In all fairness, I have followed these boards for years. I had an acct. several years back, but marriage and a baby slowed down my participation. As time moved on, I forgot all login info and wasn't gonna let these Gruden threads slide by without me being present.

We're all anonymous here (mostly), but we're all Vols and a family when it's all said and done.

About the jump-in, meet me under the scoreboard at 03:00 EST. The booze may be in full-effect, but I'll bring a sack full of Krystal's.

Booze and Krystal's? I'm in. We'll forego the formal jumping in.

Use the advanced search feature on the main VolNation.com page. I was able to track my involvement that way, back to Gruden III. :)

OK, it's pretty obvious that I'm stuck on stupid with this one. I'm on advanced search, I have my username in the Search by Username box, I have Find Posts by User (I didn't start any Gruden threads), Exact Name is checked, Search Options are the defaults except that I clicked the "Show Results As" posts radio button, and it's still only the 100 most recent posts. I've also twiddled the date range without any real change.

What the @#$%^&* am I doing wrong?

--btw, this is not an OG thing. I have been trying to figure this out forever.

I'm here...and secure in my info. Most of it I let come out naturally. Things are running about a week behind at this point. I just try to be more judicious. I took a lot of heat when it went south last time.

Oh I know. It was brutal. People took it way too far and made it personal. I vanished for a while. Only because it was like when Scar took over Pride Rock. (I’m not ashamed to say the Lion King is my favorite Disney movie)Total depression. I knew we were in for some tough years.

If I can brag on you for a moment?

One of the things that impressed me most when Boro was taking his lumps afterwards was that without fail, when someone would unload on him, Boro would respond politely and finish with "God bless you."

Made an impression on me, because my grandmother taught me when I was little that when people said mean things to me she wanted me to smile and say "God bless you."

Sad to say that I think Boro did better by my grandmother than I have in that regard.

How did he "check out"?

Has nothing to do with believing you. I require more than "I like him" as a valid confirmation.

He had a backstory that seemed valid and realistic. He had interned there or worked there 3 years ago, I think. But he still had a friend there that he called and asked. He was so unassuming that it seems like I may have been the only one to notice and discuss it with him. Not the sign if a troll.

It's one thing for WNML to poopoo and refuse to talk about coaching changes, but it's another level of idiocy to claim Gruden isn't a good coach and isn't known for developing players. Good grief. If they'll let me through I'm going to call and blast Hyams for retweeting it.

don't call in and object or they will get really really mean and interrupt you when you try to have an opinion.

They talked over me when I said it seemed like the admin. is more interested in gender neutral pronouns than football.

Does anyone recall when Vol Reporter showed up back in '12? I know was "reporting" from the Grey Cup which is usually in late Nov.

I'm still not convinced VR & Beav aren't connected in some way given the reaction to their posts/tweets, etc.
