I want to believe Beaver. I want him to become the stuff of legends. However, crap like the Asheville smokescreen just makes me shake my head. If Wallace had not been asked about the Farm, the Asheville stuff would never come to light apart from his original photo. It was pure coincidence.

I understand your uncertainty. Things such as this do not work in singular fashion.

Example, when recruiting, coaches don't all go to the same place and talk to one kid. They spilt up, multiple coaches recruiting multiple kids. What VFL coaches at a nearby University in the North Carolina mtns?

Just another way to look at things.

Shelbyville is the land of the Beady-Eyed people.

Scaredest I ever got in my youth: one night we were in the car headed to Normandy (a small town near Shelbyville) to meet up with a witch who, it was said, would tell our fortunes if we pulled up in front of her house at precisely midnight and honked once with all the windows open...so anyway, we were trying to find that place, and took a wrong turn, ended up on a gravel road headed up a steep hillside...it was wooded, but winter and the trees had no leaves, could see pretty well by the near-full moon.

At the top of the hill, the road let out into a big clearing, about the size of two football fields, side-to-side. And the entire clearing was scattered with people. All just standing there, spread out arm's distance from each other. All over the clearing. They all turned to look at us in the car, but otherwise did nothing. Didn't shield their eyes from the glare of our headlights, or move to get out of our way, or anything.

Turned as tight a circle as I could and got us the hell out of there.

Yep, the land of the Beady-eyed people. Shovel.


p.s. A few cogent facts I failed to mention initially: first, there were no cars on the gravel road leading to the clearing, or in the clearing itself. How did those hundreds of people get there? No idea. And second, what were they doing, standing all spread apart in the dark like that? There were no lanterns or flashlights, no campfires, no light at all except the moonlight, until our car arrived. Eerie as all friggin' get-out.

Never did find out what it was about. And never tried to find that gravel road again, either. We did eventually find the witch's house. But that's another story.

See I don't believe Gruden's been flying around the country in Haslam's jet interviewing assistants for a month and a half, but just got around to having a family meeting.

Reasonable point of view. But does Gruden have to personally be on the plane? Could he possibly be sending surrogates?

From Hutch7 on TOS:

Jon and Cindy had a meeting this past weekend, he called jr on monday/tuesday and asked him how he would feel if he was the coach at UT, he said " I'm just a student why do I care, you do you" another meeting with more than just Gruden, jr and cindy is this weekend.
