Official Jon Gruden Thread XXVI

[revjayp]

His account is locked and he has 200 followers. Doesn't really have much power.

It’s a way to speak to people not for them. That little @ symbol is powerful.

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.

Doubt it.

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

I saw they are gonna FINALLY move the walls back in the end zone areas.

Thank GOD

 

[UTVolinExile]

What time is that?

I think Atlanta may have mentioned but I forget. Dinner time I would guess.

 

[Vol4Life1313]

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

Ahh backdown agents, we have movement

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

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

Yeah that's what I meant just didn't articulate well. Appears phase 3 was eliminated and phase 1 and 2 expanded, which means money came quicker than anticipated.

 

[InVOLuntary]

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

I couldn't tell you. I've asked and he's always responded that he just won't get out of the way.

No its not. You really think Currie is on his phone reading his thousands of mentions he's getting every minute? Hell no.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

The athletic committee did, yes.

Thanks.

I would take that as a very positive sign that we may not be dealing with Coach Delbert McGoolemyname next season.
I mean why give the go ahead to upgrade a half empty stadium?

 

[revjayp]

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.

You can speak to anyone in the world with the @ symbol. How’s the Salisbury steak?

or before it's over..or during..or next year...

The private part is weird but you don’t have to follow someone to read their tweets when you are tagged in them. Currie can 100% read the Beavers tweets even though Currie doesn’t follow him.

Exactly. You do not approve a $400M athletic stadium renovation and then trot out a $3m coach to live in it.

Can you read them if you are mentioned in the tweet? I think that would be like tagging someone on Facebook even when they are not your 'friend'

 

[Ten_Titans]

If it makes you all feel better. This crazy roller coaster with the boosters of the past week didn't actually happen, and Gruden said no way back when Larry said he did.

 

[UTAlum03]

The powers that be meeting isn't until tonight.

Based on that fact and the fact that Beaver is twitting what he is now says to me that the meeting tonight is the last meeting to settle this power struggle once and for all.

Almost like a loser leave town grudge match.

It appears to me that the Beaver is applying final pressure before this meeting.

I'm still catching up here, but I also just noticed that the Beav's twitter has blown up in the last couple of hours. Giving Currie all out h*ll.

 

[Hammer85]

I have to be honest... and I want to believe, but I think MIT is full of ish.

Just have to say, would a multimillionaire with so much influence really give a **** about message boarding and twittering? Seems like it’s sophmoric.

He has been sent by the people behind all of this here to the message board to spread the message and incite people into doing things like #emptyNeyland in order to put pressure on UT to do what they are proposing.

Has nothing to do with why would a millionaire waste his time on a message board.

While I’m not in this exchange, I will say I’m one of the few who likes Salisbury steak.

If he is a messenger for the billionaire, and his job is to influence people, then yes, yes he would. Generally speaking, the more passionate portion of the fan base is located in message boards. Get them hooked just enough, and they will do all the talking you need.

He only has 250 or so followers. Why does he need more? His account is known enough, once again on a large, free, public message board, to get screenshots taken of what he says and then posted here. No need for 100k followers if he can spread his message just as easy with 200.

A spark can start a fire, how much fuel is behind it will determine how long and hot it will burn.

And you can direct message each other on Twitter.

 

[revjayp]

You're going to irritate some baby boomers.

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

Me too! Lol.

 

[BubbaWms]

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

and you do some crazy stuff in the Wendy's thread....you and Joe bring it on !

Lets troll them good in the Gruden thread Joe.
