When I worked at State Department, many years ago, we used to have a certain number of exclusive resorts around Washington, DC, and New York City that we would use for sensitive meetings where discretion was key. Places out in the countryside of Maryland and Connecticut, like that.

Never heard of Blackberry Farm before today, but it seems to be a resort of that nature. Makes perfect sense for a meeting of key boosters and university leadership to be held there if the desire is to keep things close-hold.

Lamar Alexanders wife was involved in getting it started up I believe. Other folks would know more than I do.

If something was going on at blackberry farm this weekend, I’d know about it. Nothing going on.

Past weekend or two, I think, not this weekend.

Plus, not to get all conspiracy theory on you, but if you are truly in a position to know the goings-on at an exclusive place like this, that is precisely what you'd say no matter the truth.

Protecting the privacy of clients would drive your every utterance.

Right?

I was more a poster on the scout boards in 2012 and BV posted heavily there. He was very convinced JG was coming and I believed him, as I knew that there had been meetings with Gruden and Gruden had Haslam support.

This was also a time when DP posted frequently over there, DP was also very anti-JG then and refused to acknowledge that Gruden was ever a possibility if I recall correctly.

Yes. LWS as well

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.

Yes,but you did say you would come back and take the heat. People were absolutely coming at you for everything and you stayed your ground and took it. Respect for that. I still believe everything you said was true as you knew it. So thanks for everything you bring. Anything on that L.C Smith ?

Not clients. Know someone that allows me to know what’s going on. I’d have no problem sharing anything of interest here. We’re all team Gruden!

This is the one thing that is driving me crazy. Volreporter sounded like Radio. Like he was mentally challenged. I’m not trying to be funny either. He posted as if he were on the set of Gameday, never responded to people who called him out and then would just repost the exact same post as before multiple times. I NEVER ONCE believed him/her. It was blatant. Beav won me to his side when he offered to help a fellow Vol find a job. Trolls don’t do that. He may end up being totally wrong (which I doubt) but that was a classy move.

You're right. It's all fine and well to log into a message board and throw around some "insider info", and troll a few people on Twitter, but he was in NO WAY obligated to share more about himself and his likes, much less offer to help MULTIPLE people find employment. That's not the M.O. of someone who's going to disappear when the decision is made. I mean he's revealing himself, at least to the people he's helping, in some manner. Whether you believe him or not, or like him or not, you gotta give him props for being a stand up guy, and a damn fine Vols fan!

I've been to events there hosted by Alexander, but it's been many years.

Do you live near there? I know my friend inherited his property through family and they have begged for his property because of the location. Beautiful area

So you don't work at Blackberry Farm, but you know someone very well (let's just imagine it's your wife) who does, so you think you're in a position to know.

What if she doesn't tell you about the most sensitive visitors?

Just sayin'.
