Tennessee Sounds Good To Me

A Press Conference About Football? On a Monday?

Tony Basilio is reporting on air that Phil Fulmer will hold a press conference at 5:00 today at Neyland Stadium to announce he will not be returning as head coach next year. More coming, I’m sure. **UPDATE** This is probably a pretty smart move tax-wise.  With the probably tax rate on his income next year, [...]


Obama Assassination Planners Tennesseans?

The News Sentinel is reporting that a plot to Assassinate Barack Obama and murder over 100 people at a Tennessee high school has been busted up. There aren’t many details yet, only that it was a “murder spree” that was to happen in Tennessee and was being hatched by a couple of neo-Nazi skinheads. H/T [...]


Is Fulmer Gone For Real Now?

Tony Basilio is reporting on the air that University of Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton has requested a meeting with Jimmy Sexton, who is Phil Fulmer’s agent. This apparently signals an official move to end the Phil Fulmer error era at UT. According to Basilio, neither camp is going to confirm this, at least not [...]


Tennessee Football–What I’d Do

Actually, it’s what I’d do in just about any situation. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know much about football at all. I mean, I played for 10 years, but most of the teams I played on weren’t very good, so it’s safe to assume that most of what I learned was wrong [...]


Another Reason Newspapers Aren’t Doing Well

Ron Paul made them do it!  At least that’s the implication. Ross said he is a member of the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party, and that he supported Ron Paul for president. That’s what I call reporting! Let’s find out who O.J. is supporting while we’re at it.


The Phillip Fulmer Show

I didn’t see much of the game yesterday, but I’m sitting here now enjoying Phil Fulmer’s stoicism on his show. It’s amusing. You know, when you use the phrase “Chad had a fantastic second half”, and Chad is your punter, things can’t be too good on offense. Punters on good teams don’t have the opportunity [...]


It’s Halftime. Can Fulmer be Fired Midgame?

I’m admittedly only halfway watching the Tennessee/Florida game, but what I’ve seen is atrocious. It looks like I stopped caring about college football a few years too early. I should have waited until this year to jump off the bandwagon. Every fan deserves at least one season of pure agony, right? I’m not talking about [...]


So Close To Being Smart

I was really interested when I heard that it may have been a University of Tennessee student, David Kernell,  who was clever enough to “hack” into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! mail account. But then there’s this… The hacker guessed that Alaska’s governor had met her husband in high school, and knew the Republican vice presidential candidate’s [...]


Fire Fulmer! Redux

Here that?  That’s the muffled sound of cars running in closed garages all over East Tennessee.  There are big problems in the area.  Well, big problems unless you advertise on sports radio here and want your ad heard in between the “Fire Fulmer” calls.  It seems like I wrote this exact post exactly one year [...]

First of all, a few housekeeping items… Thanks to all of the new readers I’ve picked up in the past couple of days for subscribing. Nothing like a naked chick in a public park to boost readership, huh? And thanks to all of my readers who were with me long before this latest bit of [...]
