Very Cool! Mr. SFD would die if I said my family name on here so I won't. I still go to the reunion each year. My middle daughter was named for my great-uncle who was killed in WWII and he is buried there. She feels like a celebrity at the reunion, so I take her.

Haha. As a young kid I never understood the significance of the event. I definitely loved eating all the home cooked food, though! We used to always walk through the cemetery. Who knows, I probably came across you and your family at some point. I went every year until I was about 15 or 16. So, if you knew any Patton's or Hamilton's, that's my bloodline. Cool story SFD!

It's a really unique family heritage to have...our families gave their homes/farms/livelihoods to save the entire world. Very cool to share that with you!

Is it customary to put up a statue of a current coach? That seems a little pretentious and Sadam Husseinish..

Just that he was working on a surprise but it would take a couple of weeks. It was in the context of the discovery that he is following Daniela on twitter.

And the mess about a man always leaves a girl wanting more.

Also his hotel recommendations.

It's no big deal. Some think he's a troll and some think he's legit. I've maintained whatever he is, he's good at it. Last night he wasnt. IMO.

Anyone think Cade Mayes leaving vols will force the end to jones a little sooner than planned to try to keep him. I know Cade was planning on being an early enroll at UT if he signed. with early signing this year that would put him in the Dec signing.

It’s actually pretty simple - career management. local media in a market the size of Knoxville are either moving through on their way to a bigger market or settling in to their niche. If it’s the latter, they can’t or don’t want to upset the powers that be at the largest economic and news driver in the market. So they stay “on script”.

What does it say about our media - sports, news, etc. - that truth is not the primary objective, but that sponsors, revenues, career advancement are the primary objectives in delivering content. Does anyone wonder why social media has taken off?

It's funny the Nega Grudes come on this thread just to say he's not coming. Well ask any of them WHY?. Most have not much to say other than he has it made at MNF and he has Gruden QB Camp Oh and could coach in the NFL.

About 80% or better have no clue about whats going on at ESPN and other places in NFL. For those nay sayers I'd like to try to help you understand why he would come to UT.

1. ESPN is going broke
2. NFL is no longer watched by 1,000's cause the POS in the NFL are not greatful to the Great American Flag what it stands for and those who died for it.
3. Gruden is not having a QB Camp this year its already been waxed by ESPN due to money.
4. MNF is leaving ESPN to a diff network (Again ESPN) is going broke.
5. Cindy is from UT
6. Jon's Son goes to UT.
7 Cindy wants to move back to Tn
8. The Gruden family just bought a freaking huge house in knoxville thats not for just his son.
9 Jon said UT was his Dream Job
10. It didn't happen in 2012 cause of several reasons
10 A. Timing wasn't right
10 B. Jon had just signed a new MNF contract.
10 C. Haslam was in the way.
10 D. The money wasn't there for the Assistants.
10 E. AD at the time wouldn't give Jon the Control he wanted.
11. It's Freaking Tennessee that's why
12. This time Charlie Ergen has been working for 5 years gainnning more and more money, backing, lining up boosters, and getting ready to push the Haslams out so they stop making UT the Knoxville Browns.
13. He's Chucky.
14. He's been to the NFL already
15. The man lives and breathes UT, Hell he even has orange hair.
16 AGAIN IT"S TENNESSEE
17. TENNESSEE is the only college he would coach.
18. Unlike 2008, 2012 Gruden has not denied it one time this time and Grumors are everywhere, If he didn't want it to happen he would have already stopped the Grumors and said he didn't want the job.
19. Gruden has been in Knoxville more in the last month than he has in 5 years.
20. UTAD Plane has made several trips to Florida last couple weeks

This is all public knowledge but yet its all being kept hush hush and no one will talk about it. If I'm wrong I'm wrong I know nothing more than anyone else, but anyone can add 2 and 2

The beaver cares for us. He promises to give us a treat and then starts following the lovely Daniela on twitter. No way does he bring us Daniela. Or does he???

If anything Cade decommiting further solidifies the face that Jones will not be back since Cade thinks highly of Butch and would like to see him return
Click to expand...

I don't think that's why he decommited. He decommited because he wants to win championships and he doesn't feel like that is the goal of the university.

It is partially why. I agree with you about the championships but I also know Cade thinks very highly of Butch
