Let's get a quick idea how broad we are Volnation and how loud our celebration will be heard around the world when Gruden is announced. Post your county or city.

Athens,TN

hmmm, nevermind.

 

[HeadVol77]

Exactly

 

[UT PaulVol]

Easy, they check in from time to time.

Meh.

Even with this couldn't Currie Or Gruden say "no" and not really mean it? Remember how many times Saban said he wasn't coming to Bama until he did?

Hypothetically, yes.

Practically speaking, with all the work that's gone into this, I think it's safe to say if Gruden says no, that's it.

I do not believe he will say no, because I believe he's already agreed.

All of these cloak and dagger statements these “Insiders” make like riddles , small clues, smokescreens. Have any of them come to fruition? My confidence that Gruden is coming drops every day Maybe Jimmy Hyams is right as bad as I hate to say it. I want to be wrong

Growing up I caught the end of the Battle era. We were bad and bama started the first streak on us. It was the time of not many games on TV. My friends and I would toss around the football and listen to THE GREAT JOHN WARD.Year after year bama would win till finally I was grown. U.S. Marines 1982 on USS Iwo Jima middle of the Atlantic Ocean 2 a.m. My friends straight from the message center woke me up and gave me a paper message, No.1 Alabama lost to Tennessee 35-28. I was elated,how long I had waited for that, carried that that paper around at all times.When I went home on leave my Dad gave me a present, cassette tape of the John Ward broadcast of the game. Went to my backyard,got my old football tossed it in air listened.I was transformed back into my youth,but this time TENNESSEE WON ! Better than that a lot of those same guys and myself watched together as we put two win streaks on bama,5 SEC Titles, Peyton and a National Championship. Hang together my fellow Vols we will be back and with the right coach sooonn!

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

 

[UTVolinExile]

i was referring to you actually giving up your connection.

Not going to happen. Which is still a straight answer.

Seriously, I'm not even trusting my own mother right now!!

 

[Pete Carpet]

Thank you sir for your service..

I still have that cassette of John Ward''s radio broadcast.

That is cool ! Vintage Ward.

 

[Volsfan458]

Ok, I see what you're saying.

I pretty much answered this already though. I absolutely believe that Gruden is signed. And I will not discuss in any further detail how I came by that piece of information.

Someone bump rockytopinSC's post about jobs being on the line.

That’s cool, and we’re good bud. Just know that us mere peons can only access info that we get (positive or negative) from our frame of reference. Your stance about not responding to negative info seemed a bit harsh in that regard.

 

[SWFLvol33]

Not going to happen.

that's why i said "you aren't going to get a straight answer"

edit: lol'd at your edit

 

[Dergibvol]

Yes. A couple of us called the Tampa meeting. The only insider you should trust, however, is Atlanta Vol.

did we ever find out what happened to orangepills posts?

I'm here. Just playing things cautiously which is why I removed my Saturday info. Felt there was a small chance I was being used. I won't post any more info until this is all over even if I hear something.

He is saying they not only said "yes", but signed the documents. Any number of people would be involved with this from Attorneys to a secretary.
