i give you a like for sticking up for me (i think) but i would be nothing more than a statistic on his radar.

i don't take it personal or anything. i just learned a long time ago where i am in the pecking order/food chain. i serve my purpose well. that's what matters.

How many people do you think will say no to Philip Fulmer?

We need to be sure Gruden is at the top of the list. We need to send 1 email apiece....I sent 2 from dif email accounts.

Thats all I will send.....I sent many tweets to Bev....

Fulmer is no fool. He has connections outside of the twitterverse (and appears to not even have a page) and an email account. He needs nothing more from us than praise and encouragement. Our offensive attack is over. Now is the time to let a man do his job.

Not a problem, I can come off as an a** sometimes. I get very passionate about certain things and apparently have no "off" button.

I've got a warped sense of humor. I'm used to your response, just not your resume to back it up. Just know it is never my intention to glorify the **** I've done. I try to make it seem too horrible to deal with, while noting that I manage to deal with it.

Just trolling.

No way what just happened at UT happens without collateral damage.

Beaver gave us some information. I understood the "done", part meant it was done on one side and the other side would be stupid to reject it.

Looks like they did more than reject it. Lulz.

That is, if you believe Gruden was even contacted. I do. At one point after talking to some friends at the game, you went from 0 to 50 faster than a Lamborghini. I assume you believe it to.

If you took beaver for every little thing he said as gospel, that's on you. I didn't.

I believe there was a plan, it didn't go EXACTLY as planned, but even if we don't get Gruden, I believe we are miles ahead of where we would have been now and more importantly, in the future, if there had been NO plan at all.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Somebody help me.....these are quotes from some bama folks I know and even call friend, but there is no arguing with them, they think they are always right.

"In 92 while Majors was in the hospital, drying out (story at the time was heart attack), Fulmer campaigned for him to be fired so he could take over permanently."

"Fulmer is a snake. Always has been. Even Bill Curry didnt like him and Curry liked everyone. Stallings didnt like him either"

"Um Fulmer and the Haslams are tight. They helped put him in."

"2 Haslams on the BOT. They wanted Fulmer."

Help, I need some good comebacks on this stuff.....I hate Bama and I almost Hate their stinking fans, even my friends who are fans!

They are largely correct.

A family member was pretty involved with the athletic department at that time, and I heard it pretty much blow by blow.

Majors had a heart attack and a CABG. Fulmer was named interim while he recouperated. When he was able to return to coaching, I think they lost games under him, while they'd been winning under Fulmer.

But what got him fired was that he was a notoriously mean drunk, an obnoxious SOB that was hated by nearly everyone who had to work with him. He finally pizzed off enough people in power that after losing those games, they fired him.

I'm not naive enough to think that Fulmer said, No no no, you can't fire him, you can't hire me, but I truly do not believe that he schemed to get rid of him. Sometimes the door of opportunity opens, and you walk through it if you have any sense.
