is calm and keeps his head regardless of the chaos.

I don’t care how poised Bailey is. If his eyes don’t start showing more desire and his snap count doesn’t get louder, he’ll never be successful here..........It looks even stupider in print and the fact that it came out of a supposed football professionals mouth makes me want to throw something.

Pruitt wants Ron Artest back at quarterback before switching to Meta World Peace.

What 5 schools didn’t extend? Were they schools where having a coach on a rolling 4 year deal would make a difference in recruiting? I’m in no way picking a side in this thing you two have going, but just out of curiosity.

First off, you won't be. Your age and diet means you'll be gone way sooner than I will. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't spell Vols without looking it up. Nobody that can post the astoundingly stupid things you do, can spell Vols without some help. Seriously, name one player that got denied here for academics that went to another SEC school? I'll wait while you vigorously google it, but come up with nothing.

Dude, grow up. No need to get personal on here...EVER. That only means you are conceding the argument on the facts.

If you are worried about stupid posts, you need to get off this site and check up on the criticism you have of our team, coaches and fans.
The articles I posted, if you read them, had great affects on Fulmer and where we are now. Drastically !

Academians are too stupid to figure that out.

The more I read your posts...the more I think they need to ban your sorry ass. You don’t show much intelligence yourself, hot shot.

I’m not disagreeing there but I am arguing that Maurer is more poised than he’s shown so far this year. Hell..... even this year now that I think about it he was plenty poised vs Alabama. The only difference between Alabama and Arkansas was Alabama wasn’t 0 blitzing him.

I honestly would need to do research but the fact is our ad sucks and has for years.

By all accounts phil and Pruitt have the same agent and right off the bat that is a conflict of interest for the school.

The second is thry have done horrible contract and another such as an extremely low buy out for Kiffin. And yes maybe he would have walked but other coaches wanted the job who we tuned away like the TCU cosch.

The fact is we could have easily said with covid we need to wait till middle of the season..

Ut is broke and its nobody's fault but the ad and schools.

But at this point I am done.

The brainwashing that has been done is insane. UT is broke Deerpark!!! And its your school people who ran it into the ground.

Own it!!!
Goodnight.

Okay, that all ended over the summer. It's now November and from what I can gather from the internet, the university never announced it but only confirmed it when asked. However, they did seem quite eager to publicly announce Fulmer took a pay cut. To me, the optics are bad all aroumd.
