Bruin some people have "BowelOptate"

This is a chronic medical condition where their optical nerves become detached and reattach to their rectal opening that makes everything look like ****!

Do we have to post pictures of Neyland with all the empty seats?

The fans showed where they stood on Dooley and will do it again in a heart beat except this time it will be even worse if a lackluster hire is made.

LOL ok Patrick. You are right. Gruden is the only coach in the whole wide world that will put asses in seats in Neyland.

To all in this forum, if I sounded this ridiculous during this process, I am very very sorry and am embarrassed.

I found this site after being a UT fan for 31 years because of this thread. My father has been on this site since 2003, when it started and TOS as well. I enjoyed watching this thread and posting very little. It gave me hope for UT football and I still believe that Gruden is our next coach.
How can we turn on those that gave us information? As I recall, most of us begged them for any bit of info they could get. We were told by people many dates of when this could happen. We also know that there is a power struggle in the AD office with the boosters. The Chatt Times writer gives me hope. The words from Gruden's Agent were released from the KNS, from the office of the AD. I do not believe it was officially from Gruden's Agent and it was a ploy to drive us away from Gruden as our main target because Hart and the boosters are at odds. The AD and the boosters have been giving there respective people info that contradicts each other since the start. Whether if Dooley got fired, when Dooley gets fired, who is our next coach, if Gruden is our next coach, Yes he is our next coach, never talked to gruden, blah blah blah. All this has been said and contradicted from posters to Basillo to Ainge... ETC. I believe in the end this works out. Even when asked for a comment Grudens agent later on has said he has no comment.
I want to thank those that gave information that they passed on. If you give them a hard time, I feel bad for you. That is not the way of a gentleman, nor a Tennessee fan as I was raised. I respect everyone till they cause me to lose respect. I still respect you all.
None of you will know who I am or will remember this. But I found a lot of comfort in an uncomfortable time here in this thread and this site. I wish the best for this program and this site.
I am, however, disgusted at our incisive need to just take it and give up. We have lost our fight as fans of a distinguished proud program and as I watch this SEC championship game I find myself in remembrance of our "glory" days. Those days when an Alabama AD would have sickened me. When a Gator Chancellor was out of the question. We have proud graduates of UT that can fill these positions and that SHOULD be done. I am sick of being kicked around and looked on with pity.

Flame all you want. I understand what this leads to. It's time to rise and say It's Football Time In Tennessee. It is time to reclaim our school and it's proud tradition. What was once great can be great again. I will not give up and I do not want to see us settle anymore.

Until I hear otherwise,

We Are Worth It.

We are Tennessee.

and I support the future of Tennessee.

Thank you for letting me be apart of this for a few months.

Don't give up, Never settle..

I am afraid you guys might be giving a small market newspaper too much credit here.

I hope I am wrong.

The Chattanooga times free press might make the Knoxville News Sentinal look like Forbes or the Economist, but so would the Enquirer.

I am not sold that this guys credibility is untarnished because of his career of working in a relatively minor newspaper.

I've lived in both towns and the Chattanooga Times Free Press is a much better and more professional newspaper than the Knoxville News Sentinel.

Our recruiting during Dooley was pitiful at best
Click to expand...

Wrong.. Do ur homework.. For a team that has been as down as UT, he did a very good job at recruiting.. Too bad it's the only thing he did a good job of.. He was out recruiting teams that have had twice the recent success, and that's what is really important to recruits.

I do not know what that means for us getting Gruden.... but i can hope

For me, it means a lot of what I'm reading doesn't make a lot of sense right now. And that's a good thing in my opinion.

But, at the end of the day, I'll find a way to get excited about whoever they name as our new head coach. Just like I did with Kiffin and Dooley. I'll find reasons to be hopeful and excited about what might be. Because I'm just a football fan with no control what so ever.

My news has not been good Patrick, not everyone has the same sources. The stories don't add up but it is one I would love to know, I can tell you that.

Well hopefully heads (or a certain head attached to a certain person named Hart) will roll!!!!

On that note, I'm out.... Got to hang some lights.

Talk to you all later.

Dana Holgerson???

They would have to put a clause in his contract that says he has to wear a hat...cant look at him as a serious coach with that hair…looks like he should be in an 80’s van trying to hand out candy in a school zone.

I'm getting trolled by a Bama fan. Please ignore my last post.
