That's ok, I understand. Florida is the better team but the conditions are pretty bad out there. We'll see.

Oh, what a pity party the Fulmerites are having for 'The Warden' in Knoxville today. They must have released all the players from the jails today to boo hoo with them. The media is front stage trying to build Foolmer up to something that he is not. They can look to the past all they want but Phil went out being a program destroyer and a loser - and a sore one at that.

It is the end of an era. I will miss Coach Fulmer. I am looking forward to the new coaching regime, but if Kiffin golf claps just once......I will be watching.

I'm no fan of Fulmer, been mocking him for the better part of about five years on here. But I think it would undeniably be good for the program if his departure was as upbeat as possible.

For most of his career, the guy was nothing but an incredible servant for Tennessee. Quality player. Quality assistant. Quality coach.

The end comes for him for the same reason it came for the likes of Danny Ford, Pat Dye, and Barry Switzer: an inability to adjust to the changing conditions of the game.

But that doesn't take away what he did for us as a program. His decision to make us a more physical football team after the 1998 Orange Bowl debacle brought us a National Championship the next year. For that alone, he walks with legends in Knoxville.

It was time for him to go. But I think this day should be a day to express gratitude to a guy who played a major role in getting this program turned around after the early 80s and in building it up to national power status after the early 90s.

Is he a shadow of what he used to be? Yes. But this day isn't to celebrate the shadow.
It is to celebrate what he did for us when he was at the top of his game as an assistant and as a head coach.

Are you watching the Gator game? Loved the Tebow TD scrum a while ago.

Yeah, that was vintage Tebow. He is a unique QB in that he seems to relish the running. When he leaves UF, going to be some tough shoes to fill.

A perfect quarterback for a quagmire.

My wife and in-laws are at that game right now. Makes it easier to put up with the rain when you're winning.

I guess that Maryland win wasn't the season-changing event FSU thought it would be.

:eek:lol:

LOL, yeah, well, notwithstanding the other SEC/ACC results of today, you can't put too much stock in beating Maryland, pretty much ever.
