Official Gruden Thread 38

[river rat]

We don’t have the APR to make one at 5-7

Took a hit when Dobbs left?

 

[wildorange]

Sorry but no. Currie has his target and if he turns us down ( I don't think it will be because of money or control), then he is smart enough to have a backup plan.

Guys having to make this decisions almost always have a backup plan. Save folks like Hart and Butt cheek. But I have to believe Currie is doing the real work this time. SOON! GRUDEN TO THE VOLS!

That email is fake. It just says we will meet in the West skybox. There are multiple floors with multiple suites in the skyboxes. Not a single skybox.

Apparently the email is sent from an addy that only an inside person would know to photo shop. You decide.

 

[VolNExile]

You still positive? If so I’m going to shotgun a keystone light right now

I'll bet you're thinking of my Exile twin :wink2:, but FWIW, I'm still positive.

If nothing else, we have a new administration and a BOT that looks willing to do what it takes to get Tennessee back to its rightful place in NCAA football!

 

[Bluegrass Vol]

Maybe Gruden doesn't want a "Coach in waiting". First sign of problems and fans are calling for CIW.

Exactly, my thoughts if the CIW isn't doing great could GRUDE replace him with a new coordinator?

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Oh lol.

Yeah. I'm drunk

If a firm owns one skybox on the West side, and one (or more) on the East side, they may use "the west skybox" as convenient shorthand.

You get to say "the mailbox" when talking to a family member, even though there are a ton of mailboxes on your street. Right?

Not unless the sender was simply referring generally to the skybox knowing that the email recipients would know what they were talking about. He also seems to be waiting for rsvps to nail down the specifics.

That was a letdown in the AV post for me. Those crazies tracking planes were hilarious while still lending the possibility of an elusive picture.

I hate that part is over now. It had a sitcom feel with dramedy potential.

Who says its over? Just don't tell Jon Reed and we have tons more entertainment!

This thread meets the criteria for a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis:

characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and an individual's sense of identity.

 

[DownTheField]

it is true that every bounded sequence contains a convergent subsequence, and furthermore, every monotonic sequence converges if and only if it is bounded.

I ruined a brand new pair of shoes that night because of all the water. I think it is now second to last night!

last night was a blast for sure

 

[Gary10ec1]

Would have had an announcement by now if not for the Illuminati. Saban may be more “connected” than we know. Soonish..

 

[tastycar]

Just the fact that he lost a car TWICE and missed the plane to go get snacks...platinum status for me as far as entertainment value.

And the fact Hubbs bought in...fantastic.

FWIW, she's the good looking one. I'm the long winded one.

Well the crazies at reddit still believe in tracking planes. Looking into Haslam planes that have been to Maryland recently.

 

[DownTheField]

so, the coach-in-waiting model works pretty well?

 

[Squints]

Is every bound sequence convergent?

No, but every convergent sequence is bounded.

Personally, I think it stinks.

 

[goooooovols]

I find it impossibly believable that UT would explicitly structure a contract, wherein Tee (or any coach, for that matter) would be penciled in as - In Waiting. Anyone who follows CFB understands the dynamics involved. Each season presents a different challenge with recruiting, internal and external demands, funding, available options, etc.

I have been clear about my thoughts on Tee before, and I don't understand the drool fest. I appreciate his time as a player, but he is unproven in being a solid position coach and coordinator, much less a head coach (in-waiting or otherwise).

I want "orange blood" throughout our great university, but I also want the best option available over having the same blood type. I look at the VFLs as being culturally competent, the ones who know what it means to be a Vol, and are willing to take all necessary steps to hold themselves and their players to that standard. I would take a VFL in every available position, hands down, but only if they are deserving of it. Just as an example, and I'm not picking, but we can do better than Tee for any position he may be in the running for.

Makes too much sense! Can’t believe that it would cause a hold up

How did it work for Muschamp?

 

[tastycar]

Don't tell them they don't have to do that. The lunacy makes the waiting tolerable.

 

[Volsorta]

Mike Tomlin?

I have been away from the thread since late last night. working on Sunday will do that to you. Currie has supposedly contacted other candidates? And the rumored sunday announcement is not to be?

 

[apevol]

Ape give him a tube and a mouse.

HowmI gonna feed the snake?

 

[TJunky]

Sorry I forgot who asked for this gif but here you go.
I'm new to making these but they are fun.
