Surprise for Phil on Sat?

A friend of mine who is in the Pride was telling me they are doing a really cool halftime show, which includes Eric Berry for Heisman references. Not kidding. I will be in D3 to see it all.

No. Phil already has a street named after him. And as great as he has been as a coach, he was still not Robert Reese Neyland.

Plus, it still sounds like he wants to coach. What if he lands another job in the SEC? (Don't laugh, if OM loses Nutt or Vandy loses Johnson, either one would gladly take him.) Would we really want Fulmer coming into a stadium named in his honor, with an opposing team? If he did that and beat UT in his "own" stadium, it would be the biggest embarrassment in the program's history.

I was under the assumpition that Tennessee had a better class of Fans then some of the individuals that have posted here. I guess you have that kind of a fan base for all the teams in College sports and elsewhere. I would not hesitate to say that these fans are probablly not "true" fans or they don't sink their heart into it week after week.

VolfanBill said it well: "Classless!"

You can't account all Tennessee fans, just because we have a few dumbass's that have to harp on the team all the time and are never happy in life.....Every football team has a few of those fans.

I agree and that is why I included "some" in my statement. You have to wonder how they can go through life being so negative.:no:

Aren't you the dude who started the face with a screen name thread and posted yourself with some chick you claimed to be your wife and then we called you out on it for being some girl on the radio?

Field will be named Phillip Fulmer Field

NOOOOOOO. Vince Dooley got the Athletic Center named after him, despite a lot of pressure from fans to put his name on the stadium or field. Comparable situation here, except UGA waited for a long while before doing any honorary naming of facilities. We should wait for a few years before considering anything.

Jokes aside, no one would question that Phil Fulmer has given the bulk of his adult life to UT football. He is as "Go Orange" as they come. Sadly, the last of a dying breed. He has taken UT football to the pinnacle of success. He is a first-ballot CFHOF coach. He deserves a send-off, and recognition, far beyond what he will get on Saturday.

IMO, he peaked in 1998. I don't fault him for staying on, but after the 2005 season, he should have taken a very hard look at where UT football was, and whether he was the right man to lead it back to where it belongs. I also don't fault him for sticking it out...looking for "one more great season". Who among us wouldn't want to go out on top, and on our terms? Sadly, it just didn't work out, and in the end, Fulmer's loyalty to an underachieving staff, and perhaps his ego, were his undoing. Again, I can't fault him for that...but...it was his path, and he chose it. He leaves UT as a wealthy man, who won't ever have to worry about his mortgage payment, or his lifetime financial security. Who among us can say that?

Will I miss him? Yes. Will I miss his coaching? No.

Go Vols.

Majors will be laughing all through the game and having a few extra Jack Daniels to celebrate....Fuljmer deserves not much. He will run through the T with his family or that is what he said on Tuesday....He is getting money the University could have used for other things and making like he is so dedicated to Tennessee....all the way to the bank.

Fulmer got his surprise today. Kudos to Hamilton and Co. for putting the brakes on the Fulmer Family Snot Slinging and Boo Hooing Tour.

Yeah, but now he doesn't get all the air time for he and his relatives to cry, lie, and whine til Saturday. Nice parting gift by Hamilton. I like the guy better every day that passes.
