Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[Harvester]

Holy sh**. I’ve been lurking for a while but seeing this blew my mind enough to finally post.

Exactly. Regardess of how things work out, this is freaking awesome.

The pressure on the Admin now has to be at an all time high!!! The media is gonna start hammering the concussion situation. Some already have!!!

I thought someone pointed out the castor= beaver about 5 gruden threads ago?

 

[Jake]

basically, it's the pocket aces for that part of the deal. The very public aim is to be a top 25 public research university. This creates a remarkable opportunity to do that.

Bev couldn't say no even if she wanted to.

wow!

So the theory is that the VC involvement is basically a counter balance in funding for the academics so the AD can move forward financially with athletics?

Yes.. makes sense.. sure there will have to be formal commitments.. Also hawks post makes a heck of s lot of sense. For this to work and not fantasy a lot of foundation building .. prep and “new sources “ of revenue to counter weight any old power. Mediocre is very easy to control

Point 1: Dont come in here if you arent willing or able to get on another plane. Whats contained in this thread isnt for the average idiot just trolling by looking for snippets. If youre waiting for major media to be convinced of something then just stay out.

Point 2: when they make the movie of this, all I ask is to be at least one of the red shirt guys that gets killed off halfway thru the movie. A cast extra. Thatll be fine.

But there are new folks that need to be brought up to speed.

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

Good morning everyone. And welcome to the Post-Halloween "I've really got to cut back on sweets...but one more can't hurt" Season. It's that time of the year where we have an overabundance of things guaranteed to make us fat. And further, here's an an early New Year's Resolution to "gotta drop that ten pounds."

In other words, I should stop eating leftover candy. Anyway...

Rumor has it Jones' agent has been shopping him around. Buyout is done and he's looking for a landing spot.

However, on the subject of rumors...there is no good reason to go full tilt on Twitter rumors and whatnot from completely unverified sources. Like this alleged Davenport thing last night. I mean, are we really going to get our underwear all bunched up over some buffoon on Twitter with an Infowars picture on his profile and way too much time on his hands? Let's be smart about what we believe and extremely skeptical of those bringing completely outlandish items. Had I written the same thing here, most everyone would have taken it as my attempts at humor and moved on to the next paragraph without giving it a second thought. Try practicing a little rational thought instead of jumping at what some random dude says.

Having said that to say this, rumor on TOS got tossed out that "it's going down" and was verified by the infamous Hutch7. As to what specifically was going down, we don't know.

Hawk went straight Kojak on us last night and started piecing together a lot of crumbs into a slice of bread. I think there are still some key pieces missing, but at no fault of his since not all of the information will be in the public eye. However, he presents a compelling theory of "why" things might be unfolding as they are and has decent circumstantial evidence to back it up.

A whole lot of smoke about this Kendrick injury story. Like Mount Saint Helens smoking circa May 1981 if true. JAV on TOS and Brad Shepherd both chimed in that it has legs as well. Three words keep popping up. Fired. For. Cause.

Both revjayp and Volinbham giggle like schoolgirls. Admitted to it in public.

Reasonably low time poster Grude_Awakening went straight to deep cover, skinny jeans wearing super-duper insider status on the night shift in Gruden XXV with a single post. And the response was epic.

Grudenmania is addictive and can cause, but not limited to: lack of sleep, giggle fits, craving e-cred, emotional roller coaster, alcohol consumption, belief in unicorns and Bigfoot and being happy one is stuck at a traffic light in order to catch up in the thread just a little bit.

Freak settled a harassment lawsuit out of court from lifeguards Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling today. When asked for a statement, the pair said "we got tired of having to save the same people over and over and over again when they were claiming to be drowning in the hot tub. And got tired of being treated like a piece of meat. We have feelings and just wanted to be held sometimes. To be accepted for who we are and not some fantasy male." Daniela Lopez Osorio quoted as saying "those two need to sack up and get over it. Do you know how many times I've had my picture posted by that squints guy?"

Applications are being accepted for the new lifeguard staff at this time.

Here's a shout out to the Night Shift Crew. You know the deal.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

Beave has turned this into problem solving equations, CSI Knoxville, and everything in between. I'm not smart enough for this.

Well what he said is the most interesting to date.
One or two prominent Grads not mentioned would connect some dots. These arent the usual suspects. But it makes alot of sense where this might be coming from. Someone here knows who I am talking about. I know I'm gonna get flamed for not saying.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

The Castor Ventures thing was brought up as soon as Bubba and Beaver showed up, which was very early in these threads. It was discussed thoroughly. Castor=Beaver, but the beaver is also the MIT mascot. Bubba mentioned a certain VC firm in Silicon Valley that was involved in the negotiations, then went on to mention Castor Ventures specifically. He also mentioned that Gruden was offered a hefty sum, but not all of it was in the form of cash. If you haven't read all of Bubba's posts you should go back. He's dropped some bigger nuggets than Beaver imo.

 

[Harvester]

Bring on the plane over Neyland on Saturday now.

 

[OldTimer]

I'm guessing that VC money is somehow a part of the coaching equation?

I'm think the VC money goest to the a academic side of the UT making them happy........and also a good cause.

If all this goes down the way it theoretically is playing out, it’s a win win for the entire University and we become a model institute....and then athletics starts printing even more money for academics.

Exactly. But there are always risks.

Lets poke it with a stick.

Thanks for the update everyone that provides it. I love sleep, but really hate going to sleep.


All aboard the train everyone.



SOON.

That's why I've been questioning my sanity. From my foxhole the battlefield wasn't familiar. Lol.

I could tell you stories better than any war movie and you may not belive them. This was like a few movies I've watched all in one. Many people stated "better than any book or movie." This had everything but a murder..VN, no murder. Murder bad.

I'm out once murder gets involved.

 

[apevol]

Why isn't there any murder?

 

[patrick]

I thought someone posted that the Haslams were a thumbs up on Gruden..... The above post says the opposite....

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Good morning all! Make it a great day. Be awesome in everything you do. No half way, no easing up. Full throttle.

Did you wake up giggley?

 

[RagingOrange]

Theres been lots of character murder...that count?

 

[Jake]

Exactly. But there are always risks.

Sure. But you gotta gamble to be successful, right?
