Hank III is in on some legal 'shine venture that supposedly uses Popcorn's recipe.

I'm pretty sure Hank Jr. bought Popcorn's recipes fully outright.

They have a legal brand going but the marketing strategy ain't doing well. Ole Smokey is doing really well. Hell, they sponsor like three NASCAR races...and make a huge showing in Bristol.

It'll be awhile before I log on because I'm going to DVR the presser and watch it over and over for hours on end to be sure I'm awake and it happened. Then I'll come & join the party. :yahoo:

Had a great conversation with a friend who happened to play in the mid eighties.First he is still very connected to the program.He said with out a shadow of doubt Dooley was done.(Which we all already knew).Then he told me that JG was a ga when he was there.He said one of the reasons he thinks JG wants to be here is Majors.I was in shock and ask why.He said think about this your a young coach hinging on every word of your first mentor.Who better to tell the history and storys of Tn.football than JM.Said it has always left a huge impression on Jg.Thats the reason he values this job.In a way hes coming home to what he considers his football mecca.On a side note he said he is a very humble approachable guy.Unlike what we just got rid of.He said he was going to take his Dad to a practice this summer and was told he couldnt do it on the day he requested.So he went any way.When he got toHaslem field 20min before practice was starting Dooley was there chewing out a gardner for the way he was triming the hedges.

Not hedges. It was his bamboo. Takes a long time to grow so gotta take care of it.

He his something else. A little crazy and full out about everything he does. Motor never stops that is why he was such a terror for opponents as a player and now as the DC for App State.

I believe Popcorn gave the recipe to some Motocross rider or something along those lines
and Hank Jr went into a partnership with him and Popcorn's wife
to create the legal shine label...

Judging from your location, and the story you recount, especially about Majors, I think your source and mine are one and the same!

Did, perchance, he happen to be a critical but unsung part of something the Vols have struggled with for several years now?

Boro and everyone still feeling great about everything. Gruden is 100%!
The day has been spent making fun of Arky and talking about beer. lol Other things are listed in the Cliff notes such as this tweet I shared..

ESPN NFL insider @mortreport is set to join us on the show right now. You can listen in at SportsTalk with Bo Mattingly .

Mort: The Tennessee job would be the only collegiate job that I think could really get Jon Gruden's attention.

Mort: The Arkansas coaching rumors flying around are getting silly. I've been hearing from NFL buddies, 'What's wrong with your people?'

Mort is Chris Mortensen.

And Rucker tweeted..

Wes Rucker Wes Rucker ‏@wesrucker247

@JBCVOL Why are you saving it? Never said he's not interested. He's interested. But he's not on campus TODAY.

I added this to the Cliff Notes. I posted a shorter version earlier inside the Gruden thread series. Since this is my only contribution of information, I did a little more research and am letting it rip...

This seems legit. I like it very very much :)
