re: Nick Saban at LSU compared to Nick Saban at Alabama

Yes, he did. Tennessee's success is pretty much attached that guy.

I think General Robert Neyland would have something to say about that. Probably Johnny Majors, too.

Yes, he did. Tennessee's success is pretty much attached that guy. His name alone supplements all of our good memories. When a Tennessee fan thinks of the name Fulmer, he or she envisions the glory days. That's how he wound up as the AD- Joe Sixpack and Son up on Moonshine Mountain thought he could resurrect the good old times of Tennessee football.

Anyways, this was an intriguing discussion. I'm about to fall asleep. I enjoyed our conversation.

Hope you are sleeping well. When you wake up, think more rationally about things.

You being only 23 years old, a good proverb to memorize would be this one:

Even though I was born yesterday, football didn't start yesterday.

Tennessee had a very rich football history long before Fill My Belly Fulmer stole the HC job from a man while he was hospitalized.

Fulmer didn't in any way make Tennessee who they were. Tennessee already had a formidable reputation long before Fulmer, unlike LSU before Saban.

Saban did, in fact, make LSU. LSU was a nobody with no history that amounted to anything on a national level, and not much of one on a regional level, before Saban.

That wasn't the case with Tennessee before Fulmer, and certainly not with Alabama before Saban.
