The Grude News, the morning edition. For those just joining us...
Ladies and gentlemen...and Gator fans lurking. This is a public advisory this update will go to 11. I repeat, hide yo kids, hide yo wife, we all getting Gruden up in here.
What an interesting 24 hours it's been. Highs, lows and everything in between. We have been invaded by the trolls out there drumming for attention and some have been giving it to them. Just ignore them, press on and they go away. Chances are, they don't even check what's been posted and just say stuff to get a rise out of folks. Otherwise, plenty of confidence out there and plenty of "SOON!" and "GRUDEN TO THE HILL!" to amuse us in the meantime.
Babyavi dropped another complete "all in, 100%, announcement to be made soon" post on TOS. He's going way out there with support.
Swain, love ya guy, but you flip flop more than a coeds shoes on spring break. All in until you're all out, bud.
Boro continues to be confident, but guarded. Not that, again, we blame him.
It was reported today from an alleged friend of Gruden's that he has never entertained the Tennessee job and he allegedly heard it straight from the Grude Man himself. Not sure I believe that since there is far, far, far more smoke this time than I ever saw in 2012. And allegedly, Gruden was on campus as reported by more than a few folks today, including...Catbone?
Can someone check this fact? Catbone? Really? He's trolling, right? Confirmed through others? No way it was Catbone. He had to have been hacked or something...
And we got a visit from Atlanta Vol.
<silence>
Who gave free tickets to the LSU game to veterans and their families. Didn't say much else except he's been busy and he has to respect the "process" that's going on in the AD at the moment. His silence speaks far more than he intended as well as that little quip. Also, ClearWaterVol and Sara chipped in their tickets as well. To the both of you, as a veteran, my hat is off to you, good sirs and ma'am. I'm proud you're a part of this family of Vols.
I believe Wikipedia hates Vol fans any time we do a coaching search. For the 284,453rd time, Gruden has been named our head coach on his page. And for the 284, 544th time, someone changed it back. But it's always good for a laugh thinking of the poor person who sighs seeing the change made yet again.
I don't know who MCBM is on TOS, but he seems to be bringing a lot, I mean a LOT of info on this hire. Basically stated Gruden has agreed in principle to be the coach and has been interviewing prospective staff. Including allegedly Randy Sanders and David Blackburn for compliance.
Poster checkthetape posted a bomb last night. Kind of apologetic in nature, but stated without a doubt Gruden to the Hill. And apologized to Beaver whom he had stated in the past was not worthy of attention. To be that public in an apology is a big deal.
Even DTO weighed in and said the next week would be "fun" and he thought the announcement would come Vandy week. However, said a lot of misinformation would come out in the time in between.
I typically try to toss a bit more humor into these things, but a lot of nuggets out there in the past 24 hours. And the thread is moving so fast, even NASA is trying to figure out how to contain it for a new form of propulsion. Shoot, even Freak took time from his busy schedule of counting clicks and grinning like Currie at a press conference to visit us last night.
Good grief, the hits just keep on coming. Poster OrangePill stated he had a conversation with a BOT member who stated the deal was all but done except a few things here and there. No specific names, but an MOU was signed in Asheville (cue Beaver grinning) and the fine print is being worked out. Also said Patterson is our backup plan.
That announcement promptly removed a few hundred sets of pants and set an unofficial streaking record for Vol fans.
And Atlanta made a return appearance which caused every other set of pants to be removed by saying: "Tomorrow will prove to be a pivotal day in the hunt for red October." Exact meaning unknown, but hell, I feel it was made with some great intentions. And the streaking record was broken a mere hours after it had been set once before. As a fan base, we do not disappoint.
And why has this coaching search brought some seriously long time registered, but zero time posting posters out of hiding? Bubba and Orange Appeal being two obvious choices. Beaver seems to be the new kid on the block, but still registered a long time ago.
Boro chimed in with his "relax" comment once again. I feel like Frankie is subtly telling us something that I so wildly don't want to take out of context...
I'm probably missing a whole hoop of stuff, but dang, I've given enough in this update to give a complete and massive Grude on to even the most ardent Gruden opposition out there.
No "in other news today" just strictly business.
From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and I'm exhausted.

Beautiful! Now revise it to include the Gruden Mike and Mike interview!!!
