Tuesday with MNF behind them. Gives the sportswriters almost a full week to get worked up for the Saturday morning sports shows.

I think Game Day will be epic. SEC Nation right behind them as Finebaum cuddles his Saban doll while sobbing and rocking back and forth off camera.

Ha! After listing to Finebaum when I was stationed in Montgomery in the late 90s and early 2000's I can't stand him. He is such a bammer homer and during the whole Albert Means case he talked trash about Fullmer and TN everyday.

Also SOON.

I've already gotten more apathetic than ever because of our constant crapfests, and if we hire Mullen I'm going to just absolutely lose all intense interest in Tennessee football for the foreseeable future.

I've completely skipped watching two Tennessee games this year for the first time ever because I hate watching us suck and I was in school for the worst four years of Tennessee football ever. Mullen will do absolutely nothing to improve our circumstances. Nothing.

You only skipped two?

I am to the point that when Gruden is introduced, all out war needs to be waged on these reporters and fake news spreaders. Mocked into the purgatory of irrelevancy from which there is no return.

Here's the thing...

Some, Hubbs for instance, are likely being fed bad info by (normally) reliable sources. I'm not going to call this a smokescreen, but they are likely reporting in good faith on what they are hearing. Just that their info is out of date or incorrect.

Others, Hyams as a primary example, are going all out to be complete and utter douchebags to VN as a whole. And need to be run out of town for their actions. However, it's a distinct possibility Hyams is getting bad info for a reason as a complete misdirection. He's like the Howard Stern of UT Sports. You listen because you believe him. Or you listen because you hate him and want to hear what nonsense he says next. I spoke the other day about controlling leaks and how Currie and company can use that to their advantage during the phase we are in. They probably know who talks to Hyams in the AD and can use that to their advantage.

The national level guys are probably relying on the local level guys for info. Hence, the bad info they are getting and putting out is echoes with their own twist.

Those reporting from other team's camps are probably under the same spell as the talking head I heard the other day. "Don't think it'll happen because I don't want it to happen." Complete downplay of anything Gruden related because they know just how powerful that name is and the brand he brings with him.

My thoughts.

All i'm going to say is it better be Gruden because if Currie parades mediocre mullen or some other "better than butch" coach out to the podium after he's been sipping pina coladas in the middle of a coaching search, i'm going to be following around college game day and good morning america holding up "Fire John Currie" signs until he is let go!

I feel the same way! Don't hire Mullen or most of the other names I have heard during this search. TN is at a pivotal time. We either make a GREAT hire or I fear we will fall further down than we are now. I don't think we can recover from another bad hire.

I’ve always felt like it would be Tuesday too but Sunday’s starting to feel pretty good for some reason...

If I could ever get any info on this matter, it’ll happen Friday. I’ve been counting down to this day for weeks now. Though, I may be too intoxicated to post until the next day lol.

I'd love it to be today, tomorrow, Friday, Saturday.... etc. Just think they would do it when he could be in Knoxville. I'm sure he'll be in Baltimore Saturday thru Tuesday morning.

But obviously I have no clue.

Right now would be fine.
