The guy's name is Antron Wright. he used to coach at Killian HS down in Miami. Killian always has D1A prospects.
He's pushing a bunch of Florida prospects out of state, and now all of the sudden they have major interest in UT, such as Kenny Phillips. Phillips has a poster of Sean Taylor in his locker and says him and Ed Reed are his favorite football players, and now he's 50/50 between Miami and UT? Same with his teammate Ricky Jean Francois. It's getting some press down there and most of the recruiting sites know about it.
He was handing out UT gear to players at the Cali-Florida bowl.

Never again.
I admit that I was always one to beat my drum about other programs and their transgressions. None of us know what has happened. Phil Fulmer may be a tremendous person and coach.
We ALL know now that NOTHING that we read can be believed until the actual person accused admits wrong doing. I won't ever again point fingers.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Go Bucks!!

As much as Tennessee is a big school, they're sort of a second tier team. They're not on the same level as OU, USC, tOSU, scUM, etc.

Are you on crack? Since fatass' first full season there (1993), Tennessee has a record of 119-31-0 (.793), a consensus national title, two outright conference titles and four division titles in a conference that is always among the best in the country, has gone to bowl games every year except 2002, and has been ranked every year except 2002, including six seasons in the top 10. They also beat us 20-14 in the only game they played against us. Few other teams in the country can match such an 11-year run. No [censored]in' way they're a second-tier team.

I agree, they are a top tier team. Arguably one of the top 5 jobs in the country. The atmosphere and love for the football program is very similar (if not in some ways greater) to OSU.
I was born in Knoxville and have been to a few games. I have lived in Columbus Ohio the majority of my life and go to at least 2 Buckeye games a year as well. So that's how I draw my comparison. Anyway.
This will be interesting as many alumni have been unsatisfied with Phil for the past several seasons since he won a national title. They feel that he has slacked off somewhat in recruiting since the title. These same people feel a change would be good but you can't fire the guy since he almost won another SEC title.
I've placed a call to a Vol alumni and former player under both Johnny Majors and Fullmer. If he knows anything on the subject that hasn't already been discussed here I'll post it after I hear from him. |

To clarify, here is another way of saying what I meant:
Tennessee is one fo the best schools in teh country, but I think they are sort of a step behind the top-5 (USC, OU, Mich, tOSU).
Which is why I said sort of. If you walked into a tabloid magazine editor's office and you told him you had two articles to run, one on Tennessee one on Ohio State, which one would he tell you to run?
I should have said they are at the lower end of the top tier, as that is an opinion I'd stick to. I would align them with the likes of LSU, clearly a top team in terms of national prestige and such, but are still a little bit behind Ohio State/Mich/USC/OU in my unofficial, non-expert opinion.
Tennessee #11 overall ranking on this site (no idea if this is a great source, I'm just too lazy to keep looking)
http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data...m_rankings.php
I think I would put them at around #7 in my book.
Recently they are definitely a top tier team. I'm basing my #7 on overall plus recent results.

If all is true as implied then that's the only part about this that comes close to bringing a smile to my lips. Hypocrisy is something I just detest.
