That’s cool. My grandmother grew up in Wheat ... had to do her senior year in high school at Harriman because her family got evacuated. Went to a few Wheat Homecomings as a kid. Neat to hear from someone else with ties to the community!

My mother's family were in Wheat until they were relocated.

If Butch is really lobbying for his job and trying to influence the players by shooting off his mouth like that he needs to be gone yesterday.

Do they not remember that he shopped himself around for another job last year?

If he is doing those things it's because he thinks he can't get another gig, not because he loves the school.

He is only as loyal as his options.

The Grude News, the afternoon edition. For those just joining us...

Little earlier today (or later depending on your perspective) since I'm heading down for yet another basketball game this evening. The old four letter word WORK.

Well, emotions went from "NO! OMG! OMG! OMG!" to "YES! OMG! OMG! OMG!" yesterday and today. Bounced all over the place like a superball getting hit with a jackhammer for a while, but seemed this afternoon to settle into a standard equilibrium of positivity (did that make me sound smart?). This could be in part by Boro taking a drive to Mexico to purchase an entire truckload of Prozac for the collective forum. He was stopped by Customs and Border Patrol coming back through, but instead of getting jacked up, was sent on his way since the Officer was also a UT grad that completely understood what we were going through and said "have a Grude one" on his way out.

Basilio and Ainge continue to carry enough water for Jones to fill Lake Michigan. Just. Can't. See. The. Writing. On. The. Wall. I mean, c'mon guys, even Hubbs is wavering. Pretty soon even Hyams will be on the train. As soon as Finebaum proclaims Jones is gone and Gruden to the Hill, what will you do then?

Anyway, still no significant, life altering news so to speak. But many still think the deal is in the final stages or finished up. Lots of chatter on VN and TOS...ses about the current situation. What is the plural of TOS? TOSSes? TOSi? Anyway, most of which appears that everything is heading in the right direction. Even those adamantly opposed before are starting to waver. More people allegedly close to the "inside" continue to pop up, but many just cannot be vetted to an extent. This is NOT saying what they are claiming as untrue, but "friend of a friend" kind of posts aren't easy to nail down for veracity, so please don't take offense at what I just said if you are one of those bringing info to the table.

Beaver continues to play games and toy with quite a few emotions. Promised a nice gift in a few days. We could use a Daniela drive by or a nice fruit basket. Or a Chris Hemsworth cameo for the ladies of this thread, but who knows with that cat. No other news on that one post from last night. Though apparently could be either Harry Dunne or Lloyd Christmas based on his locations provided so far. "No, it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing."

It was rumored Gruden was in Ashville last week and allegedly traveled to Knoxville from there. Some super sleuthing work going into this one.

Otherwise, no real substantial "BOOM!" news or silly canary eating grins from the normal insider crew. Or additional eye rolling from DeerPark.

So, off topic is the word of the day(s) for the most part. We're waiting, some impatient, some patiently, but just waiting for everything to run its course.

I'd love to give some additional B Roll footage (remember that, trolls?) for this update, but it's hard to nail down that one single topic that caught our goldfish attention span for more than three posts.

But it's still two days and a wake up for Doyle's trash pick up. And his Grudometer going bye-bye forever. What Doyle doesn't realize is that thing is like a poltergeist. It will reappear in his home before it's all said and done.

In other news today, construction of the Grude 1 yacht is complete, however, there are problems with registering it. Corporate lawyers HearForGrumors and ClearWaterVol gave a statement saying "the committee is being obstinate and a whole bunch of other nasty lawyer terms and we're going to fight them." When Volnation News reached out to the registry committee, they gave the following comments.

"We'd love to rubber stamp this one, but when your ship is larger than the country of San Marino, we kind of have a problem with registering it as a hobby craft. We'd dearly love to work with Mister Freak, but the Waffle House extension just puts it over the top. Maybe if you reduced the size of the tailgating area and left off the Olive Garden annex, we could give it an official registry. But at the moment, we have to decline any request or have them apply to the UN to become an island nation."

Freak is considering the latter option.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

Nice!!!!

So if there was a room registered to Cindy, that means beaver knew Gruden was there (since he posted the pic of Grove Park).

I have seen nowhere else any rumors of Gruden being in Asheville. I really do not think beaver could have just gotten lucky on that guess. This may be the biggest indicator the beaver really does know things.

I've been removed from working there 10 years but still have very good reliable contacts that could care less about football (finance nerds lol) so have no reason to make anything up or even know why I was asking. So i do believe what he said is indeed true...an actual pic would be icing tho

 

[crparker21]

So only those that are willing to believe are allowed here?


If so BYE!

What's up Bruin, good to have you in here for discussion. I enjoyed it back in 2012. Some get upset with people coming in and calling everybody idiots. Healthy discussion is always welcome.

Why are we keeping Butch so long if it cost UT more money each month?

Because Currie has been drinking that Butch juice ever since he arrived on campus. Teflon Butch's motivational speeches and quotes are getting stale but they still miraculously are having an effect on the AD.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Trying to catch up has me stressed to the max!

 

[Coastypop]

but i really have been lurking! don't know what to think about the coaching search, hell I dont even know if they're gonna fire Butch. I just hope we can get back on top before I die (in my 40's)

I remember you from 2012 .... hang around my friend and post just to let us knw you are here

 

[TenUhSee]

I hope this isn't related but there is a male Teacher in chattanooga that is missing.

Ive been put awhile. Did anybody ever hear from Charlie?

As a former senior staff member of the Daily Beacon, I am pretty disappointed in that headline. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual story, which is pretty bad on its own.

 

[FloridaSucks]

Does anyone else find Rucker’s incessant denials strange? Wasn’t he on the staff with Hargis back in 2012? And now his coworkers at 247 have acknowledged there is real smoke, even Danny Parker who had previously given it a 0% chance. What would make Rucker so obstinate in the face of all that?

That doesn't make sense. I thought we discussed this before and it is the other way around. He is owed on buyout for every year he has left and the monthly would be prorated. The buyout would be more if we fire now vs. December.

 

[Keyser Soze]

1. Atlanta Vol has not only been very accurate in recruiting news but is a multi-million $ booster with very real access to the program.

2. Beaver is a UT fan, he has said this in past posts as well as other things that have been said or deduced, he's as much as a UT fan as you or me.

Beaver is exactly who he says he is. He runs in circles of people in the know. He works in the field he said he does.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Using a fake name at that hotel is so very common, honestly there is no telling what "fake name" was used. I just know the room was originally book under Cindy for whatever that means. I mean when I worked there we had Willie Nelson (singer/actor), Will Patton (actor), Chris Daughtry (singer) and Kevin Costner (actor) all in one summer visit with all in poster names checking in

I can see that but I really doubt anyone is going to use Cindy Gruden as a fake name. I guess she could've been with friends and not Jon though.

 

[VFLnSFD]

That’s cool. My grandmother grew up in Wheat ... had to do her senior year in high school at Harriman because her family got evacuated. Went to a few Wheat Homecomings as a kid. Neat to hear from someone else with ties to the community!

Very cool!

 

[Sara Clark]

Someone said there was a room registered to Charles Lee Ray that night but I couldn't tell if he was serious or not. Are you saying there was a room registered to Cindy?
We know "Jon" didn't have a room there, thanks to Sara.

Dang, maybe if I hadn't drank the wine so fast I would have thought to ask about Cindy. Dang, Dang, double Dang!!!

 

[vollygirl]

that person was found safe

Bizarre.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Only confirmation I can put in is that the room was under Cindy's name. I would assume they traveled together

Note to self: Don't tryst at GPI.

 

[TenUhSee]

This has been my favorite part of the Gruden speculation. He has relationships at every level of the game and has been evaluating them with a critical eye for years.

this is spot on and without question validates how Gruden's staff would be nothing less than world class.

 

[AmoebaVol]

Very cool!

Yeah — was getting caught up on posts and noticed another person who responded to you earlier. HAS to be one of my cousins, because he was talking about my grandmother. Funny.

 

[VFLnSFD]

My mother's family were in Wheat until they were relocated.

So many of us!
