Ain't gonna be any ifs...dancing in the streets what i'm talking about. UT is the master of hype anyway. Can't even begin to imagine.

I don't think you understand how any of this works.

I don't think you understand or anyone who thinks gruden has signed and is looking for a staff....That's impossible..... Have to fire BJ first

That's why Fla went ahead and fired mcelw to go ahead with it

Bringing Dale back would be amazing. In other news, today’s team looks like 12 year olds compared to Jones in that picture. Don’t we feed these boys?

I grew up and played a little with Greg Jones. He joined UT as linebacker in '75 and I recall him as starter in 77-78 if I'm not mistaken. No relation to Dale. Ignont on team 121 looks like the real deal if he can stay healthy and leave the vine alone.

Real damn good people round here. Most of 'em likely just to give you the wood to get rid of something they no longer have an interest in. Bout done quit farming and that's how I grew up. It's a shame in a lot of ways but I'm old school to the hilt and can't change. It's laughable if I went into it but it's just my preference. Talk to ya today a little later.

Right now I'm just selling raw boards and beams. Eventually when I open my store I will have shop tools again.

Most use commercial grade grizzly planets that are 220v triple phase.

Gonna give you a shout out, he has a thread in the zone. He posts pictures of some of his work, it’s fun to follow.

You should only be worried if you don’t know how to drive a car with 3 pedals, don’t own a tailored suit, or drink your whiskey with ice cubes in it.

I got all three down, as long as the whiskey is Ole Smokey Salted Caramel! 😎

When people start talking about paying the next head coach in bit coin, it means you're in the midst of psychopathic lunatics.

Bit Coins are a commodity much like stock in a company the value can change but it certainly has value.

Man I just don't have any negative vibes about Gruden coming. The problem I'm having is I done forgot how to act after these years of long suffering. Heck he may not have ever been a college head coach but neither had Kirby Smart 2 years ago. The signs are becoming more and more visible. My grudometer never got below 75 once I dug in and started reading between the lines and now I'm at 85-90. I've been let down before but I'm not as gullible as I used to be. Just too many things fitting together in a neat fashion and no or few things out of line.

I feel for Butch though and I think the AD is gonna do all they can to help him out. I've bashed him pretty bad a few times but his intent was/is good. Time moves fast and a lot of pressure put on performance. Football ain't poker where you can ride out a bad run of cards. You gotta play what you got every hand in football. It's this injury shat that needs to be looked into. It's not normal and attempting to force feed players just out of high school a sophisticated offense that requires all players to know every detail when you continually changing their position is too demanding IMO.

Tell you what...we get JJ back and keep T.Byrd in that slot and our RB's and CJG helping our QB's in a new system we could have a pretty good offense next year. A whole lot of posters are seeing the same thing I'm seeing and that's getting T.Lawrence from Catersville,Ga. to commit to UT. There's a couple of good OLineman left. I think JG percieves it as a challenge and that's right down his alley. I'll look you up later TenUhSee. Grude nite.:rock:

I don’t own a tailored suit and I don’t drink whiskey anymore. Just a normal ol dude that grew up in a double wide. I worked a factory job and odds and ends jobs to pay for my college education while attending. I don’t have a lot, but I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve ever had. I have a beautiful wife and a little girl on the way. That’s what makes me feel rich. No doubt you’re a great guy Beaver, but possessions aren’t everything.

Come on man...they explained this in a thread XXVIII as I recall. Talked about MOU's. I suggest you go back and read some of it. Politely the fellow told you that you don't know how this works and you can have two binding agreements in place simultaneously. Don't respond to this cause I know you are wrong and I'm going to explain in not so polite manner.

It's just really hard work. I take them down by hand so as to salvage ad much as possible. Between the weather and the physicality it's hard to keep people. Or they want to imbibe while working lol.

Hired a couple of local guys to help. They lasted 1 day because they couldn't do without a beer for a few hours. Lol

My insurance won't cover it if they get hurt and most landowners don't like it either. The guy I'm working for now is a country music star from way back. Great guy but he is pretty straight laced and I know if he caught someone drinking in my job then it wouldn't be my job anymore lol.

Plus it's too dangerous to be doing that stuff around these old buildings, too many ways to get hurt.

That's cool. My FIL is an upstager for bands of all kinds. He spent a long time with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. He used to send my family swag from whoever he was hauling gear for. My MIL doesn't like it because he's gone all but a few weeks a year. He's been OTR for around 30 years, it's all he knows. Personally, I don't mind hard, physical work, especially if it's doing something outside the trade I'm currently in because I like new experiences. I'm 35 and haven't done much traveling and my dad is retiring next year and I've been thinking about whether I wanted to stay where I am or start doing something else. I've been doing the same thing for the last 13 years and I'm burned out. My wife wants me to work here for 20 years and leave to get most of my 401 and move to the Midwest, around Wyoming or Montana. I'll die with a smile on my face working as long as it's a rewarding job, no matter how tough
