Those 18 hole putt putt courses can be a beast. Especially when you're stuck behind a slow playing group

We used to take dry bags full of ice and beer to the putt putt course. Our rounds took a loooooong time. Then we would get on an alpine slide hammered.

Good times.

Its just amazing how Beaver comes in spewing what we all wanna hear and then goes on some verification process (that no connected person would even care to do). And we say he is vetted because he can name the bartender at the honors course? Atlanta vol vets him by saying that is the right name of the bartender but none of us know if that is a correct answer or not? Heck even if it were the right answer, the way he said it sounded a little outside the way a honors member would say it. “He serves me scotch old enough to rent a car”. Atlanta Vol who guaranteed the deal was done with Blackburn back in the AD post. I want Gruden too, but this was a classic troll job. I will tar and feather myself if wrong, but I feel confident Beaver didnt have gospel info

Sad state of affairs, Beav gave us hope. Hope is been in short supply in an around our athletics programs. Exception being tennis, soccer and whatever other sports Currie is enamoured with.

Most of us want to believe my friend...and that includes me. People certainly will prey on that...however I don’t have any agenda to do so. I also feel MIT BEAVE didn’t have an motive to do so either. I only want the best for this football team and its players. The entire state of TN deserves better than what we have had to deal with between Dofus, Lane, and now butch.

How would you know how an honors member speaks? Is there some country club way of saying something that I am unaware of?

Fact is the guy came in here with information. I simply noticed that there had been a bunch of talk about honors etc by him so as a member myself very easy for me to vet with a few simple questions to see if he was full of bs...he nailed them both. What he was saying also lined up with some of the things i had heard from my neck of the woods so I felt inclined to post and also make him an offer.

And for your info...the Blackburn deal was as good as done...until about the only person in those neck of the woods had to get involved....and it blew up. Which he is rather good at. Another epic failure IMO that highlighted the power struggle with some of our largest boosters. It has been a constant since i have been involved.

That's disappointing that we have factions of boosters that refuse to put the university first over their egos

Anybody who coaches the Raiders is not afraid of failure.

Anybody who coaches in a Super Bowl is not afraid of failure.

Anybody who writes a post claiming to understand the psyche of Jon Gruden projects their own psyche.

Conclusion: You are afraid of failure.
