Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

[volquest86]

I live and from Asheville. Gruden stayed at the Grove Park this past Friday night before making his way into Knoxville. Doesn’t really have much weight other than he kicked it in a really nice place .... worked there for 3 years during summer break in college

If we get the right coach it will all work out with or without Mays.

True

Comfirmed?

I'm proud of all of us, collectively, in our emotional growth. We are 35 minutes from a press conference and no one is talking about any sort of expectations from that.

The die has been cast.

I mentioned yesterday my Dawg family members bombarding me with this crap. Here's the thing. They are the hugest Dawg homers there are. They completely ignore all relevant facts contrary to what they want to hear. I laid it out to them this way. They ALWAYS crow about who they are gonna get, and I never do. I ALWAYS hedge when I talk recruiting with them. And I finally had to say "look, I never ever tell you guys definitively who we are or aren't going to get. But Cade Mays will NOT be playing for the Dawgs in Athens next year. "

"But he wants to play with Salyers..."

"Not happening."

"But we just got 2 crystal balls for Mays..."

"Not happening."

"But we get his last visit..."

NOT HAPPENING.

I finally just had to stop talking and walk away. They literally refuse to process any fact that doesn't fit their narrative.

Can't choose your family though. Still love em.

Let them know that you heard Cade is actually an undercover plant to convince their recruits to come to Tennessee when the new head coach is announced. That should make them fret a bit anyway.

So I get home a little late after some Tuesday “discussion” with the boys(Elmer T Lee was there). Anyhow, I walk in the house, my wife looks at me and says angrily....”DRUNK AGAIN!” To which I replied, “YES!!! ME TOO”.

Siesta Key is definitely in the top 5 beaches in Florida along with Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, Remmington Beach and Anna Maria area.

But for the most gorgeous women and partying I suggest South Beach by far!

You mean Redington?

 

[MiramarVol]

you would go to ft. Rucker for around 12-18 months to complete all the training, then go back to your normal life and be assigned to that unit

wocs

Like Preston Williams did at Auburn?

i hadn't even thought about it til you said this.
apathy is probably a better description for me than emotional growth.
thanks for the compliment tho.

 

[lateknight]

We're gonna find out that the Beav is either Gruden himself or someone in his direct entourage. That would be hilarious if Gruden is announced and says told you there would be a surprise Volnation.

When discussing the Mays decommit with Mr. SFD last night, we were wondering if Gruden might be wanting a bunch of kids to decommit. That way he gets to go pick his own instead of dealing with all the offers that have already been made.

If that's the case we are in position to flip Lawrence to UT from Clemson. That would relieve some of the sting.
Mays may be favoring Pittman to develop him at UGA.

 

[Coastypop]

I’m just sleepy, but I can’t put down the easy cheese.

It's good.... somebody got to work and pay the bills... I keep my wife working and I just look out the window for Gruden

 

[I40VOL]

Let me know who his instrucotr pilot's are at Rucker. You'd be surprised at how small the Blackhawk community is.

i have a brother in law that was stationed in Ft Rucker 20 plus years ago, then in Jackson Tn, served a tour in Afganastan as a Blackhawk piolt, now he is in Redstone in Huntsville as a test maintenance pilot. Not long til he retires

I have been too emotionally detached since Fulmer to give a rat's azz about the subsequent hires, or what they have to say. Butch is a pre-school teacher, Dooley was a hygienist, and Kiffin was a California surfing d-bag.

 

[Stoked]

Arana dos Y platano. A la colina.

Pronto.

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Have we discussed/decided what clues Beav is supposedly giving us by changing his location? We've had Asheville, Nantucket, Busch gardens, and now Sarasota. I believe these were also his hotel recs.

If his next stop is Atlanta, the first letters could spell out Saban. LoL

I know that a lot of major deals have been brokered over a game of golf...

 

[VolsCigarMan]

You mean Redington?

yes sorry for the misspell. Redington is nice beach too and where I normally go. You can find parking more easier there than Clearwater Beach which is always jam packed and no parking.

 

[amarcus07]

Damn girl, in most states, that's grounds for a divorce. Did you marry a Dawg fan for his money :}:}:}

Of course not. Money was already in the family!

Squints is a straight shooter. Never have to guess where he stands. :good!:

 

[SmokeyLives]

Did any body catch Gruden on Mike and Mike this morning? I didn’t and was just curious about it.....

 

[WhiteRhino]

Kiss my what?

 

[Sara Clark]

Apparently the bet is back up on betonline.ag. On mobile so can’t check myself.

Yes, he's moved to +250 now

 

[DuckRiverVol]

Ainge is not in on it at least that’s what he’s saying. And maybe he’s mad to say that.

I cannot hear the media right now...

Completely useless.
