Jonathan Crompton Era Needs to End

quote:

---

Saturday night as I left the stadium a black man in a suit played a mournful dirge on his saxophone. Standing in Phillip Fulmer Way with an open case in front of him, his music soared into the clear night sky as downcast Vol fans passed him.

One fan, an older man in a Vol parka, reached into his wallet and pulled out a dollar bill. "You're the best player I've seen all night," the man said.

The saxophone player nodded as he continued to play. It was October 3rd and already fall seemed like it stretched forward into eternity.

"That damn Crompton," the man said, shaking his head, "that damn Crompton."
