It's not very different from this Gruden thread. If you like it in here, you'd probably like it there.

I've given up on Hollywood for the most part. We tend to watch The History Channel, Science Channel, etc.
 
Ok, how many flights of stairs have you done by yourself today?😀

All of them. But in a situation like that, my husband would not only be wanting to make sure I was comfortable and okay, he would be looking to me to share the moment and steady him as well. We are a team. They do not appear to be.

Did I miss something? Thought I saw Pruitt carrying his son down the steps. I kind of figured that his wife told her husband not to forget that he was a father and gave him a job to do.
 
Hello all!
I've been lurking in the Gruden thread for a few weeks. I truly appreciate the joy ride it was reading things from all of you. I feel that I've run the gambit of emotions which now have me at meh.

I will never forget the search of 17.
I saw a movement in Vol fans the likes we may never see again. In the end it didn't turn out how I felt it should have but it is what it is.

Today we saw a new chapter open up but until I see proof on the field it won't interest me.
Today will never explain why we couldn't land a top guy and why TN football is seemingly only a shadow what I used to know.

Hopefully we'll be relevant or at least entertaining to watch soon. I want to leap with the same excitement I had when the miracle at Southbend made young man run all over the house.

Thank you all for letting me see and remember what true Vols are about.

Waiting for a rebirth....TTV

What's the integral of 1/x from 0 to cabin?

Natural log cabin.

I know, I didn't laugh either, but she'll get it.

Hahahaha

I saw a t- shirt yesterday that I would wear if I were a math teacher...

Math: it's all fun and games until someone tries to divide by zero.

Love my fellow OG's and what was this thread. I despise what my beloved football program has become.

The odds are that Pruitt will fail - hell the odds of any coach succeeding aren't that great. I could have supported Tee Martin 100% because at least we gave him a shot and he won a Naty for the Vols in 1998.

My apathy has now gotten the better of me; I will not give my blind support and loyalty to this bamar coordinator neither will I invest my emotions or finances. We deserve better! I will have to see it to believe it on this hire and I will be critical of the new coach when deserved.

Take care OG's - we had a nice ride....

I was raised that way. I tell my son that I have a bald spot because that's where my Dad always whacked me to get the door.

I was the youngest and have two sisters. I was always stuck in the middle of the back seat. They used to get out of the car and run the door, because they knew that I'd get whacked if I didn't beat them to the door.

The best thing that I have done is raised my son the same way. He even takes his hat off at the table. Not when he comes in the house, but I'm guilty of that also.

The pic at the bottom of the stairs was probably innocent but had terrible optics. She was just starting to the stairs and he was already down. Yes, with the kid, but seemingly without regard for his wife.

Well, he probably got it but good for getting a good bit into his presser before thanking her. That said, he’s only in his 40’s. Took 30 years for my wife to train me. :)

I have 3 daughters. It will be hard to find 3 gentlemen for then to marry. Sounds like you've done well.

Well, he will make it up to her with a $3mm house she can spend the next two years decorating.....

Mr. SFD forgot to thank me once. After that he did it before even an ice breaking joke.

Welp, I'm finally here. It is said there are 5 stages of grief. First is denial, that's where most of us were last night I think. And maybe even today right up until he got off the plane. Then you have anger, obviously a lot of that last night, at least for me (sorry Daisy - she's my basset).

Let's see, then there is bargaining - hoping something (alcohol?) will relieve the pain. Since I rarely indulge I just went to on to bed. Then there is depression. I was there most of the morning when there was no denying it really happened.

Finally there is acceptance. I'm there. He is here and I will always be a vol so this afternoon and evening I have been researching him and his potential staff. Looks like it's not as bad as I feared and he may actually bring us success. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Still hurts but that's where I am. How about you all?

It is exciting again to see the insiders giving us what they get on his staff. Nice to see them back again. Thanks to all of them and all of you for allowing me along on that crazy ride.
