Some of these fan's comments are priceless!!!
"Why are people so upset? This is a typical Fulmer team that is embarrassing at times. If we really wanted a superior team we would offer Jeremy Foley an offer he could not refuse to become our athletic director. He hates mediocrity."
"The present was covered in opaque, shiny foil wrap with a giant orange bow on it. The card read, “TO: Vol Fans, FROM: Coaches Fulmer and Clawson, P.S. Don’t open until September 1st.” We were drawn to the gift. When we picked it up and shook it, it made a glorious noise, but it didn’t offer any clue as to what was inside. Surely, it was something wonderful. Something worthy of a nickname. Fresh. New. Exciting.
It was pants. Another pair of pants. Same thing we got last year!"
"You know a change needs to be made. Any objective observer can see that. But you also know that one won't be made. So continuing to care is like trying to run through a brick wall. It's just unneccesary pain.
Fulmer will remain on board, he'll keep dead weight like Chavis and Slade, and we'll continue to be a middle of the pack SEC team unless we fall into the bottom third.
We have basketball season to look forward to. We have great coaching there. So this is what it's like to be a Kentucky fan."
"....years ago I would have drunk myself into an oblivion, spent the night on all the message boards, gotten physically ill replaying the Foster fumble or blocked punt in my head...last night I just said, "eh," and went to bed in peace.
I am excited now because of all the things I can plan to do on saturdays while not worrying about football...Fall fishing, taking my kids to the park, trying out new foods, playing golf, tennis, etc. "
And my personal favorite, the ALL CAPS guy, ranting:
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
CLEAN HOUSE
i HAVE HAD IT, A 30 YEAR LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE VOLS IS OVER, IF THIS CONTINUES. I WILL NOT THROW MY HARD EARNED MONEY AWAY SUPPORTING THIS JUNIOR HIGH PROGRAM ANY LONGER. OUR ATHLETES DESERVE MORE THAN OUR COACHING STAFF HAVE BEEN GIVING THEM THE LAST 10 YEARS. MISERABLE PLAY CALLING BY A GUY WHOI HAS NO BUSINESS IN THE SEC, OR WAS THAT REALLY FULMER CALLING THE SHOTS, SURE LOOKED LIKE IT. AND CHAVIS, HAS THAT MORON EVER HEARD OF A BLITZ. WE LET THAT 3RD STRING QUARTERBACK SIT THERE THE WHOLE SECOND HALF AND NEVER PUT A HIT ON HIM. ooOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH AND NICE FREAKIN PREVENT D TO LET THEM DRIVE DOWN THE FILED AND TAKE THE LEAD. THIS IS THE WORSE COACHING STAFF IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THEY HAVE. IT HAS BECOME A JOKE. STAND UP VOL NATION AND TAKE THIS PROGRAM BACK"
