When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title.

Wow.
hysterical!!
LOL! Girls are dum! LOL! LOL!
Frankly, I believe that bob is intimidated by your ass, Clay.
Priceless. Utterly priceless.
It was a pleasure to work with you and your crew. I wish you the best. And I thought it was great. The white pants ruled. We will always have the story of the white pants.
