i did not know that part...........

He was. I believe Fulmer was able to get the league to never assign him to a UT game again.

They could cut the tickets prices by nearly 70% and still be within the actual +$2.2m profit that they report. They do a lot of stuff to make it seem like they are operating at near even expense/profit margin, but in reality they are likely fudging the numbers by $30-$60m/yr. So these constant price increases are bad and trying to justify them is too.

Here is where they are likely fudging up the #s:

Based on what?

Comparing going to a college football game to buying a Ferrari I love this website

I don’t know if Hooker is going to make it as an NFL quarterback in the long run. I do feel certain, though, that it could be a blessing in disguise for him to get released by the Lions and land an opportunity with another organization. It’s not working for him in Detroit.

Milton might last longer, and only cause he landed in a better situation cause he ain’t the better QB.

Ironic.

 

[Glitch]

That’s 4 words

And Matthews went on to become a referee. He is the ref that called Florida’s WR Gaffney dropped pass in the end zone a TD and allowed Florida to beat us. No reviews back then. Matthews bitter about always losing to Vols, but he got his revenge

I can’t believe after all these years I never knew this.

 

[WesTnVol]

Some of that is unbelievable !!
7th and 8th year players!!
4th and 5th team!!
24-25 years old
Think about it this way, we have a few freshmen on the team that were in the 4th or 5th grade when some of these guys started playing college football

 

[Brillovol]

I love seeing all these old videos where fans are on the field and celebrating with the athletes and those same people are now saying "back in my day we ain't done that crap"

Yeah the pearl clutching from media pricks and ADs who push the “no fans” agenda need to know history. But that’s not what they’re interested in.

 

[Brillovol]

At the end of the year we will definitely have a better class after they go 7-5, fire Billy, and their class falls apart.

I hope they perpetually go 7-5/7-6 and lose to us Kentucky-style every year. Just enough to keep Sunbelt Billy around and in purgatory.

 

[SergeantVol]

Mob of angry old men? So you, @InVOLuntary , @BaldBiker, @SergeantVol .... Anyone else?

Get off my lawn!!!

Me too.

Shows how bad Birmingham sucks. They knew he stole the game. And they didn’t fire him.

Kentucky may never beat us again now that they're basically giving up on funding the football team

0-4 so far against Heupel and our programs are heading in completely opposite directions

Where is @BaldBiker these days? He doesnt even show when type in his name.

@sargevol can you move this to OT thread?

So you are suggesting violating standard account principals…. Interesting approach.

So you are suggesting violating standard account principals…. Interesting approach.

You can make numbers look a certain way while adhering to GAAP. Reinvesting profits and depreciating certain ways can vastly skew the final numbers. And they can always reallocate profits to the university where they can offset losses there and disappear.

I don't want to grow up I want to be a toys r us kid

In life, growing old is mandatory and growing up is optional

I took the optional route, and it suits me just fine

 

[Batman1948]

I think each sport operates on tight margins.

Baseball, Basketball, and Football may be, MAY be the ONLY sports making money.

It's always been like that

 

[vol9799]

How many were at this game........butts clinched?????

I was..........

And this is why Allama Matthews should have never been allowed back inside Neyland as an official. Anyone that thinks he wasn't biased in making that '00 phantom Gaffney TD call is delusional. And the fact that the SEC office defended him instead of firing him and issuing a public apology was proof they were complicit in covering up both the incompetence and bias in their crews. Just seeing that clown's name makes my blood boil.

Ooops, posted this before I read Ace's post. But since Ace didn't properly disparage Matthews and SEC officiating, I'll just edit this instead of deleting it.
