Neyland I (Formerly known as Gruden Thread)

I feel like we'll see a big surge after the NC game when Pruitt can focus solely on the last few weeks of recruiting. I'm not rooting for Bama (and never will) but his defense's performance so far has helped us.

Gruden will never leave that cushy job, he's just an attention whore, doesn't want to coach any more, blah, blah. Funny, if he does take the job it seems to lend more credence to the fact he was possibly in the mix at UT.

On another note, F' 'im.

Good to see you stop by preacher. Hope all is well.

 

[preacherwebb]

Awesome!
This ain't the Gruden thread I see.

Maybe I'll check back in later .... :gone:

Hey Sara. You posted while I was being sarcastic ... ruined my post.
Doing well. Good Christmas and New Years and all that.

You?
Any other Grudenites come up in here?

This ensures the Grumours will never die when the next coaching search starts..

I miss the Gruden threads. I didn't realize it until just now.
Sad.

I miss knuck and doyle telling people (kindly) to leave.
I miss coasty being schizo.
I miss boro being cryptic.
I miss the sharp ladies figuring out complex angles to the world's problems.
I miss Atlantavol giving out free tickets.
I miss insiders dropping nuggets and me getting all excited 'cause Gruden's coming.
I miss smokeyhuntsgators eternally optimistic "soon" posts.
I miss, I forget who it was, posting "Gruden to the Hill!"
I miss gif posting (pronounced gif, with a g).
I even miss MITBeaver, and I don't know why.
I miss Bubba driving by for who knows what reason.
I miss it all.

I feel like Pruitt will do well here, but I sure did love the hope I felt when I believed Gruden would be our guy (which I will never, I repeat, never, again believe).

I miss you guys.

Hey Preach!

Hope you had a Happy Christmas and New Year!

For certain, Grudemonium was entertaining, at least. I miss your "You Just Made The List!"

Me too!

There was a post a few pages back mocking us for getting Freak to remove trolls.

What people are never going to get (or try to get) was that the Gruden threads provided a happy place to be on VN, a change form the b!tching and moaning and endless e-cred battles on the other threads.

Sure, it was fun to think that he was coming, but a lot of regular posters never really thought it would happen. But we still all joined in, speculating, joking, trading stories, and just having a good time. Idiots who came in to scold us for talking about Gruden were rightfully run off as trolls, because that wasn’t the point of the threads.

And most of them knew it. They just wanted to muscle in and make us conform.

And oh, by the way, a lot of regular Gruden posters participated in the Great Volshevik Revolution. Never underestimate the power of people with enthusiasm and a dream, as opposed to those stuck in their cynicism.

I miss you, preacher! I hope you and yours are doing well, and that there wasn’t too much sadness about that empty chair on Christmas.

I expect this thread will go pretty quiet for the next several months, barring any amazing offseason scandals or surprises, but let’s come back as the Original Neylanders when spring practice and the Orange and White game return!! (And here’s hoping that it won’t be 8 degrees by then.)

No beatings from me as I was having fun in there too - and it was fun. I think most people didn't truly understand what it was and won't realize much how much fun it was because they were constantly trying to "save" us... I miss all the whacky off topic conversations about, well, everything. You're a good man Preacher. Hope you are doing well. :hi: And once again my condolences for the recent the loss of your mother. I lost mine as well several years ago and I truly empathize with you. Although it's not as painful these years later, I still miss her every day...

Back to football, I do agree with you about CJP. He met my first challenge so far of living up to his reported recruiting prowess, and to this point as well with the second of the assistants being brought in. And as for the third, is he head coach material? To be determined...
