Like this?

Awesome.
#13 Jersey too much to ask?

Oh and don't forget the Library and the Undergroung in the old city.

Outside the Underground was the first time I saw Peyton. It was the summer before his first semester. I told my buddies that's Peyton Manning, and they said who?

I think Higgins is pissed he isn't offered that kind of cash.

 

[MWR]

One of you smart guys put a Tn Helmet on Pepe for me please.

Maybe you could use Hman's?

 

[TheDude]

@Vols_News: RT @wesrucker247: Of course Tennessee's talks with Jon Gruden have involved really big numbers. Why do y'all think he's listening?

 

[AJeray4TN]

A #13 Jersey would be cool.

Here is this one too. Gotta run for a bit actually. Hit me up later if you want.

 

[babyavi]

Quick. And dang. Are we getting played or is Larry way off here?

I am a strong Larry believer. I always have been. But he trusts babyvol, and babyvol is saying Gruden. Something doesn't add up. Either he thinks he will believe it until its signed, or that Gruden will leave us at the alter because he has a tendency to do that.

I think honestly its a combination of this being the biggest hire in UT history since Majors, and even then, many fans are questioning if its possible for us to have "good luck". I think the boosters and university are doing what the Dalai Lama said, "Make your own luck".

 

[Jonboy]

Someone needs to make a Gruden "hope" t-shirt in orange and white.

Using rational thoughts.

Gruden has gauged interest in UT ever since the last opening. He states it would be a great job. Multiple reputable NFL reporters say IF he leaves for college it will be to UT. His family ties are strong to the area. Hart fires Dooley before many expected. Peyton and gang are putting up big numbers to fix football. Cheek commits 18 million for the first 3 years to getting football back. Sounds like we are going for the biggest of hires. Again, why hasn't Gruden publicly denied this, certainly he isn't dumb enough to think we aren't in it, especially when its a fact that Arkansas has offered. There is no way Arkansas has offered and we haven't. Another thing I don't understand is how many would think it would be a so-so hire, especially Cheek. Recruiting runs all in the SEC, Montrell hit that one on the head and has constantly said we are not recruiting where we need to be to win championships. Gruden brings unbelievable coaching experience with a brand to give recruits. I just think when many sit down and lay the pro's and con's of this, it rationally becomes the "right" thing to do. It's a big hire or bust.

I think it could well be the biggest hire in college football history......:clap:

Larry is either trolling or just completely wrong. No need to worry guys. The deal is done and will be announced next week.

What did Larry say.

 

[volshoopster]

Will we still be able to land the Hopper, if Gruden comes?

 

[volatil]

Cash only. Must pay dues for the year.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Sources tell me that a model for said Franklin statue has been agreed upon. The committee that selected the model are posing in front:

[Jake]

Lmao

 

[JayVols]

So LWS isn't on board at all. Does this bother anyone?

No.

Holy Moses man.

You are reviving brain cells I had long given up on.

I've got one for you....the boiler room!

 

[LazhilUT]

Interesting...I am far from an insider but on Saturday, a friend of mine sent me a DM on twitter saying someone she knows in the Chatt area told her $53M for 8 years, 6.6M

Just wanted to post it because that is close to the numbers that some have thrown out there...

 

[Jake]

What did Larry say.

That he checked with multiple sources and none of them qualify the Gruden theory.

 

[JAllen18]

8 years 60 million would definitely be an offer where Gruden can't say no to.

 

[1world1love]

Sources tell me that a model for said Franklin statue has been agreed upon. The committee that selected the model are posing in front:

That is fekkin hilarious man. I am about to roll in the floor, my side is hurting.

 

[Shackleford]

Gruden X's gonna be crazy ya'll. I can feel it.

 

[Coastypop]

Coasty, you get a haircut? Something different about you tonight.

Been to the beauty shop...barber was closed..ha ha

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

If Higgins is correct, the 8 years 60 million may be true. That would be a HUGE contract.

If true,that's some sick money...But Gruden will be worth every penny.:yes:

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

Excellent advice.

Gruden is ours.Period!:yes:

Smokey, lovin ur new duds

 

[Insunseri]

So where did our hot Knoxville News Sentinel reporter go???
