Would the recent Cheek info be part of the misinformation that some were saying to expect from the UTAD?

Probably not coming from Basillio. He actually knows what is going on...I've talked to him about it. He's driving traffic.

If it had come from state run radio I would say yes.

You know, it's interesting how the world seems to need some people who just can't find the smooth and easy path, and they crash around and break stuff (mostly themselves, at least for a while) and rage at How Things Are. I often think that their assignment in life must be to help the rest of us blink and realize what's real and what's important, and what's illusion and what we can let go.

A lot of them are artists, although not necessarily with a capital A. They see things with a bit of a slant, and they see a lot of the crap that goes on in this sorry-ass world, and many times, they just can't handle it. Some are lucky, though, and they get through it and figure out how to tell the rest of us. They become the Bob Dylans and Mavis Stapleses and John Hiatts who tell us how it is. (You can tell I'm buried in music. :))

I went through a lot of this myself in years gone by, but by sheer dumb luck (aka that grace of God thing), I seem to have some sort of internal balance that keeps me from getting seriously crazy, or at least not for too long. My son is struggling with this now, trying to reconcile that inner feeling of how things ought to be with the dull and grimy reality of how things are, and it kills me to watch him going through it. I'd take all the bullets for him if I could, but I can't. There it is.

I don't know what to say to those flailing through the chaos, other than to say to keep stripping off the layers of how things are s'pozed to be, according to what the teachers and the preachers and the politicians and your next-door neighbors tell you, until you get down to what's real to you, and what's important. And be clear-eyed with yourself about how chemicals can both help temporarily (by dulling the anguish) and hurt forever (by keeping you stuck, and from pushing through those last obstacles), and know when it's time to take the pain and move forward. And do know that there are people who love you, even when they could pretty easily strangle you at times.

No one knows what it's like until you go through it yourself, or have a loved one go through it.

Meanwhile, umm, go Gruden and all that, I guess.

You've been lurking eh? I can't hold back without getting my 2 cents in, unless I'm sick.

My fear is NOT getting Gruden while we have the chance. If he is getting the itch to coach again, we better pick him up while we still can, dude will be coaching somewhere next year. Strike while the iron is hot

Iron was hot. We struck.

Patience. Soon.

Whoa! Dooley hung up on a booster? If true wow. That is some arrogance right there. That or he wants to collect the 5 million.

I think Dooley is a defeated man and he wants out just as badly as we want him out. He just wants to collect his safety net on the way out the door.

Speaking of old news, does anyone remember where the article came from about Dooley inquiring about the Tar Heel job?

Not in any article that I'm aware of. Could be wrong.

Hate to bother but trying to win a bet :)
Any idea where this came from? I know I have heard this!

In other more important news, Ainge is encouraging fake Gruden sightings on Twitter like I was posting in Gruden Thread 1.

One of our posters said to check Mr. SEC. Not sure though.
