And one for the sharp lady wearing PJs and hiding her tablet in order to avoid being accused of a thread addiction.

Its a snuggie okay!

I retired last year, only work part time when Funeral Home is busy .... my wife works at home so.... I watch for the news

I think my life got busier after I retired. It's got its good points but it's not all kick back and take it easy, either.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Oh, you are so hated now...

I've done it for about 5 years now. At this point it seems barbaric and absurd to me that people leave their homes to work. Hahaha.

 

[Rizzo924]

DTO back on board .... Atl said the donors are threatening to withhold their donations if Currie doesn?t make it happen

Yep & what Atlanta Vol said ab withholding donations is exactly what the Beaver said had happened with the boosters.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Its a snuggie okay!

Ha! How's the wife?

 

[Grand Vol]

Me too. I've remained at 90% for a while now, and constantly believing that things are in place and there is a plan/process. But I'm starting to get restless. I'm also getting concerned about my mental stability and wellbeing if this takes much longer. I feel like Dec 25 keeps coming, and we keep getting an IOU from santa.

Yeah, but it's worth the extra wait for Santa to upgrade our dull Chevy Cobalt to this:

 

[EZE]

If you remember I never jumped off, but remained cautiously optimistic. The info DTO and I get frequently lines up, but this time it did not. We talked about it privately. I saw nothing that alarmed me, he heard something different for a few days.

Don’t read VolNugs. It will burst your bubble.

It is interesting that just about every “AD source” claims that Gruden isn’t going to happen. But the “booster sources” are more optimistic.

We shall see.

Am I the only one who thinks it is odd that Currie has made zero comments on the situation, including defending his coach? Makes me confident that something is happening behind the scenes

 

[ATC_VOL]

Thanks for that recap Grand. I have kids this time around and can’t read every post like I did in 2012.

It saddens my soul to know how much influence the boosters truly have over football programs.

 

[Grand Vol]

You, my friend, have become one of my favorite people in the world.

I'll allow your snuggie without any snarky comments.

 

[supercoop]

Grude morning everyone! Been busy last couple of days had a lot of catching up to do.
glad to have seen there has been some booms.....keep the faith all in for Gruden!

Again, reminds me of harbough to Michigan. Complete silence and people thought it was dumb rumors

 

[DuckinVol]

I work from home. Pjs are one of the perks.

Me too, but have way too many video conferences (couple per day) to not get dressed. I do often just wear a t-shirt and shorts and have a dress shirt handy for calls.

 

['Boro-vol]

Yep & what Atlanta Vol said ab withholding donations is exactly what the Beaver said had happened with the boosters.

This was the info I got after the Georgia game.

Apparently the contentious meeting after the game was called to express the "no more money" sentiment....until things were fixed. Good to see the sticking to their guns.

Here are the relevant quotes:

I know nothing of the AD hiring situation, but yes, those relevant quotes are true. And there is reason to be positive.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Ha! How's the wife?

Lots of pain today. The past month has been nothing but hospitals it seems.

Vol Nugs is a clearing house for all sorts of stupid. I'm beginning to think it's a disinformation op run by the AD.

Makes me happy in this case.

I feel for you!

 

[Grand Vol]

I know. I know.

Hey, if Hubby Dearest came in and said "honey, I wanted to have your gift by Christmas, but it got delayed a bit. But I'm not going to tell you what it is until it's here" and eventually he shows up with the keys to an Aston Martin, you wouldn't complain.

I thinking grinning from ear to ear would be the appropriate term.

Then you are doing it wrong. I retired 3 years ago at 42 years old and love it. Living the dream

Prayers for you and your wife knuck
