read a bunch of cute tweets from the players.

w2g phil!

Phillip Fulmer was a first-ballot selection Tuesday for College Football Hall of Fame enshrinement.

Fulmer becomes the third University of Tennessee coach to be selected in the coaching category, joining Robert Neyland and Doug Dickey.

Johnny Majors and Bowden Wyatt were inducted as players, along with 17 other Vols.
Fulmer coached the Vols for three games as interim head coach in 1992 then took over full time in 1993.

He went 152-52 as head coach, a .745 winning percentage, until he was forced to resign effective at the end of the 2008 season.

Induction criteria require a coach be retired for three years. Fulmer was one of eight coaches on the ballot. Coaches have to have won 60 percent of their games over a career of at least 100 games.

Fulmer’s most celebrated season was 1998 when the Vols went 13-0 and won the BCS national championship. (via)

you're welcome!!!

we're getting a space shuttle!!

albeit a fairly old-and-busted one:

NASA’s space shuttles, which have been carrying astronauts aloft for 30 years, were assigned to their final destinations on Tuesday: one will head to the nation’s capital, another to Los Angeles, and the third from its current home at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the center’s visitor complex next door. 

Conspicuous among the unsuccessful hopefuls were the Museum of Flight in Seattle, which had already begun construction of a wing that it hoped would house an orbiter; the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Ohio; and NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas, the site of mission control for the 135 shuttle missions.

suck it, seattle.

The disappointment in Houston was pronounced. Representative Pete Olson, a Republican whose district includes the space center, said in a statement, “This oversight smacks of a political gesture in an agency that has always served above politics.”

suck it, houston.

With the Discovery headed to the Smithsonian, the museum will no longer have need for the Enterprise, the shuttle that has been on display there since 2003. The Enterprise, which was used for early glide tests but was never sent into orbit, will now go the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in Manhattan. (via)
