Ok. But I'm lost here. What does that have to do with this?

Dish is on a tight timeline to get their spectrum (quantity) of wireless service to the market. The quickest way is on someone else's equipment, then build your own 5g service on your own time or not at all.

If you can partner with someone who has brand familiarity in the wireless world it is easier to sell your service (tv package). ATT/Directv sell TV/internet together but this would be a cell service streaming tv package. This isn't traditional home internet we're talking about..if it is then i completely misunderstand it.


Again, obtaining ESPN and the rights to stream it when you hold the ability to market it is amazing. If the only way to stream ESPN is to say be a T mobile customer (who would be partnered with Ergen) that would probably generate huge revenue.

ESPN needing to reduce costs to make the sale is what Concep alluded to.

So the question, is Gruden the byproduct or the prize? If any of this is true.

His son is a Junior at UT, he is well aware of the hype for him to come here. In fact he was well aware the last couple of times. Point being regardless if UT puts out "official statement" he would probable let it be known to squash rumors. Jmo though.

I can see that, I just think it’d be silly for fans to bash him in public if he doesn’t come.

Personally, I think the perfect “Gruden to the Hill” announcement possible on MNF would be for him to do it in the style of a recruit.

Picture this: Cut to a shot of Gruden and co-host standing in studio sometime late in the game as they often do.

Gruden says, “You know, tonight’s a special night. I’ve loved every minute of my time at ESPN, but tonight I’m announcing that it’s time to move on to the next chapter of my life.”

Then, he pulls out a UT hat, a TB Bucs hat, and a UF hat. He picks up the Bucs hat, talks about his love for TB, the fans, and the weather in FL, then says, “... but it’s time for me to go back to college!” And, he puts the Bucs hat on his co-host.

He’d then go on to talk about what a tough decision it was, how great the offers are, and thank everyone for their support. Then he’ll talk about how much he and his wife enjoyed their time in Tampa and how much he loves Florida. After a bit of a suspenseful pause, he’ll say, “... so we’re really looking forward to visiting Gainesville every other year.” He’ll then put the UT hat on, pull out a bottle of lighter fluid, douse the UF hat, and light that joker on fire right there in the studio.

Then, he’ll do this pose while singing Rocky Top without the “woo”:

Yep, I think that’s the way it’s going down.

TIFWIW guy has a big following and has called things in the past. Who is the swamp rat though?
Click to expand...

The Swamp Rat is Dewey Warren, former UT QB in the mid 60’s. He was the first UT QB to pass for more than 1,000 yards in a season. He was the HC at the University of the South for many years, but haven’t heard about him in a long time.

As I have said before...I have one solid source. Nothing has changed for 3 weeks. Looks like a go. Not saying soon and don't care if it is or isn't soon, but it is sooner.

It suddenly strikes me that if Gruden is hired, the Beav will come out looking great, but we will still never know whether he was legit or just happened to succeed in trolling.

Beav is 100% troll regardless. Seems like a 16 yr old trolling. Too much time on his hands. Not an MIT educated adult. Jmo. Grown arse adults that have info act like larry or jav. Not an attention seeker that creates twitter SOLELY for VN people. He is just feeding the fires.

Still 100% grude though. Just 0% Beav.

Sorry to bust in on your conversation, but I couldn’t help but talk Ducks with y’all. I grew up in the Camden Bottoms and KY Lake...I mostly hunt Arkansas and the Platte River now, and I work for RNT.

Very cool. I used to blow RNT but I have been running a JJ Lares for 3 years.
