Time to Pay the Money

To say that Butch Davis is happy at North Carolina where he will never surpass basketball as king of the hill, is ridiculous. I know there may be a few names the masses might like better, but none fit as well or are as limited on risk as is Butch Davis. He will come with a big price tag, but we will pay. Wouldn't you, after yesterday's debacle. Butch has ties to South Florida and has been a fantastic recruiter in the past - ask Larry Coker. I know he says he wouldn't leave North Carolina right now, but let's be honest....show him the money and he would be here. It would be down right stupid for him to turn us down.

In the meantime, our season is laughable. Let's just watch to see if we have any young talent that the new coach can turn into football players.

A Very Sad Day

A very sad day today indeed for those of us that have enjoyed so many victories under Phil Fulmer. Whether he could have turned it around next year or not, it was clear the underlying currents of today's landscape had swept a lot of his previous luster away. Go ye therefore ole Phil down in Tennessee lore, and bask in the glory that was your success. Keep your head high as you did an admirable job in almost all aspects of your tenure. You lead with great class, never rubbing anyone's nose in it when we were winning and losing with dignity. We were never in trouble with the NCAA under your watch and your players genuinely respected you.

Besides, if we continue to suck in the future, you can come back like Majors and take great joy in it. I know you wouldn't do that and here's hoping you start relaxing like heck in the interim of your professional career.
