The Grude News, the morning edition. For those just joining us...
I'm not sure even where to start after yesterday's events. But I'll start with my utmost admiration at what my Vol Brothers and Sisters pulled off in the last week. Never before has a fan base ever even come close to doing what we did to get done what we knew we had to. In one word: amazing. We went from downtrodden masses after a complete disaster of a season to energized and focused on a single goal. Don't listen to the media or the idiots on SEC Nation. We did it by showing the leadership at UT and, in turn, the world what we were all about. The Power T isn't dead and we showed them it's a lifestyle, not a logo.
PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THE WHOLE POST!
This morning, we'll have kind of a hybrid of what I've done. Maybe be a bit long, but enjoy.
We woke up dreading what was coming at us, knowing full well Currie had been in California. Now, we didn't think Mike Leach was a horrible hire, but remembered it was Currie and we were like.
But decided to get up anyway and see what damage had been done:
But found we were still coach-less at the moment (little Leo for the ladies):
Somehow, we decided in our minds Currie was at our breakfast table. That's how bad our anger has been:
But managed to make it through the morning without further incidents. Not until we got into the car at least:
And saw our favorite Bammer car on the way to work:
But forgetting we were taking the kids to school that morning:
Got to work and commenced on our email campaign:
And made our phone calls (again):
We even had a protest planned out by one of our own Queens, Sara:
But then, news started to leak about Currie being recalled:
And possible news he was being removed:
More and more media was reporting it:
We had done it! He was being removed! It was like our Hail Mary, last second shot had been pulled off!
However, our celebration was short lived as another name popped into the conversation. Reid Sigmon, a man Currie hired:
So, our email and phone calls doubled:
But all the sudden, a name surfaced. A name we could all get behind. A man respected enough to take the helm:
But we were scared. Was it only rumor?
But then...UT updated the website with the news!
And he had a press conference that afternoon. Exuding confidence and raising our own:
And said "we're going to make winning championships fun again."
We were ecstatic! We called everyone!
And texted:
And called some again:
And sent our thanks to the UT Admin for the narrowly dodged bullet:
And we celebrated:
Some, a little more than others:
Which continued into the evening:
We celebrated with our coaching search family on here while Faceless provided the musical entertainment with her air guitar:
Wild @s a Mink even cut a little rug after sending approximately 1,843,823 Tweets:
And Faceless broke out the vodka:
And celebrations ensued through the evening:
Even Freak allowed us to let our hair down, but implored us not to get out of control:
It got a little close to the edge:
TennGirl got flirty with this reporter again:
But eventually, we started dropping out:
And to wake up this morning and realizing it wasn't a dream:
And will likely cause more celebrations today:
Because folks started talking again. Our "insiders" started talking again. Is this guy really back in play?
Could he really come to Tennessee?
Which causes us to go back into a wait and see stance:
As we continue today...
From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
