You have your opinion and I would appreciate it if you didn’t call me gullible. The man ain’t wrong about Sexton being a slime and thing to get all his peeps in the job. Move on and irritate someone else now.

That’s my opinion. I deal with yours.

Don’t email and call Bev and Fulmer. Time to get Gruden’s email and phone # if you want an answer. He could have ended this the day it started.

How did Pruitt make it through what, three interviews over the course of several days, and not have this issue come up until now? I would think this would have been brought up earlier.

I made the best chili I've ever had on Monday and I'm eating a big ass bowl of it right now.

Incredible stuff.

Because Pruitt is #FakeNews and the reality is nobody actually wants our job.

Just texted one of my 'Bama buddies and told him it looks like we have a shot at getting Pruitt as our next coach ... he immediately texted back "Hope Not", yes, I'd rather have Gruden too, just thought I'd share what some 'Bamanians think of him ...

So what does that mean we should be happy to get him?

No, I don't want to settle for him but he certainly didn't want to lose him ...

And I have dealt with yours all day long but am not so immature as to call you (or anyone else for that matter) any names or try and degrade people that have a different opinion. Don’t bother to respond as you have now official made my second ignore. Have a Grude night

Sorry - was driving and just now got back home. Can’t find Grumor’s post since it’s several pages back but I remember the gist was asking my stance on Beaver. Troll or not? Short answer, yes I believe he is a troll. I’ve believed that since the beginning. And my post history will reflect that. I found his game entertaining, as some amount of effort was put into it rather than “guys, I just heard....” bargain-bin trolling. I even had a moment or two where I thought something could be up after the betting lines changed. But once that was explained away by one of the owners of betonoline as merely reflecting incoming money, I dismissed it (I’m not familiar with gambling).

I believe Beaver is probably a wealthy, educated individual. I also believe he probably knows people with more power and influence than himself (and you and me), and I believe those people also probably told him things. Either pie-in-the-sky type scenarios or fabricated from rumors they had themselves heard. I don’t believe those people actually had any bearing on who would be hired by UT, and in an effort to hit a home run, Beaver came to the board claiming to be more than what he was. If he struck out, who cares? There will be no repercussions outside of many people no longer believing MIT_Beaver, and even then, there will still be people who strangley do for whatever reason. He goes on with his real life, can post under a different username if he so chooses (or maybe already does) and nothing ultimately matters.

If he hits, he’s a legend.

It was a gamble worth taking for someone who’s likely bored and very probably has an inflated ego and/or cares way too much what others think of him.

If he was truly here to shepherd in a change in UT’s culture, assist in ousting those in power, and restoring power to the fanbase (beyond the fact that this was not at all what his initial postings implied)- there wouldn’t be such a glaring need for vagueness, self-secrecy, revisionist predictions, and lengthy periods of absence. The “Grudenites” are basically on suicide watch. If he’s legit, they need him now more than ever. It would take 5 minutes tops to spill the beans on this forum with what information he knows while still being able to do so without revealing exactly who he is. Yet he doesn’t. If he wants to be the board-appointed figurehead for whatever this movement is exactly (which he clearly enjoys the psuedo celebrity of) he should be here for you guys, plain and simple. Instead, everyone is twisting in the wind with him providing nothing in tangible explanation.

So yes, I believe he is a troll.

Someone call Bob Lamonte and talk some sense into him. Surely one of his clients could be persuaded if we gave him a little extra. One of the best parts about a Gruden hire is getting away from Sexton. He might be a great person, but from all I can tell, he isn’t.
