I sincerely pray for you Coastypop. Sometimes we put confidence in man, especially "God's man", but we soon see that man will fail us. I've always heard our true character is revealed when no one is watching. I sincerely pray for you because I know I don't live in a glass house, and I fail all the time. However, it's still difficult to come to the realization that there is really a sinful, dirty man behind man who stands in the pulpit that wears the smile and the suit and tie. I'm sure you have preached the fact that someone is watching you. As a young man,
when I read your posts my initial reaction is to lose confidence in all men of God and Christians in general. However, I am quickly reminded that I was saved by God's amazing grace, and not a man who sins behind closed doors. I really wish I had never realized that I know you. When I look back at your postservice for the last few days, I grow increasingly sad and depressed. But then, I remember that God forgives. Again, I sincerely pray for you, and I will continue.
I'll do it one more time.
DTO came through with the news of "UT and Butch reached buyout."
I trust him. Still texted my friend anyway and asked if had heard the same. He said he had and I asked him, as I always do, if I could post the info. Usually he says hold off or says "leave out the details" or something. He gave me the green light and so just to make sure I asked what he was cool with me posting?
He replied with a screenshot of our entire convo and said "post this" .. I posted it right away.
Someone pointed out that the convo was backwards and I pointed out that he was the one that screenshot it from his iPhone and then I screenshot from my Macbook what it looked like from my view and posted it.
In between people jumped to the conclusion that I was a troll, and since I was a troll, so was DTO because we met one time and he told me some info. And since we were trolls so was Boro because he allowed me to get the info.
It's been really fun.

I'm glad I went to church too. There seems to have been a Royal Rumble in here that happened between
6:45-9:15 EST. I just skipped all.
True story:
The preacher tonight used Butch Jones as an example of not meeting expectations and disapponiting a lot of people and that UT will likely have to let him go. I would've held up a "Fire Butch Jones" sign, if I had one.
Which one of you preachers was it? (It was a Baptist church in N. Knox County)
It's pretty easy to see and read a daily shiznit sandwich of bovine scatology being served up by about the same bunch some with different handles this time although we have a new set of rubes doing the consuming. I dined at this crappy restaurant the last time, I had enough then. Bon appetit!!
Dilly, dilly.If we are adults .... which I am (several times) I am here of my own choice and read and believe what I choose to read and believe... although I do appreciate your concern for my mental well being... I have my eyes open and if I get fooled, so be it... I think I have earned that right and so has these other folks
This thread has been the only bright spot most of us have had this year when it comes to Tennessee football and I want to be here and I doubt we will get Gruden as much as anyone.... but if I choose to believe it is no ones business but my own ...
But again I am sure you are meaning well but that is Not how it is being perceived..
I was here in 2912 and if we don?t get Gruden this time and there is another coaching search I will be in the Gruden thread again
Stop acting like we are children Please!!! We don?t want nor need your protection
