Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[DownTheField]

the mighty stinky trolling beaver...can't stop saying stupid infantile ish and it doesn't even matter because all those twitterers eat it all up...all 250 of them...i'm sure john currie is so intimidated by this high rolling behavioral game theorist

 

[volfan1631]

Botch is with Haslam

I don't think he brings too much to the table to help him

 

[patrick]

Where is Thornton in all of this?

he has lost some of his thunder of the last decade

 

[Hawkpilot]

100%. 74M over original budget due to "new donors stepping up" per Currie.

So I can sleep..is that a boom?

 

[UTVolinExile]

I don't see MIT's tweets as evidence of a Haslam win. Just another salvo at Haslam in a series of shots more or less across his bow:
1. Davenport's decision on outsourcing
2. The BoT vote today on the revised renovations
3. MIT's tweets

All building to
4. Tonight's booster meeting

Possible nugget: Atlanta Vol & Beav both went inactive within min of each other and haven’t been back on. I’ve been monitoring their activity for days. One or the other is usually active around this time of day. Now both silent.

You've been monitoring their activity for days?...... I thought I had a problem

 

[BubbaWms]

Where is Thornton in all of this?

he kind of likes the VOLS....only paid a million to run thru the T

 

[SmokeyLives]

Sorry, guys, I've just been skimming along to get caught up have a question.
Am I correctly understanding that they voted on and approved funds for stadium upgrades?

Yes sir! The major boosters are “Centennial” contributors.

 

[bigmac]

Hummmm... What if they are the same person....

 

[gordonr24]

Go read something on the internet about the power of social media. As soon as your done eating dinner at Lubys.

You're going to irritate some baby boomers.

But...I will admit that I like cafeteria food.

Boom...well played!

 

[Charlie Kelly]

Stadium renovation budget gets upgraded today due to new booster money. Deal to funnel more research opportunities and funding into the academic side was alluded to by Bubba a few days back. Ergen has the support of every major booster except Haslam. It seems like Ergen has his bases covered unless I'm missing something. Currie siding with Haslam at this point is basically career suicide.

Soon...

 

[volfan1631]

Not only approved, but also increased funds by 73 millions by help from the new centennial boosters.

Phase 1 was increased but overall budget was decreased by 9 million

 

[EZE]

Tennessee's Athletic Dept makes The White House look like a stable place to work.

Congress, too.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

People that I know and trust tell me that Big Jim won't get out of the way. I know they are big boosters. I've been over there with them on multiple occasions. I don't however think that they are sabotaging the school or the football program. I honestly think that they think anything they do is in the best interest of the university. I'm just not sure their decisions are always wise ones.

I don't have intel that they are sabotaging this. I do think he's holding up the "official" firing of Butch. I'm not sure why. I don't think Butch's presence has any direct influence on the Gruden deal.

What is his problem? Does he just not want a coach in here who he couldn't control?

 

[LifeisO&W]

I expect that VQ and here will be ablaze with information tonight around 10-11 PM EST. Once that meeting is over, there is no telling what we will begin to hear.

 

[TruVolGritt]

Are you going to give us shower training

You have no idea at the flood of bad memories you just brought back .......as I curl into the fetal position in a dark closet!
PLEASE GET GRUDEN!!!

What time is that?

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I'd say k elly. If I'm guessing.

Kelly was my first guess too. Mullen also came to mind as being someone that UT and UF could want but I don’t think he’s a “wow” hire.

 

[river rat]

So since you are apparently a political rain man, what gives you such a vast upper hand when discussing politics?

Just a guy who folows state politics closely outside VN and Gruden threads.

But, soon!

 

[JFreak]

I mean you do have > 50k posts on a message board.

i assume the extra $73 mil is going towards putting the Hooters in neyland

Go read something on the internet about the power of social media. As soon as your done eating dinner at Lubys.

How much power does social media have when your tweets are protected and the person you’re making veiled threats to isn’t one of your followers and thus can’t read them?

I’ll eagerly await your reply while enjoying my Lubys.
