The BOT meeting isn't the only meeting taking place this week.

[Kid Deezy]

She is dead on. Seriously don't mess with the SFD!

Lol thanks brave knight.

 

[orange parmejohn]

We are all walking into a dark room, and we’re complaining that the furniture is not where we think it should be. When the light is finally turned on, we’ll understand why things happened the way they have.

Have faith! Go Vols!

A competent AD would simply hit the light switch.

WTH does that even mean?

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Just wanted to post the quote

This important meeting is the bi-annual B.O.T. meeting. It's not an impromptu gathering. Here's the schedule:

UT Board of Trustees – The governing body of the University of Tennessee System

Buba said there is another meeting (cue mysterious music). could it be a meeting with the major principals involved???????? :question::question::question:

 

[beachmaster]

But he was referencing the Southern Miss game as the "final game", not the end of the season.

Your opinion or do you have real info? We need to know.

 

[Grand Vol]

Lol thanks brave knight.

I'd be more worried about her stabbing you and leaving you in a dark closet.

 

[vollygirl]

This is awesome..Wish I could give this a bunch of likes..

SOON

I keep holding my breath when I have the mask on. Which is really appropriate. haha

Not flirting, but you look to have slimmed down.

 

[davethevol]

Your welcome. Now carry on wayward son.

Carry On My Wayward Son was performed by Kansas. Currie just came from Kansas State and Gruden has a son.

Soon!!!!!!!

 

[WhiteOakVol]

and what would you call our situation? The fact that every national media member in the country and basically calling our AD an idiot because he hasn't fired Jones yet to me is a lot worse than what FL went through.

At least they can say "well he lied on a very serious matter", our AD just aww shucks it and we look like idiots.

Then you got fans wanting to boycott games, taking over twitter feeds about other sports, fire butch signs every where, yet this isn't a s$%t storm?

You're right it's not that, it's a freaking cluster f$%#k

I choose to believe that Currie is working (or allowing to be worked by boosters behind the scenes) to get Jon Gruden in here. It didn't happen in 2012, because of a lack of a plan. It will work out this time, but it will take time, to satisfy the AA side of things.
We as fans aren't a very patient lot. But it WILL get done.
Again, JMHO!

Yesterday on 99.1 on the cross over to Erik Ainge. He said a few things which I have been thinking about. He said the following things in a casual manner. I will paraphrase:
- Ainge is friends with a few big donors.
- Currie is asking these donors for more money then usual.
- The donors are reluctant to pay more than usual without the team showing a reason to.
- The donors will donate the normal amount, but they are hesitant to do more than that.
- The donors are not going anywhere. As in leaving.

With all of this said, do you guys think that maybe the deal with Gruden is all said and done but hinges upon Currie being able to persuade the donors for the money?

I did. Thanks for noticing.

Well that would certainly be the time to have it...with all the parties there.

He said that the Ky suspensions were in game only and did not carry over to "the final game".

Don't believe anything is being held up on the donor side.

Word.

 

[VolFan32]

Ainge is losing a lot of credibility.

 

[CubsFanTN]

Waiting for The Comb to say "Gruden to the Hill" this morning. I don't even need coffee anymore.

Excellent analogy!

 

[NAILS]

I remember waiting on the BOT meeting in '12.

 

[mrmax86]

I was being sarcastic. Currie is letting our great football program take some major brand hits, so his process better be worth it.

IMO, the hits our brand is getting from the outside world are no worse than the hits that came from the "Champions of Life", or the Team 121 Trash Can, or "Leadership Reps".

It's really bad on the inside (fans), but that can be fixed instantly if they make the right hire.

Outward perception is no worse than it's been since last year, again IMO.
