- This is odd. The Tennessee Sports Writers Association has both honored coach Fulmer as the college football coach of the year and John Adams as columnist of the year in large part for calling for Fulmer's head. Go figure. But don't hurt yourself.
- Jonathan Crompton will be writing a column for The Sporting News this fall. Perhaps he'll write a hoax about a rival selling cocaine and uzis, blending puppies into delicious smoothies, and being the best man at Osama Bin Laden's recent wedding to his most-prized goat. Or maybe he'll just leave out the humor, leave in the cocaine, and get waist deep in the stink.
- 3rd Saturday in Blogtober has the first Big Orange Roundtable Roundup. Good stuff from all over the orange 'sphere.
- The secret of SEC speed revealed.
- Two safeties are out for the Florida due to knee injuries. Hard news for the Gators' already-weakest link.
- The UCLA Bruins apparently have the best set of coordinators in the Pac-10 and one of the best in the country, according to The Sporting News, via Inside Tennessee.
- The first hint of the season is coming into view in eight days in the form of SEC Media Days.
- Inside Tennessee is continuing is Best of Fulmer Era series with articles on kickoff return men (including Peerless Price and Leonard Scott), punt return men (including Terry Fair, Mark Jones, and, a bit surprisingly, Jonathan Hefney), punters (including only one person surnamed Colquitt), and safeties (headlined by Deon Grant and Jason Allen).
- The biggest distinction between this year's recruiting class (so far) and last year's? Stability. Also, receivers coach Latrell Scott is a well-traveled, and efficient, man.
