By the way, Randy Sanders still sucks, and folks who think he would like to "stick it to Fulmer" forget that if not for Fulmer, Sanders would be working at Sears selling Lady Kenmores like Larry from Bull Durham.

rooting for UT vs. rooting against Fulmer |
Lead | ||
|
...I don't care what other folks do today; it's everyone's prerogative to root for, or how, ever one wishes. But for me, now that the deed is
done, all the whining in the world from Fulmer won't make me hope for a UK win today. I want UT to win because 1) I'm a UT fan first and foremost,
regardless of my feelings earlier this season that it was for the best that UT lost -- and history has pointed out that it was indeed the correct thing to
happen if you pull for UT; and 2) a UK win doesn't do anything good for the program, and to me my love for UT is bigger than my dislike for Fulmer. The
Wyoming loss was the final screw you to Fulmer IMO. He is leaving with at least 7 losses, and at most 5 wins; that speaks volumes to me. Another loss
doesn't do anyone any good related to UT. Good riddance Coach, but win this last one and try to out with your head high, which means out of your ass.
Just my opinion.

Can't and won't cheer for a win | #1 | ||

I have said this over and over but all he had to do was shut up and I would have been back on board. I hope Foster breaks the record but I hope we don't
score and I want Kentucky to kick the shit out of us. There can be no doubt in the minds of people that his firing was needed and if he wins he will no doubt
pull some bullshit that he could still get it done.
Ulmer. Get the F out!

Yes, but it doesn't matter now! He's gone! | #2 | ||

...as I said, and I can understand how you feel, the deed is done and my love for UT is greater than my dislike for Fulmer. I just don't see how hatred
for Fulmer, who is gone no matter what happens today, can trump love for UT. Nothing good comes out of a loss today. Fulmer has his tail tucked regardless.
Wyoming, Wyoming, Wyoming.
Again, JMO, and I respect everyone else's opinions here. It's why I like this board. |

I hear you Egbert but think this way | #5 | ||

This might sound stupid but I think a win today would divide the fanbase even more but if we lose maybe just maybe the Philbillies would say you know what
damn he did suck.

I would like for UT players to have individual good games, with some exceptions. I'd like to see Arien take the record away from Henry.
I'd like to see some inspired tackles, a few well executed draw plays, you know, that kind of thing. A couple of long passes that depend on both the accuracy of the QB and the receivers giving his all, as well. The bottom line....can go to Kentucky. I don't want our players to loose what spark they have. I want them to have something to take into 2009 beyond stbFHCPF's manning up to his enforced removal from the program. |

Oh, I understand how you feel, believe me...but as far as the fanbase... | #7 | ||
|
...I think it's a moot point. One game against the Mildcats won't change anything IMO. Those who think he should have another chance will feel that
way regardless of what happens today. Those who know Hambone did the right thing by getting rid of him -- Kiffin notwithstanding -- won't feel any
differently regardless of what happens today.
One thing we can all bank on -- by about 9:00 central time, I doubt anybody who is a UT fan will EVER root against them again! Unless, of course, we need to purge another coach... |

You can't back out the Fulmer coached games.
I hope we win by 45. |

Fulmers fired, time to start rooting for the Vols | #10 | ||
|
instead of against Fulmer. The new coach has to equal 5-7, I think that can be done, I don't think we need to make the new coaches goal 4-8. I do admitt
that it's extremely nausiating rooting for this regime. But as some people said it's not the University of Fulmer it's the University of TN. I
can't wait until next year.

Eggy, I understand where you're coming from Bro......however, | #11 | ||

I guess I have too much negative emotion built up for Fulmer to reverse my position while he's still
coach. I want the blackest of records for him, I dont want him to go out with a win, and I want this team to remember what its like to be the biggest losers in the history of UT football when the new staff arrives in town to straighten their ass out! Its just one more game, then I can go back to being a fan....Go KY Jelly! Bruce Pearl is a Fuck You coach, Pat Summit is a Fuck You coach, UT is a Fuck You school, why shouldn't we have a Fuck You football coach? Phil Fulmer is a Fuck Me coach. (cue the Unicorn) G |

We don't want Ohio State to have that record, do we? I hope we kick the crap out of Kentucky. I hope Arian gets the record. This is not about Fulmer; it
is now about Tennessee football-what it should have been about all along. Fulmer is gone; I can now wear orange again.

of consecutive wins over an opponent and being one of only two programs which has never lost eight games in a season. I was going to be happy with the losses
this season only if it led to the ouster of FAILMER. Hamilton stepped up and did what had to be done.
I just hate the idea of losing to KY Jelly. Let get the W and get Failmer out the door as quickly as possible. |

Isn't rooting against Fulmer putting him above the program? | #17 | ||

He's gone. I want UT to win. I want the streak to stay alive. I don't want Sanders to beat us. Or Cobb.
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic. U can't touch this.

I'd rather have us closer to .500, could help recruiting and help the energy. | #20 | ||

Even with coaching incompetence we were close to 8-4 (Auburn, UCLA, Wyoming). Let Lane take that on the road, plus helps the optimism for next year. Could really care less on Phil.
