Figured I’d post now since it’s slow- are there any boards on here for Vols in different cities to connect?
Just moved to Austin TX a year ago and have had some trouble finding a permanent job. Have good experience and am a hard worker.
Would love it if some Vols in ATX could maybe point me in the right direction.

What say you guys?

Also, I’m 100% on Gruden.

If you were Arkansas I might be able to help but I don’t know anyone in Austin. Sorry mate.

I haven't seen any boards like that on here, but it's a fine idea. I'd imagine Facebook might be an option for something like that, or you could give a shout-out in some of the forums here if they look appropriate.

He is for sure but like everyone was saying he was more so on the not/transferring side because of Jones and the mess we have but he's coming back here and I think it's because of gruden

My opinion, and I’ve read every post since thread ten:

Jimmy H has been promised first interview with new head coach once announced, or cash in exchange for saying no meeting took place with UT officials in Tampa.
He is putting his whole broadcast career on the line in the Knoxville market going against Brice who is respected by almost everybody.. This request had to be made by the University.. this is what has me worried.

John Brice, and Trey Wallace are legit. I think their sources are backtracking due to the media circus from today.

Jayson Swains source is Phil Fulmer.

Albright’s source’s are the Mannings.

I think Tee Martin will be the next OC, and is in negotiations on a buyout..

Pilll’s info Is the backbone of this board in the past 48 hrs, and has spread to other media outlets.
The information was so detailed, it has to be true..or it was wrote by a deranged psychopath.

Tuesday, and Pill are the only ones to name their source (in some general fashion) and say its done.

The rest have been posts with no backing...

Bubba, and Beaver have to be the same person..
The person who posts under those names are highly educated, and have some sort of direct knowledge of the financial package delivered to Gruden. The odds of two people with direct knowledge of this coming to a message board at the same time have to be in the trillions...That’s why I think it’s one person. I don’t think the person is a troll..they just don’t know if Gruden will actually accept. It’s just an opinion, unless it reported back to them last night that Gruden signed.

Atlanta Vol is legit, and whoever says he’s a troll should be banned from this site.

Not sure what I can do for you other than point you in the right direction...but if I can help in any way, holla at me. I own a bar here that is ALL VOLS!

Sounds good, planning to head that way next summer for vacation. Any bar that’s all Vol sounds like a definite pit stop to me!

What kind of work you looking for? I’ve been here for 27 years and am very well connected as a business owner. Maybe I could help you out?

I've got a heck of a good friend in Fort Collins you should meet sometime. He's like a brother to me. He's a GA PhD grad and there's only one day per year where our thoughts diverge.

It’s called the Town Pump. When you get out here, look it up, stop in and ask the bartender to text me....😉 you’ll know you’re there when you walk in cuz I am Power T’s everywhere!!

Have an ex that lives in LR.
We dated until she forgot to tell me she started dating another guy. Funny how that happens!

Little Rock is a decent place to have fun but I’m glad I don’t live there. I’m in the scenic part of the state. Actually reminds me of Chattanooga before it got to big.

Ask him if he knows the Town Pump!! Then get back to me. 👊🏼

And I know several UGA grads out here, and we have the same relationship...friends for 364 days per year. Lol

Solid post. I feel like Wallace and Brice have been given tonight’s information from the same person.

They are the only two respectable sources that have supported “Gruden to UT” rumors. The only way to stop the leaks is to give them something else to report.

Long post warning: apologies. Well. Been a member since 09 if I recall correctly and jumped on to see if someone could point me to a game replay after I got off work one Saturday night. My only 3 prior posts. Never bothered to post since or prior, just enjoy sifting for info. Waited until the night shift tonight to chime in as I hope and imagine this will be overlooked, but man, how can you not participate in the greatest threads on earth given the free opportunity: Been riding this train since the uga game, lurking since Kiffy, and was fortunate enough to be live and following when MITBeaver made his first appearance, as well as the Bubba convo directed to twitter and ATL Vol vouching some info about a certain golf course prior to the Beaver posts being wiped. These threads continue to be incredibly entertaining and I salute all who contribute. My wife thinks I'm nuts and I haven't hit my sales quota the last two months...Is there a support group yet? I don't claim to know anything and am no more connected than the next guy. I have observed, however, and that IMO, MITBeaver's demeanor has changed since those original posts were wiped. I'm not doubting or questioning who he may be as his info lines up with info I have gotten through two not verifiable sources (third hand or greater) since very early on. While I trust the channels my info came from I would never say 100% until it's announced as Coach has last right of refusal. Further I can excuse a difference in MITs tone from the initial posts that I read for many speculative (on my part) reasons. At worst he had some initial back story bases covered, is somewhat connected, and has been winging it as a pretty smart guy intent on trolling (and mostly doing a dang fine job) , and at best was a willing participant as a die hard Vols fan in a campaign to create a pressure situation for all parties involved and has grown a bit fatigued. Truth tends to lie somewhere in between. I don't have specific posts to point to a change, it's just some subtleties I've picked up on, if you've stayed up on him; whether that's a longer leash, bravado, ego, frustration, or the initial scripted plays have been gone through and now he's freelancing and having a bit of fun (and I don't blame him if that's the case). I could go on but what's the point? Volnation has exceeded my hopes with people giving away tickets to less fortunate to amazing educating in how to post GIFs, suicide and military support groups sprouting up, flight stalking streaming live, and fighting like family - what's not to love? Finally, based on all I can put together from sources near and far, I think an offer has been made that would be damn near impossible to say no to and if he can get a staff together that he feels great about then we're about to make some real serious noise. But the ball is in Coach's court and if you know Coach at all, he's more than a little crazy. Which is why I love him. Could go either way. I feel good about it. Gruden to the hill! Ps I've almost posted this repeatedly and have refrained. Then tonight someone was poor mouthing Dickel. Ain't nothing wrong with Dickel!

Fanatic.... a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.

The problem with a fanatic is they lack rationality in their thought process, hence single mindedness.

Looking at all that has transpired in the last couple weeks has led me to believe that there are two types of people that primarily frequent this thread,

1 is the fanatic, which believes everyone is a troll that either does not provide the information they demand, or provides information they refuse to believe.

2 Is everyone else that chooses to weed through the fanatical posts of the fanatics, and rationally digest the bits and pieces of valuable information provided by individuals that have in some way or another gaind their trust.

Unfortunately, it seems the late night crowd falls more inline with the fanatic category, and it’s very hard to get through the madness. I worry their constant attacks and accusations could hinder the flow of information if it continues to escalate. I hope not.

Beaver, Pill, Bubba, ATL, Exile, you are appreciated, very much so, and keep the info flowing. Don’t let these irrational night shift people get to you.

All they want is everything now. UF will get Kiffin and you know what he'll do with that 5* Corral. Same thing he did with Hurts. Hell read his take on GN or SDS about the SEC being a different animal. Above all I know Spurrier and he sees himself in Lane. We need Gruden and a good DC to compete.
