Oh, and before I gtfo (yea that's real adult), I have some bad news for some of you living in your Moms basement:

The following are not real: Santa, Easter Bunny, Batman, Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot , ToptheTerrible. I saw them all on a milk carton next to Gruden as "missing" from the Vols sideline
FYP

So that would change the BATNA...in theory? Since you are changing the end result.

Eh, I'm not sure that's a good way to look at it. It wouldn't change the BATNA because the BATNA is the state you are in if no deal happens.

Pareto and KH are about the outcomes of a deal. Kinda like evaluating the opposite of the BATNA, if you will. It quantifies the improvement of a deal over the BATNA, and you should accept when you cannot manipulate the deal to improve your outcome. Sometimes, those concepts are used to refer to the OVERALL position of all parties, meaning that everyone is getting the BEST deal possible (maximum improvement).

As I've always heard it used, KH is used to describe the overall state, while Pareto refers to individual parties (could be my circle of experience though, as an attorney I don't deal with too many people who regularly think in these terms).

My question was about whether Peyton's involvement changed the entire landscape, meaning that when he got involved brand new Pareto improvements were possible - thus making the previous landscape non-KH efficient.

Hopefully that makes sense.

* I could be very wrong in the way I use these terms. I'm a lawyer, not a business professional.

So I am guessing we are waiting to see if Currie can slow play this long enough to beat the pocket aces that the Boosters think they are holding

I believe I have broke the code :)

Which is why the nuggets of info and new stories come out...to apply pressure.

Thank you very much for explaining all these things.
 
I think Peyton goes to MNF, becomes the new Gruden, endorses Bud, and Dilly Dilly becomes the new Nationwide jingle.
 
Hey there Smokeyhuntsgators! Wildorange wants make sure your percentage is still the same. I remember you from 2012. We got to get it done this time! SOON!!!!!!

Hey there!! Yes I do remember you from the last time.. I was confident then but it's a different kinda confidence this time around..Just a good feeling I have...

My % is still at 99.999

The Grude News, evening edition. For those just tuning in.

Brought to you by:

Nick Saban Motors. "I used to be a successful coach; until Gruden forced me into selling used cars...but I've got a deal for you!"

{cue to remove platform Saban is standing on for commercial}

The Waffle House. "Scattered, smothered, covered and chunked. And we ain't talking about our hash browns."

And

Red's Wholesale Brick Distributors. "Want to build something? We can help you brick by brick!"


Apologies for missing the updates. Got a little down, but I got a mix tape from Ape to cheer me up. Now, I've never heard the terms "STFU" and "GTFO" sung to Gregorian chants, but it moved me enough to post the updates again.

Jones was at the press conference today... <sigh> So much for the good news and all.


Shortly thereafter, a job posting appeared for an Administrative Assistant in the UT AD office. Apparently, one should precede explaining those terms with "Sir, it means..."

Beaver suggests calm and things were on track. Which prompted a shaved versus waxed beaver discussion. Which somehow morphed into a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragons/World of Warcraft discussion. Which made it pretty easy to identify the nerds among us. (you know who you are)

Boro suggested the same. Said things were more or less on track.

DTO is gone. Got angry, took his ball and went home.

We have an interesting legal source. Laid out the whole contract thing and how it works. Seems to be very knowledgeable about the situation and broke it down into Barney terms most of us can understand.

As well as another poster that's been following internet stalking us which helped break things down as well. Welcome aboard, guys.

SergeantVol has started a campaign to be a Mod. Not sure that's news, but a little humor mixed in with everything helps the day go by. Oh wait... he was serious? My bad lol

Freak had to step in during Gruden XXIV. Folks were getting a bit grumpy. Hell, I'm grumpy, but I won't direct it at a specific poster.

Albert Haynesworth dropped a Twitter bomb that said Jones will be here the remainder of the season, but Gruden is the front runner to replace him.

Not long after Tweeting, he got beat up by a former cheer teammate of Cindy Gruden for speaking when he shouldn't.

In related news, the NSA has removed the words "Gruden, Grumor and Grude" from it's list of metadata collection. This was done in order to avoid having to hire 7,500 new analysts to sift through message board traffic and prevent the meltdown of their servers.

Freak decides new pool on yacht will be filled with water after Lynchburg levels kept dropping by 2.5 feet every night and 9 feet during game days. After draining, Doyle found nestled at the bottom of the pool with a content smile on his face.

Also, he had to cut Daniela Lopez Osorio as the new head lifeguard. In test trials, attempted male drownings were up 9,432%. Is considering Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds as replacements and calling it R2. Sudden cries erupt of "I'm drowning!" as Volly, Faceless and DynaLo all claim to be in need of rescue at the same time and require mouth to mouth. Sara and SFD heard from the deck yelling "you go girl!" while sipping on little umbrella decorated fruity drinks and hurling dollar bills.

However, new lifeguards note the three are still not even in the pool yet. And that CPR generally does not include silly grins and wandering hands on the part of the victim.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and I'll have a martini. Shaken, not stirred.











(All information herein is specifically parody unless otherwise indicated by real posters or events)

At some point I want to make your news feed. If you say nothing but Wildorange still says SOON!!!! AND FOR CURRIE TO GET IT DONE before he has too go on blood pressure medicine!!!! LOL!!!!!

I have never heard these terms and words until today, but does it benefit the boosters position to have done this BAFTA? Does it basically put the UT admin in a bind if they don't agree?
 
Ok Freak...thanks for looking out for me with the "NSFW" status while I was at work...now, I have one question for you...where the hell is Daniela?
 
Looks like you're in Lafayette...I've lived here or Ann Arbor for the past 17 years and my Big10 peeps always say that they consider UT to be the Purdue of the SEC. Stings.

They say that here too. Easy comparison when we go after the same coaches. I actually work among several SEC fans too and they are worse than the Big Ten ones.

Doesn't mean the Big Ten guys don't take every opportunity to rag me for every lame cliche that our coach comes up with!

I am a lawyer, too, and I have no clue what Kaldor-Hicks are. After having 3 kids, I knew my wife had Braxton-Hicks contractions.

But I am basically a street lawyer.
