Hopefully the $ men came through this time. Peterson is the 3rd best coach in college football behind Saban and Meyer. I would be absolutely ecstatic.

Just to clarify. I know this is the Gruden thread. I'm all in for the Grude. Have been all along. Peterson would be the best consolation prize though.

This sounds like a small thing, but I've noticed that the word "kids" has become widely used around the University since I graduated, and I think its ever-present use is holding us back. Botch Jones used it all the time. Its use has become common enough that many of us innocently say it without considering its ramifications. This word might insidiously affect team performance by eroding discipline, responsibility, and pride. I've heard it applied to the football team, to the special snowflakes that used to be the Pride of the Southland, and to pretty much every program operated at UT. It's time we consciously think about avoiding the word in these contexts. Our team is composed of adults - they are grown men, and they need to be treated accordingly and they need to behave accordingly. I wonder how many times JJ heard himself referred to as a kid?

Again, this is a small thing, but every little small thing has snowballed into the sh**show that has become Tennessee over the last decade. Things must change.

Gruden to the Hill!

Well said. I doubt a drill seargent is calling an 18 yr old a kid. I was an immature idiot in college, but lowering the bar doesn't help.

So, back in the day, you were told, and posted here:

"It's a good list. You'll be happy."

(or pretty darn close, I'm not chasing that post down)

So: are you happy?

Yes, in Point Richmond. View from the living room was down the hill, of the Bay and Angel Island.

Worked in SF, out near Cliff House.

We'd go back in a flash, if we could afford it. And if I didn't have to make the @#$%^&* commute. 25 minutes in in the morning; 1 1/2 hour+ out in the afternoon.

Wow, I have lived in a number of cities in the Bay Area, but I am now in Richmond Marina Bay. Had a burger at the Up & Under in the Point last weekend. The views from Point Richmond are incredible.

I work in Berkeley near 80 & University, and when we lived in SF it would take up to an hour to get home which was a mere 12 miles away.

Well, obviously if that were up for public discussion it would have been disclosed. But there are other participants in this process, and that is where a couple of our insiders have gotten their info. And to make it more telling, they have different sources themselves.

Gruden to the Hill, Coasty! Gruden to the Hill!

You promised not to reveal my super duper insider status!

Fulmer called the team "kids" all the time. Seems like every post game interview he talked about "how well our kids played" or "how proud of our kids" he was. He is the first I remember ever calling them that. My dad and I used to laugh about it, a lot of those "kids" had some nice beards

Here’s my hang up.
I’m told it’s Petersen but how can it be?
No way their AD gave permission for an interview till after the last regular season game.
Unless Currie has history with Petersen that makes the interview unnecessary
