Boro, could you issue a decision whether I merit OG status? Was there in 2012 of course but not as active as many OGs in the official threads. I did worry early and often that Hart would screw it up in 2012. Have maintained Gruden faith throughout although did want Butch to succeed after he arrived and I Googled him.

Faith is not necessarily required, but your purpose cannot have been to troll the faithful.

I would give you a nod....and I won't hold your opinion of Butch against you.

I think we need to set a criteria for OG usage. One can only be an OG ( my term, I made it up) if you were part of this madness in 2012...preferably in Gruden Thread I. Not saying you aren't Deezy, just trying to set some guidelines.

Beyond that you're a Grudenite, or disciple of Gruden...make up your own name.

OG should be a position of distinction...we've taken a lot of ish.

Can you still be an OG if you lurked in 2012 but never posted? I've been lurking since Gruden II, but never posted until this year.

Well I am sitting in his tickets provided by the athletic dept, so with some bourbon confidence I will ask the people I am sitting next to for some details.

I think knowing what his role in the AD is would determine if asking him why he had to stay back would be a valuable piece of info. What does he do?

A 20 year investment is tough for me to walk away from.

On Gruden, things are still locked down on the AD front, but I was told again yesterday the only thing he knew was it is not Gruden and he has no other names. Either it's still only known by the top three or so people, or everyone in the department has been threatened not to leak. Things are definitely being run very different from the last time.

Everything else I've heard is similar to what others have reported, and it varies wildly. One thing I'm confident in is if anyone, at this moment, says they've heard anything concrete from the AD other than "it's not Gruden," that person is either a liar or John Currie.

I keep seeing people talking about DP, and saying stuff like "well, he was just a dick to the rest of us."

Yeah, he was, but what no one is really saying, and I'm not sure why, is that DP got called out for inconsistent information. There were internally inconsistent assertions in his post here, as well as inconsistencies with previous posts of his.

Lots of people are dicks, and that doesn't mean their info is bad. DP was bringing flawed content, and THAT'S why he was called out so harshly here.

Stop kidding yourself, it's because the information wasn't what they wanted to hear. Simple as that.

That is where I am torn, he's not making any type of big decisions. But he rubs shoulders with these people every single day. He is more in the ****** department.

I just posted it to be funny but for the record I lurked before and became an official member of VN in 2012 because of Gruden. I was neck deep in belief last time but I don't have inside knowledge like you though

Can we get Freak to convert Lurker years of service into regular years? What's the conversion rate...

Knowledge is not necessary. I can only grant you conditional status however, in lieu of your inability to prove the length of your devotion.

The business cards give you bonus points for enthusiasm. Extra points awarded for use of Daniella.

Welcome aboard.

Shoot if we're handing out OG titles, I was there in 2012 and a believer. I swear to this day I saw Gruden in the football complex back then. Lol

Well, I did know at the home OK game that Butch didn't have football Saturdays figured out. And Florida the week after sealed it. The legacy classes made it look like he had handle on Mon - Fri but now we know he really didn't.

I'll take OG status if granted. I was on the OG team on another site. Jake brought me over here to the "good guys", and I've never looked back.
