Official Gruden Thread 39

It's beginning to feel like a pants off day. Need to get this done before Thursday. I'd hate to have the announcement come during Thanksgiving at the in laws. Gonna get awkward.

 

[Imintnse]

Wesley Chapel, eh? What's up neighbor?

You mean to tell me that i'm not alone in Union Co.?

 

[superdave1984]

Soccer Taco.

:good!:

The last two months all took place inside the mind of a child with a snow globe of Knoxville.

Instead of "Rosebud"...the ending is "Gruden"..........

 

[ShowMeThemTD's]

I think there’s a lot of folks who are saying one thing and believing another...

I can't speak for them.... all I can speak for is myself

 

[OrangePill]

M*llen has a lifetime record of 33-38 in the SEC and 2-15 in ranked match-ups -- WORST RECORD IN AP POLL HISTORY !!.

Please stop trying to sell chicken crap and calling it chicken salad.

I don't want Mullen, but to play devil's advocate his record at State means very little. James Franklin, who I easily consider a top-10 coach, had an SEC record of 11-14 with a record of 1-9 against ranked opponents. I will argue against Mullen until I'm blue in the face, but this should not be the argument we use.

Saying that, I really with these Mullenites would GTFO.

Soccer Taco.

I love soccer taco.

 

[Dudleys87]

:good!:

It’s cheap and they have beer. What’s not to like :rock:

 

[SoKnoxVol]

Are you wow'ing the comment that guy made or the fact that some one is listening to that station?

Lol I was up in G-Burg and it was the only station my truck would pick up. It wasn’t by choice, trust me.

Plus the food is darn good.

 

[VolForLife83]

Sorry, I just can't take Will West's reporting on Gruden seriously.



Jimmy Hyams has assured us consistently on behalf of WNML that all talk of Gruden to UT is bullspit. West is trolling us.

No way

So it was a 3-day ban? Good on you to be back.

Jon Gruden was announced as Tennessee's head football coach the day before yesterday.

He named Tee Martin and Dale Jones as his coordinators, with Tee Martin also carrying the "assistant head coach" title (and presumptive head coach-in-waiting, though that wasn't said aloud).

He noted that he and Peyton Manning will hold an elite 7-on-7 academy this next summer, from early June to the end of July, and only Tennessee, MTSU, and St Cecelia's football players are invited. As an event much along the lines of the Nike camps, this does not count as practice, and does not violate any NCAA by-laws.

Finally, he bought out all the Hooters in the state of Tennessee, making all the previous owners instant millionaires, and declared that Saturdays are "eat and drink free if you wear orange" days during every football season.

Other than that, no, you didn't miss much. Been pretty quiet.

You forgot to mention that they all had dinner at Calhoun's Saturday.

 

[ShowMeThemTD's]

If you were in Knoxville where would you watch the game

I would drive about 80 minutes south and have dinner with my wife and I....

"Based on a couple emails I’ve received today, I feel the need to reiterate that THiS IS A PRO-GRUDEN thread.

If you don’t believe any of the hype, simply move to the Mullen or Norvell threads, or any other thread on the site for that matter. This particular thread isn’t for you.

This is a lighthearted thread for those who are having a blast following all the Gruden rumors and wish to do so with other fans.

We don’t need trolls, anti-Gruden folks trying to stir the masses, or self appointed mods trying to call out others in here.

It’s not for everyone. I get that. But it is what it is and many of us have enjoyed the ride so far, however it turns out.

Please make sure this post makes it to the top of the next Gruden thread. If not, please report that post and remind us to include it. Also please report obvious trolls who are clearly here only to harass and incite. I’m not referring to those sharing respectful opinions. The difference should be obvious to most.

Thanks for reading.

Go Vols.

EDIT: Just to be clear, since everyone likes to spin things, in no way am I stating that civil respectful discussions are not allowed."

Translation...

Me and the wife found it by mistake our first trip to Knoxville and make a point to go every time we go back


Love that place

Just getting out ahead of this tweet before some dope posts it here:

This tweet tags an IT professional named Dan Mullen and the screenshot is from a very poor-edited Wikipedia page for Dan Mullen. Nothing to see here.

I wouldn't doubt it. Not one bit

This is the GRUDEN Thread. No more talk about other "has been", second class coaches on here. If we do not get Gruden, than no football in 2018.

I call BS, I live in Sevierville and I can barely hear that garbage here....

I know Butch wasn't/isn't a member. Don't believe Dooley or Kiffin were either.

Interesting.

 

[Dudleys87]

That goes without saying. It’s simply amazing

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Nope. I'm in the Monroe->Wesley Chapel->Mineral Springs triangle. There's another one of us around here somewhere that lives in Indian Trail. Union County representin!

I got the fajitas once and there were broccoli and carrots in it. Very strange to me and kind of turned me off from there. Guess I'll need to try it again

 

[VolForLife83]
