John Fulkerson has played in Rupp Arena five times over his 120-year career at Tennessee, but he still doesn’t know where the scoreboard is. On the eve of (hopefully) his final trip to Lexington, Fulky reflected on the time he scored 27 points in Tennessee’s upset of the No. 6 Cats in March 2020. Even though it was a career-high, he didn’t know because he never saw the scoreboard.
“Honestly, the first thing I remember about that game is I could never see the scoreboard. That game I was really looking up and kind of out in the crowd where the two bowls overlap and I could never find the scoreboard so I never knew we were down 17, 18 in the first half or second half.
