On Beaver and/or trolls.
Whether or not someone is a troll has no bearing on if Jon Gruden will be the next coach at UT. You set yourself up for disappointment and a roller coaster of emotions when you take every word as gospel truth from any one poster on a message board. We're all on edge and desperate for good news, but we've created a vulnerable atmosphere where someone like Beaver could play us all. I'm not saying Beav is a troll. I don't know him. I'm just saying the conditions are right. Some have also run off reputable posters like bcarter just because he was level-headed and didn't buy into all the optimism. Gotta listen to people, even if their info doesn't line up with your agenda.
Best practice: listen to the general consensus of the reputable posters (on VN, VQ, 247) who have been here for a long time and have credibility. Have faith. Pray for the best. And "woo" your heart out during Rocky Top!
Good days are ahead.
