If you remember that's why the NS got banished to the Pub back in 2012. Nobody else was up at 3 am and it was just you, me and Escape Goat, SamRebel and Doyle Hargraves and a couple other nuts talking about Squatchin, and whatever else was on at 3am 😊

EG needs to show his face around these parts. Can't be full on Grudenmania without him.

Some of you people are going to need a support group if Beaver proves to be a fraud. I'd love to see Gruden coach at UT...just don't see it happening. He's an NFL guy...flame away!
Click to expand...

Not really.

I'd heard enough to know it was possible before he ever made his first post. He's just been a little more adimate that it was going to happen than they were.

We 'll see.

I read in a post show article that it was a ship’s chain. I didn’t pay attention when I watched it, and agree right that the Night King planned it. I really think Bran is the NK. I have evidence but it would be too long and the nega-GoTs would get pissed.
Click to expand...

You don't have evidence that Bran is the Night King. The most you have is fan speculation and conjecture. isaac hempstead wright, the actor that plays Bran, as well as G.R.R.M himself, and Dan and Dave (the makers of the show) have publicly flat out denied that Bran is in ANY way the Night King. There are fan theories that make zero sense, given the facts the show and books have said. In the show, it actually shows the human, one of the first men, being turned into the Night King by the Children of the Forest. That Human was not some random human Bran warged into, making himself the Night King. It was an actual person that was one of the first men, thousands of years ago that was at war with the Children of the Forest. Bran is not the Night King. Never has...never will be.

Ron Swanson posted this in the recruiting forum. It's apparently a post by Hubbs in TOS......

Maybe for a traditional hire. It has already been pointed out the various departments affected who need to sign off on it. This isn't the status quo hire.

Just read where Gruden makes 6.5 million in his ESPN job. That means that UT would probably have to pay him 7.5 to 8 million to come to UT, which I think would put him in the top 5 for college coach pay. Seems like a lot of money to pay a coach who hasn't coached in 9 years and had a 54% winning percentage, about the same that Butch has at UT. This would not be a smart hire for that amount of money, but if they do make the hire, I would hope the contract has a performance specification that significantly limits his buyout if and when he only averages winning 7 or 8 games a year. Paying these huge buyouts for mediocre performance is getting ridiculous, not the way it should work.

I agree, childish and pedantic!



GTFO!

But it's just the wights that can't swim right? Never showed that the White Walkers or the Night King himself couldn't swim I think.

Wights can't swim. Neither can Whitewalkers. Wights sure as **** can enter the water and not die by being in it. They sure can sink to the bottom, tie chains around a dragon that sunk to the bottom. Then after the dragon is pulled up, you got a few wights stuck on the floor of the lake. Plothole solved.

He was successful in the NFL! Saban wasn't, Spurrier wasn't, and so on! They are all very successful in College! Gruden will be also because talent will Donald Trump everything!

Soon!

I want to believe the Beave, but I think the facts are too loud to ignore here:

There's currently a campaign to "Empty Neyland" saturday, which, if even 50% successful, would result in somewhere in the ballpark of $5M revenue loss to the University AD. If there was a plan in place that could actually BOOST revenue at Homecoming (firing Butch, especially coupled with a replacement announcement), they would DEFINITELY pull the trigger given the alternative. Some have said there are financial concerns surrounding the timing, but there's NO chance they're concerns to the tune of $5M. This leads me to believe Curry does not have a deal in place, and does not expect one imminently.

I'd love to hear that I'm wrong and that Gruden is locked up, but it does not correlate with what we're experiencing right now with the AD.

What's the break down on how UT loses 5 mil this weekend at 50% capacity?

For the record that won't happen. IMO

Someone start a game of thrones thread for our friends to discuss in. I'm sure they would be more comfortable there where all the Gruden posts aren't in their way. I for one want to hear about all thing Gruden.

If you forced everyone to start a new thread and leave anytime something other than Gruden is discussed then alot of people should have already left.

That's always been my philosophy too. But my family all stopped donating, gave up season tickets that had been in the family for over 45 years (section U row 23), and have refused to support the administration since 2013.

As much blood, sweat and tears that my family and friends have left on that field and as much money that we have given to that University over several generations, we just can't bring ourselves to support the administration any longer until positive changes are made.
We try to go to at least a game a year and been on the fence for a couple years about buying season tickets. Just can't pull the trigger with the state of the program. Plus two young kids makes it even harder but it will happen soon

Getting a name like Gruden would be very beneficial for the University. You know Gruden would have top assistants which would help vastly with recruiting and coaching guys up. Season tickets and merchandise would flourish. He would basically pay for himself. The problem is Gruden is an NFL guy and I think he stands true to what he said back in July. All the "insiders" keep stringing this along and people are eating it up...almost like nobody learned from this BS back in 2012 when all the same things were being said. As it stands right now..today..there is no deal with Jon Gruden and nothing has been agreed to. Could it? Maybe...but the ones that are saying its a sure thing or a secret deal is already in place are playing your emotions like a puppeteer to enjoy their little bit of popularity. Cold hard facts...but facts none the less.
Flame Away....

You used Gruden and mediocre in the same paragraph. See your way out.
