Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

[Halph66]

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.

That would be legendary!

I thought it was determined that DP is no longer associated with UT. DP said he doesn't live in Tennessee anymore and I don't recall a dollar amount stated that Ergen gives. He just said Ergen has given the same amount each year for 10 years. Maybe SfD can verify?

I couldn't say 100%. As I've said, I immediately discount anyone who suggests gruden is a pipe dream, because I know he isn't. Everything else said isn't worth remembering.

Drive on your cousin’s highway quite often.

Not for free though :}:}:}:} Am I right :}:}:}

 

[VolNExile]

I've expressed my view and I'll leave it at that. I've lost 2 friends this year from depression, none of them could have been predicted.

I completely understand and agree. It's just tough with limited options on a message board. (Had a suicide threat on another board where I was a moderator.)

Edit to add: you're a good friend to be concerned. Never dismiss a threat or concern for suicide.

In one of deerparks posts he said an annual donation of $50,000 I will try to find it if I can

Nantucket/new England lines up with the name I heard a couple of weeks ago for OC.

And I would think Gruden would like to have OC and DC nailed down before the announcement.

 

[fishing Vol]

Waffle House. It's a BYOB event. Then, the azz whoopings commence in the parking lot when we're good and lit.

Bring Your Own Billionaire.

Never mind. 10 pages behind. lol

Certainly one on the list.

 

[WhiteRhino]

Are you truly a Templar?

define truly......

 

[DynaLo]

Sponsorship does not pay for new buildings and labs and research etc. as suggested by Beaver

Advertising partnerships go through IMG College/The Vol Network, which in turn has a contract with UT to handle all of that in addition to coaching endorsements.

 

[VFLnSFD]

Certainly one on the list.

You must've heard the same name.

 

[Hawkpilot]

Hawk as a side note..Know anyone that was stationed in Guam. What life is like there..Family about to be headed there

No. My wife's grandpa in WW2...but I expect it's changed since then lol.

 

[Stoked]

google translation ... i cracked up a little.


Spider Two and Plantain. A hill. Soon.

Lol close. Platano is banana (at least in Mexico, some Spanish speaking countries have other names for it) and the Y picked up as "and" in your translate. To the hill or at the hill... and of course SOON. Because we all know it's soon.

 

[VolFan32]

Certainly one on the list.

Go on... Haha

 

[revjayp]

It's the staff, I bet.

Oooh. Good call.

 

[Volnbeers]

oh god...here we go with the wink wink nod nod **** again

 

[Legendary]

Certainly one on the list.

I’ll be in Knoxville today. Let’s meet at Sapphire. Drinks on me

 

[jb865]

Who was the past Tennessee coach that gruden supposedly contacted about coaching with him at Tenn last week?

 

[VFLnSFD]

oh god...here we go with the wink wink nod nod **** again

The only reason I hesitate to say it aloud is that it sounds completely absurd.

 

[MaTaLa]

I completely understand and agree. It's just tough with limited options on a message board. (Had a suicide threat on another board where I was a moderator.)

Yes, having worked in the helping professions for yrs the content and tone of his posts didn't escape me. However, there's only so much one can do online.
Hawk tried to engage him with, iirc, little response.
Something tells me that if I was in a bad spot I'd love to have Hawk watching my back.

Wish I could....thanks for the invitation.

 

['Boro-vol]

oh god...here we go with the wink wink nod nod **** again

Not really. I'll say it....Josh McDaniels has been mentioned as a member of the staff.

 

[EZE]

Belichick.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Gruden was just spotted drinking orange juice with breakfast. All his coach are belong to us
