Eight years ago it would have been hard to imagine where we are now. Especially if we knew Spurrier was leaving and we would continue to recruit well. Its been a real letdown... a slow and painful decent from the national elite.

The 90s did spoil us a bit, but Tennessee is historically a top 10 program. Given that, I don't think that expecting 10 wins, BCS appearances, and SEC championships every several years is unreasonable.

That rubs salt in my wounds worse than anything. The door was wide open.

But I would much rather have Phil winning 8 or 9 games than go through what Nebraska did when they first got rid of Osborne...

Nebraska didn't get rid of him, he resigned/retired. Big difference between voluntarily leaving on your own terms and being forced out.

If we win tomorrow, I predict that Fulmer will get at least a one year contract extension.
