Where I Live

The University of Tennessee Volunteers lost yet another game last night in Neyland Stadium . This time it was to #2 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide . There are two issues that I see with this game that I would like to expand on. The first concerns The Tide and them being ranked number 2 and the second concerns Philip Fulmer.

Alabama, has had a great season so far and still remains undefeated. However, I do not think that these guys are worthy of a number 2 ranking. After last weeks “escape” from Ole Miss, I think that it shows that this team has weeknesses. Personally, I think that Penn State and Texas Tech are both stronger contenders for this position and I think that Utah might actually be a better team than Alabama. Enough said.

Now, to the case of Philip Fulmer. Early in his career at UT, this is a game that Fulmer did not lose. He found a way to win. Lately, he has yet to find a way to get the ball into the end zone. Yesterday was no different. This to me shows that it is time for a change. Philip has done UT right and it would be great to see him step down as opposed to being fired. But, as for the 2009 season, it is time for UT to regain the glory that they once had and get back to being a powerhouse, not a powder house.
