The rumor I heard through a well-placed bookie is that UT head coach Phil Fulmer may resign because of an affair and a pregnant mistress. Googling for "phil fulmer pregnacy," the first hit goes to fellow RTBer CJ, who works for a local news station. CJ says it's not true.
On October 31 The Knoxville News-Sentinel reported a denial from the UT Men's Athletic Department about the resignation. The subject of an affair was never mentioned, even though the rumor was going around on October 30.
As CJ says, at this point it's just a baseless rumor.

Les, buddy, this is o-o-o-l-d news. The rumor was started more or less on an internet site, and probably came from a Bama fan.
