I qoute from the article:

"Despite the raise, Fulmer remains the SEC’s seventh highest paid coach, behind Alabama’s Nick Saban ($4 million), LSU’s Nick Saban ($3.751 million), Florida’s Urban Meyer ($3.25 million), first-year Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino ($2.85 million), Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville ($2.8 million) and Georgia’s Mark Richt ($2.8 million)."

No wonder SaTan is the highest paid Head Coach in the SEC - he's the head man of TWO SCHOOLS!
From my addition he is paid $4 M at AL and $3.751 at LSU for a total salary of $7.76 Million!

DOUBLE DANG! He ain't THAT Good or is it that LSU still is thinking he's their man instead of "Depressed Les"?

Money does not and will not buy class and loyalty.
Pat Summitt has both.

Yep, there's always a "pis*er" in every crowd, isn't it. Some folks just can't read the story for what it is - they always have to find something negative about it or always be a “Gloomy Gus”.

The recruiting of underclass athletes under their Junior year in high school is B***S***!
Those 14, 15 and 16 year old kids don't even know whether they want Pop Tarts or Corn Flakes for breakfast let alone where or what they want to do with 4 years of their future!
Don’t High School administrators, teachers and coaches have enough problems to deal with with their student/athletes as it is without the allurement of the “Big Time” college programs and high profile coaches from them disrupting what little sanity they are trying to establish and adhere to dealing with these kids?
The NCAA in all its grand wisdom should establish rules and guidelines for THIS kind of crap instead of handcuffing the athletic departments and coaches with superfluous and unnecessary guidelines that encumber and hinder progress.
Why not sign a kid that hasn’t been BORN yet because his mother or daddy was a former GREAT athlete or alumnus, if this is going to be the norm. When do you put a bottom line to the situation? When is “Enough is enough”?

Congratulations to our Lady Vols! We have been spoiled the past couple of years with GREAT success in the softball program. Having Monica as an all-american stopper on the mound and with the cast she had surrounding her really had in in the top of the class the past 3 or 4 years. Coach Weekley(s), both, are first class coaches that will
continue to bring success and great players to our softball program.

If we ALL had horses then we ALL could have "free rides".
But then, don't you have to feed the horses?
Doesn't feed cost money?
Hmmmm- Don't add up , does it!

They pay twice that much for booze tailgating before even GOING to the game, much less what is spent
on after-game parties.
By the way- it used to be that “tail-gating” had a totally different meaning back when I went to school!

Haven't seen that kind of DEFENSE since the 3 "Meeks" 3-Peat. What we all saw was a TOTAL TEAM DEFENSIVE effort that brought us a National Championship!
TREMENDOUS EFFORT by Nickie and Little Bit. WAY TO STEP UP, Girls!
A tear of joy came to my cheek with about 5 min. to go in the game. This year, for me, was so frustrating to watch because I KNEW they could be better than they were. Tonight my frustrations came to an end.
I Say It's GREAT, To Be, A Tennessee Vol!
CONGRATULATION PAT & MY LADY VOLS!

It's time to play some "HUNKER DOWN" - "IN YOUR FACE DEFENSE", Ladies!
The fact was, when Candace was out for a period of time, everyone stepped up and contributed - defensively and offensively. When need that kind of effort when she is ON THE FLOOR as well as when she is on the bench.
If we get after it like we know we can do, we won't have any problems. It is going to take a big effort from ALL to bring home another NC, but we can do it!
INTENSITY + DESIRE + DICIPLINE = NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
GO BIG ORANGE - GO LADY VOLS!
