I feel like dancing right now..epper:

I wish we still awarded this

Coolest trophy in college football. Bring it back!!

I wonder if the national media will have a complete meltdown over this. They just don't expect this from us. It doens't fit the image they have of us in their heads. Tim Brando needs it shoved striaght up his A$$!

They should put up a plaque in the locker room with quotes from all the media clowns who have disparaged the UT job. Motivational material imo.

This, the Official Jon Gruden thread IX will go down as the most epic thread in volnation history and should be moved (along with the Bryce Brown and Jessie Scroggins thread) to the volnation.com Hall of Fame. The only difference being the sweet ending that evaded the two other mentioned threads.

I just don't buy into the whole "It's done & SOON" stuff. In no way would it help UT to go any longer than it must without a HC. Players need to know, recruits need to know who the head coach will be. If it is Gruden, he could accept the job and still finish out MNF this year. Recruiting would get the boost just by the kids knowing he will be here. If we have to play the "wait" game, that would lead me to think it is NOT Gruden and is a current coach for another team. Of course then you have to wait. He has a season to finish and possible bowl game.

I too can't wait to see the reaction. Brando sucks

Call me crazy, but I see ESPN doing the exact opposite and jumping on the bandwagon.

They already know what kind of ratings he can bring in.

Yes. He is one of them and I am sure he has built relationships with a lot of folks up there.

This. Like I said yesterday ESPN cares about relevancy and will fluff whatever gets ratings/draws interest.

 

[VolMaster14]

There aren't many things Timmy B doesn't need shoved up his ass.

Brando is an elder doucheman!

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Gruden Claus is coming to town!:rock:

Can someone do a Gruden Big Orange Claus picture for all of us? Orange suit not red

 

[BearCat204]

Excuse my ignorance but who is Egbert?

Was he trying to say Ergen?

Pretty sure Sab tried to give Jesse his sweet ending.

 

[dyer_maker]

Did he mean Ergen?

 

[UTodd01]

You can hear a pin drop over at Grudenville right now.

Oh of course they will but a lot of them will be in shock

My theory on the "announcement" . . .

- Half-time of SEC Championship game, CBS cuts to a special news conference at UT. The anticipation in the room is palpable, as no sources have confirmed or denied anything to this point.
- Dave Hart walks out, says a few words, and then introduces . . .

PHIL F'IN FULMER!

- The media is stunned, Rucker giggles with glee, Ainge has an aneurysm. The smell of burning serta emanates from the strip
- Then Fulmer says a few brief words about what a great job Tennessee is, blah blah blah, then proceeds to introduce . . . .


- JON FREAKING GRUDEN! And the haze from the once riotous, but now celebratory mattress burnings lingers over Knoxville for days, like a shawl of glorious velvet draped over the shoulders of George Costanza

And Gruden stands behind Johnny Majors and Phil Fulmer shaking hands a la Bill Clinton behind Arafat and Rabin.

A volnation hall of fame. Where people go to look, not post. I like it!!

Anybody notice the coaching profile they did on JG for MNF? Hmmmmm....

 

[shelbyvillevol]

Gary Haskew of 102.3 in Chattanooga.

Can anyone give a quick rundown of who Anderson, Egbert, and Campbell are?

 

[captain chaos]

Dude lost a bet and ate Dog food on his show once.

He is usually reserved when it comes to this stuff.

kibbles and bits?

 

[BigOrangeD]

Basillio about to replay the Jack conversation from yesterday.

 

[UTodd01]

Ainge is officially back on the Gruden train.

 

[Wilson27]

Did he mean Ergen?

I wondered the same thing. Egbert was the name that someone posted that came out of Chattanooga

 

[gordonr24]

I don't know anything about Gary Haskew, so can any Nooga Vols elaborate on how reliable he is?

 

[VolGirlinGA]

ok.

so it's safe to come back in now?

no more suicidal thougts over the color of a tie?
