If no one else is on coach Fullmer's side there are players that are and will give a 100% to make sure he goes out with a win...
Sophomore wide receiver Gerald Jones isn’t the only player upset with the situation, but he is one of the most outspoken.
“I really don’t have too many things to say to Mike Hamilton right now,” Jones said after Sunday night’s practice. “He took a lot of stuff away from me, something that’s very valuable, and that’s my head coach.
“Coach Fulmer is one of the main reasons I came here, and he took it away.”
Jones said he wasn’t sure whether Hamilton would find a proper replacement.
“I sure hope so, because if not, he’s going to have a whole bunch of people mad at him,” Jones said. “He already has a lot of people mad at him, so he better make that up.
“I don’t know anything. He hasn’t said anything to us. I doubt if he will until he finds out who he wants to be the head coach.”
Jones said the only other college system he knew was Texas Tech’s. His best friend from Millwood (Okla.) High School is Red Raiders redshirt freshman receiver Tramain Swindell, and Jones nearly chose Tech before signing with UT.
Ironically, several close to the Volunteers program have suggested Texas Tech coach Mike Leach as a potential Fulmer replacement.

I guess when it comes to UK FB, I am just not a natural optimist. Thus, I don't see the UK players being able to overcome the emotion of UT in this game. I wish I could be more hopeful, but our offense has been spotty at best and our defense has too many injuries.
I hope I'm wrong, but a loss in this game could doom our bowl hope completely.

Bayer, regretfully I agree. We have too many injuries to overcomes and the "emotion" you elude to will be too much of a mountain to overcome. The "last game" for ole coach thing, coupled with the 23-game streak, and the game being the last for the UT players and also being in Knoxville...adds up to too much to overcome...
on the otherhand if UK loses again to them who knows when Uk will ever win a game against them.
If we lose we really are not deserving of a bowl bid, we lost Lyons and Locke, are not very attractive to a bowl, IMO. But being a Uk fan I want a win and a bowl, regardless.
