Neyland I (Formerly known as Gruden Thread)

[Leximax]

Ok, now that I won’t be running on coaching search adrenaline tomorrow, I gotta get some sleep. Gnight vol faithful!

 

[UTSuave’]

50 is a mess.


But it’ll be fun.


Here’s to another season at Neyland. 🥃

Needs to be ****ing nuked

Needs to be ****ing nuked

Only if it kills the troll accounts when they nuke it.

I just wanted to say that i have enjoyed this ride with all of you and have enjoyed VN more than I have in years. We didnt get our man but some of us got fired, a drinking problem, divorced, or some other mental defect thanks to UTAD.

I bleed Orange, do I like the hire, no. I guess we will all see together. Knuck, I will be in Mempho sometime soon and I would love to buy you a beer at Bayou Bar and Grill.

 

[roobomb]

Right? Lol. believe it or not, I actually started a new job in the last month as well. I can’t believe I haven’t been fired yet. 😂 I live in western Jefferson county in a little town called Oak Grove (tornado alley)! There are quite a few of us stuck in Alabama, it seems.

I’m over in Trussville. Don’t even want to go to work tomorrow and listen to the bammer fans crowing about us not being able to win without one of their coaches.

Much calmer in here...

:groupwave:

 

[buckfama]

Who wants a sip of shine? I need one or 2. Been a long day.

 

[TheRealSmokey]

Yes, I'm new. All the way out in California. I wear UT shirts 3-4 times a week out here. Sadly, there isn't a single damn Bama or Florida fan to argue with. People out here aren't "fans" of much besides themselves. Hey, it's a living though.

Been a Vol fan since 1979. Whole rest of my family is spread out around Tennessee. Met alot of historic VFLs throughout my life. Alot of them were my heroes. Never loved any other team like this. Smokey makes me smile, laugh, then cheer when I see him on TV. Just Smokey. Even the mascot version. Then I see the helmets. Then the uniforms...

I live in Pac 12 land. No one understands. But reading all of your posts (refreshing by the second) for the last 20 days, talking to some of you personally... I just wanted to say thanks. You really are all a bunch of fantastic people.

I wanted Gruden...mostly for UT to be RELEVANT again. For playing against the Vols to MATTER to people. I'm not saying Pruitt is a bad hire. But he's the difference between trying to get season tickets (in L.A.) versus just watching on tv every week.

Anyways. Sorry for the emo life story. I just wanted to say, it's been fun drinking and following along. I'd like to continue to do that. Cheers to you all.

Soon...We will be back

I agree... thankfully I am off tomorrow. 🤦🏼*♀️ I haven’t actually heard any of them say that yet. All I’m hearing is we don’t “deserve” him. I’m sure it’s coming though.

 

[Grand Vol]

What’d I do?

I think he's saying it's what you didn't to.

Post pics of your tattoos.

Yes, I’m quoting myself but I’m really confused as to why the emoji is a boy with a gender sign? I used the girl emoji. This world is so effffffffing weird now. Sorry. Carry on.

Sorry, just woke from a coma. I hear Phil is the interim. I hope Majors recovers from the heart attack. Is Andy Kelly a Heisman finalist? I just love this little tv on my typewriter!!!

 

[LeBleu]

I'll bite.... I wish we would put the normal stripe back on the helmet, and make the numbers on the jerseys bigger like in the old days....

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Sigh, I guess I follow you guys blindly.

Just think of it as a tailgate party.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

"We don't give a damn about the whole state of Alabammer, the whole state of Alabammer, we're from TENNUUUHHHSEEEE!"

StI'll remember.

 

[windrider]

Yes, the trolls have set up shop in the other thread. Hopefully they stay there.

Good luck with that. They are like bloodhounds on the hunt.

 

[MaTaLa]

Pretty close to ain't, ain't it. chit

EDIT: TMI


I'm a loyal/stubborn guy so Gruden till it ain't and it ain't ain't, yet.

G'night y'all.

 

[HeadVol77]

See you all in the AM

In honor of the greatest coach TN has known, I declare this Neyland I. Lets come together for all things TN and beyond. Night shift clocks in at 9pm. Keep the conversations focused on... anything you want. Favorite restaurants, weapons, music and anything that you deem worthy. This is the place to vent, celebrate, complain and rejoice about any sport TN puts on the field. But whatever you do, leave the thread in better shape when you leave than when you entered. Here’s to better days ahead.

There is a pub

 

[windrider]

For some unknown reason, I've grown to like you bunch of crazy dudes and dudettes. Guess that makes me a little crazy too.

VFL family!

I thought I was your family. :cray:

Dude... gotta check out the new fad... KayPro has introduced a personal computer... whoa!

 

[VOLifornia]

Sitting in the Venetian in Vegas and this just started, though it’s been talked about for hours! LMAO

Dang it... sorry about the rotation.
