Probably in a bunker deep in the hills outside of Knoxville, preparing for his inevitable return as head football coach at Tennessee. But, while wheels are turning, schemes are hatched, and plans carefully plotted, Tennessee is reaching back to the Fulmer years with the latest commitment it received.
Cornerback Deion Bonner (by the way, did you know that Deion Sanders calls his mother “Mama Prime?” 200 POINTS TO PRIMETIME) told Tennessee coaches on Monday that he would sign with the Vols next Wednesday. Other than being an elite high school football player, Bonner is best known for a recruiting visit to Georgia last year where he stole $1,900 worth of iPods and iPhones from the Bulldogs’ locker room.
Had Bonner stolen $1,900 worth of merchandise from South Carolina’s locker room, or from Spurrier himself, Phil Fulmer would have personally delivered a duffel bag of cash to Bonner’s dad/uncle/high school coach/preacher/deacon/elder/the person with the most sway because true Vols always take care of one another.
