Fair-weathered UT Football Fan

Greetings on a mild day here in East Tennessee. Fall is upon us and can't wait to see the leaves change. I am going backpacking for the first time in the Smokies this weekend with some friends at work. Gonna be pretty cool - I will post some pics. Anyway - not getting off the subject title. I think I am a fair-weathered UT football fan. I did not attend the university -my wife did. I am an ETSU alum and we have no football to speak of. So........being in KnoxVegas... you almost have to like UT football. Something in the air changes when UT football starts up. I like UT football. I want them to beat everyone in the SEC. But, I am no PHAT PHIL FULMER PHAN. The coach has got to go. Almost everyone in the SEC is passing him by. Guess who's leading the SEC East????? Vanderbilt. Guess what - I think they will beat UT this year - I am calling it. Hey, I predicted Ole Miss beating Florida. But getting back to UT - Phil's secret weapon - Crompton - is a joke and so are the people who love a coach that gets paid over 2 MILLION dollars to be mediocre. Music City Bowl here we come. So, until UT gets new coach and try to extend it to someone who's not on the UT family tree. Go after Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. They need to look for the Bruce Pearl of football.
So, maybe one more prediction, since I am so good at it (HA HA). Phil resigns at the end of a 6-6 year. Crossing my fingers.

Bring on NCAA hoops. Go Duke, GO UT basketball.
