"Subpoena-Gate" is much-ado about nothing. Lets step back and look at this silly situation.
The Alabama football program is a known cheater/outlaw program. They got caught red-handed. The program insiders have been seeking ways to get revenge on Phil Fulmer for sometime. They use one of their supporters to file a wrongful lawsuit and make Phil Fulmer squirm by forcing him under oath to detail all of the particulars on his part in the NCAA investigation. Classless and typical of someone who wants to point the finger and scream "victim!"
What made matters worse was Phil Fulmer misleading everyone in regards to being served the subpoena and bullying reporters into not asking about the subpoena. That is akin to Fulmer stepping into a pile of doggie doo-doo, lying when asked if he did step into the pile of doggie doo-doo, and then tracking it on your mother's brand new white living room carpet.
Geoff Calkins from the Memphis Commercial Appeal wrote a column that best describes the embarrassing scenario that Phil Fulmer has created for himself and is forcing the fans that support the UT football program, to endure.

Nail, meet head. It is utterly mind-boggling to try and digest what Fulmer was dishing out regarding the "Subpoena? What subpoena?" business.
I have an 18-year-old niece. When she was about 12, she dropped a glass on the kitchen floor spilling her juice everywhere. I said to her, as she kept going about her business, "Hey kiddo.....you really need to pick up the glass and clean up the juice." She said "why?" I reminded her, as ridiculous as it seemed, that she just dropped the glass and spilled everything in it. Her response: "I didn't drop anything."
That's the essence of "Subpoena-Gate" as it applies to Fulmer. That he wantonly insulted the collective intelligence of everyone with a notepad or microphone is, well...insulting.
And lest I only cite Fulmer, the University of Alabama and their legal team would seem a better fit in Mayberry with Sheriff Andy. Someone needs to whisper to them that outside of Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Paranoid Falls (which is just south of Muscle Shoals), the rest of the nation looks at what they're doing and just shakes their heads.
I often wonder if the state of Alabama's list of priorities is as follows:
1. Faith
2. Family
3. Getting Phil Fulmer
4. Obsessing over Phil Fulmer
5. Alabama Football
