KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer grew up in the small town of Winchester, a short drive from the Alabama border, and seriously considered playing for Crimson Tide coach Bear Bryant before choosing the rival Volunteers.
quote:
He was a Tennesseean born and raised. Played and coached at Tennessee for 35 years. Tennessee was always his final job. He was fired at age 58 and moved on with his life to be with his grand kids and the millions of dollars in his bank account. Can't blame him.
Did you know that?

Back in those days there were only a few teams that were in the spotlight on a weekly basis in college football. To say Fulmer may have had some interest in playing at that place just to try and stir something up is just stupid.
Melvin Gordon was once committed to Iowa, an inner divisional rival to Wisconsin, but ended up playing at Wisconsin. Fast forward to today and does it make a difference for Melvin? Hell no.
