Official Jon Gruden Thread XXIX

[windrider]

Gotta say having JP here made this thread even better. One of my favorite posters

Agree here.

 

[norriscraftbasser]

Yes, the coach at South Pitt. The reporter for the Chatt newspaper reported it. He mentioned it a couple weeks ago in a tweet as well.

I know someone that is very close to Grider, V.G knows what is going on. Definitely has been in contact with JG.

 

[VFLnSFD]

That is crazy cool. Now I feel like there's a whole pocket of cool new people to get to know. Like opening a Christmas present two months early. :hi:

It is good and important that you retain that attitude in here.

 

[Coastypop]

Unfortunate that some have found their way here..........

Gruden picking up steam.... many will claim there were all along....but only lurking :thud:

 

[TenUhSee]

He is coming.

what kind of Vol "fan" would not want Gruden as the head coach ? sure makes ya wonder doesn't it ?

 

[SSVol]

Haha. Yes. I've heard enough beaver jokes to last any woman 15 lifetimes.

But in fairness, that's about three or four...

 

[knucklehead_vol]

that's so sad.

Where have you been this time.... we had some epic arguments in 2012 ... I miss that

Kind of like when you have a toothache and it goes away ... and you start hitting it to see if it's real

Remind me who ended up being correct in 2012?

 

[MountainDooley]

He was on his way to CU but then we called.

Wish he had let that one go to voicemail...

About as many who claim to have been at the 98 Florida game

 

[Hawkpilot]

There are others, but they fly under the radar. Sugarlandvol for 1.

Many others

 

[Halph66]

It's a matter of perspective..... Butch Jones hired instead of Jon Gruden..... are you positive they were wrong??

Sometimes it's true

Wow.

So there is a community-within-the-community, a Gruden following, that has existed quietly and somewhat isolated for five years here?

This is absolutely fascinating. How many in the inner circle? We talking a dozen, or a hundred, generally speaking? Just rough order of magnitude.

And have you been talking about Gruden being Tennessee's next coach seriously for five years?

No sarcasm, no kidding, I seriously find this fascinating.

I believe there were about 5-7 people who knew he was coming in 2012 and many of us latched on to it. When it didn’t happen, they took a beating on Volnation and were scarce. Those who felt jilted, said so and now suffer from BVS and Butthurtness and refuse to let it go. Those of us who believed our AD screwed it up, sat back and watched a male lesbian take our team down the crapper and called him out for it. After Ga, the thread became alive and all of a sudden there was a reunion of former OGs and believers. Then, as Botch continued to ,well, Botch things up Grudens name began to come up and some of the same
Guys began to hear the rumblings again. We all latched on, and over the coursed the past month, some new insiders, great intellectual thinkers and the original OGs begin to realize more had been happening over the past 5 years than we’d known. That this shift back to becoming elite as a football team AND a university had been coming together thanks to the effort of boosters who decided Boss Hogg no longer needed to run Hazzard County and it was not just a wish but was becoming a reality. We then realized that Gruden wasn’t/isn’t the prize, he’s a piece to the entire puzzle. He’s the one who will make TN football greater than it’s possibly ever been, and in the meantime, the university as a whole will benefit thus the prize is really the shift of power from old money to fresh, new vision. And with that, here we are.... make sense?

I actually was. Student section. Couldn't talk for 3 days afterward.

 

[Squints]

Professional beaver = Hooker

Just because it's used a lot doesn't mean it's any good.

Quantity does not equal quality.

I think we all severely underestimate how many "lurkers" have been on this thread for weeks.

People are hopeful. They want good news. They've been burned too many times in the past to say they're in, but they're here.

 

[revjayp]

There he is. Eeyore himself. Glad your back buddy.

 

[rltw1974]

What trying to put all the pieces and insider information together looks like.

 

[volquest86]

Didn't beav have location as Inn on Friday?..Or some discussion about this?

Yes he did. It's harder for me to actual prove he was here other than the room was under Cindy's name. I assume they were here together...this place is ideal for family/couples to visit. top notch spa and what not.

 

[Coastypop]

Be glad his name wasn't Richard...

It is to some of the un-balanced ones in this thread

I was there, in X4 with my best friend and lifetime vol fan, who sadly is no longer with us.

As was I. Was sitting under the V in the upper deck of the south end zone. Knew we won a fraction of a second before everyone else, since I was perfectly in line to see UF's field goal hook and miss left.

 

[TenUhSee]

SIAP, but Beaver's Twitter Location is now:

Gator Creek Golf Club

It's a Golf Course about a hour south of Tampa

the "beaver" is either legit or some guy or kid laughing his azz off about doing this. we shall see.

even so, there is too much smoke about Gruden to ignore that doesn't have anything to do with "beaver" one way or another.
