I don’t understand why the new guys didn’t post from the beginning. Boro ans DTO have been staples here for years and we all recognize them. I think that’s the main reason everyone is so skeptical regarding them and their info.

Because Boro is honest and knows what he is talking about. He was getting beat up a bit and I jumped in. I don't know him and have never spoke to him.

Mistaken, that's not him.

I scout games for Florida Citrus Sports, including the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game in Knoxville 2 seasons ago. I was quoted in the Chattanooga Times Free Press afterwards, and mistakenly given the title of “selection committee member” — while in reality, I participate in the process, but ultimately am not “picking the teams” for the 2 bowl games — hope that clears it up.

Hamilton stopped posting after a while but MIT kept posting. Then 2 more new guys popped in saying Fulmers nephew said Gruden with PM as OC. Lol. They both have brand new accts. pretty sure that was an obvious troll job. One of them has since edited all of his posts to just random letters. You can still see his posts in quotes though.

I figured as much.

Maybe they were just lurkers, like me? I've been here since the Gruden 1.0 in 2012, but didn't have anything to offer, not like I have anything to offer now, lol, but this feels different this time. Wanted to be a part of it.

Maybe they're just busy? And only found out anything worth saying now? Hell, I don't know. I'd hate to run off people just cause they're new.

Greetings Everyone. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

First off, I know ... too long, didn't read.
Second of all, there is no Gruden news in this, soon to be, long post, so if that's what you're skimming for, skip this post.

Last night I decided to go to bed and the gif didn't work, and I didn't want to leave on that note of failure, so I changed it to one that worked (still don't understand this. what am i doing wrong?) Then I went to bed. Couldn't sleep, pulled up the thread on my phone, caught back up again, threw myself out the window (just kidding) and finally went to bed a defeated man.

I slept all night long. "No big deal" you say. Well, I pretty much never do that. I always get up at least once, and usually toss and turn, but not last night. Crashed. Thank the Lord for sleep.

So, this morning, without an alarm, my eyes pop open, and I've been awake ever since.

That being said, I know some of y'all are in here for fun. You hope we get Gruden, but if not, well at least we had fun while we were in this thread. I get it. I am glad for you all. 'Bout the only fun I have in here is posting gif's (when they work) and making some casual friends along the way. Some are in this thread to troll others. I don't understand the thrill in that. Some are in this thread to get "ecred." I don't understand this either. How old are you? Some are in this thread, because they have info that they want to share with others of a common interest. You know who you are. Thank you.

Me? Why am I in this thread? I want Gruden to be our next head coach. I believe in him. I believe in what he has done, and what he could do for our team. This thread discusses him, so here I am. I greatly desire that he be the next head coach, and some of y'all say it could be happening ... soon. I'm in. I'm in until they put someone on a podium and publicly announce to the world he (whomever that may turn out to be) is our next coach. I'm in.

What I can't handle, is all this cloak and dagger stuff. I'd probably never made it in the CIA during the cold war. I posted yesterday that I have a one track mind to the nth degree. Sometimes it's a good thing. Sometimes, no so good. Right now, not so good. I've got this on my mind and I can't let it go. Maybe I've got a touch of OCD, who knows. But it's how I'm wired. It is what it is. This thread is a roller coaster. I feel like Charlie Brown getting the ball pulled away. I know it's coming, but here I go again. I wanna believe what you guys are saying, then the rug get pulled out. Then I get propped back up, feeling pretty good, and the rug gets pulled back out. Rinse, repeat, and so on. I can't take it. Maybe I'm taking all this too seriously. Okay, you're right, I'm taking this whole thing waaayyy to seriously. That's why I've gotta back off a bit.

Maybe after Butch resigns, the need for disinformation won't be so important, truth will prevail, and hopefully some good news will leak 'til we announce our guy. But I can't take all the cloak and dagger. I understand it (sort of). It's necessary. But I ain't got the time or patience for it. I can't do it. Don't misunderstand, I'll always be lurking. Reading. Following. Just not so intently. I may even feel giddy and post a gif or two. If any of you want to email me, and talk me off the ledge, you can find me at yahoo.com. It isn't hard to figure out. But for now, I've gotta back away a bit.

Yeah, I'm nuts. :crazy: :loco: :blink:

Go Vols!
Go Currie.
Get Gruden!
Get it done!




Soooooonnnnnn .....

Preacher I enjoy your posts and your faith.... It seems to be something like mine... I hope you stay, but I hope you understand ... there will be no quick answers in here or any other internet board... We all are here because we hope Gruden gets the job.... but no one knows 100%.... That day will only come the day they announce our new coach...

Post when you can... and take care of yourself

I googled 'head coach SFD' because I'm stupid for one, but you never know what Google will come up with.

I hate to out you, but I discovered your husband was the coach of St Francis de Sales lacrosse team in Ohio. Go Stallions!

That's a good thing...I'm glad others are bringing it if it's true. My stuff is conflicted or dried up right now. I don't feel good about posting anything right now.

Like I've said....only thing I'll stand by is that Butch is gone, decided after Georgia.

Other than that I'm in the Gruden camp, until it's no longer attainable.

I didn't mean that bad, either. Just seems like forever ago when I was waiting on you to post. Appreciate all you bring here. 😊

What are your thoughts this morning on this roller coaster? Do you think we are in negotiations with Gruden? Is UT all in on giving Gruden what he is asking for to get this deal done?

I researched the dude. Name and FB is legit. He started fire butch petition on FB and was a guest on Vols Network. That is a fact. The info he provided is just as credible as most of the dribble on here.

Have you ever heard of google?

I could easily google someone I wanted to pretend to be and make it up.

Or I could actually be that person.

But never posting and then posting 100 posts in 10 hours to “defend the credibility of your info” is bull.

Just because I am who I say I am doesn’t mean what I say about Gruden is true.

Dummies.

I swear if you copied the posts on this thread from 5 years ago, and pasted them in this one today, it is a carbon copy to the sequence of events the last go around.

I think there is a booster somewhere that is seriously seeking attention with misinformation, and needs to have his testes removed. Just my 2 cents. I was trying to believe.

Let's face it, the remainder of the FF, outside of the Off Topic Night Before threads and this one, is complete bat**** crazy. Dink would fit in well here so to speak since this atmosphere is light, campy and we aren't screaming:

"Butch didn't run a 53 slant with an International Harvester package and slow aardvark trotting! FAHR HIM!"

Honestly, this thread is fun when the vast majority of them aren't. Nor have we reached the "What do you think of so-and-so? He could win here" levels naming of every FBS level coach who happened to win the day before.

So, Dink is probably smart to steer away from the forum, but maybe not this thread in particular.

I know...no worries. I backed off after the drama of the troll invasions of the last couple of nights. There was nothing new to bring, and honestly I've been troubled by what I learned from DTO. I don't subscribe to it, but if true it will be fairly devastating.

Nobody I've talked to says anything like what he's heard....but I also trust him. I remain cautiously optimistic.

Hey wasn't trying to attack Boro or any of the others. I was around during the first Grudenmania and I trust and remember Boro.

Just thought it was funny that 2 days ago everyone was waiting with bated breath on what they said. Now it's like everybody forgot about Dre...
